Can you live with your current speaker until you die?

Yes I can!

In my 40 years of history I had gone through around 15 speakers including

ADS, Altec Lansing, Thiel, Canton, Apogee Duetta Signature(10years), BMW 801, Avalon Ascent, Wilson Audio Watt and Puppy6.



I settled at Pacific Northwest area located just midway between Seattle and Vancouver BC around 6 years ago.

It has a nice western view of Bay and Pacific Ocean with 2 acres lot.

I could play music loud during midnight with no problem to my neighbors as long as I close the windows.


With vaulted big space, my Lansche 4.1 speakers makes a beautiful voice out of classical, Jazz or even new age music.

I had been living with the speaker since 2007.

I do not claim that Lansche 4.1 is the best speaker in the world.

But with clean and pristine treble out of plasma tweeters and pretty good bass out of 2 10 inch driven by internal active amplifier and high efficiency (99db spec, but I believe it to be around 93db), it is hard to find better speaker with overall merit for my house.


The only catch is that it can stop working since it is an active speaker( plasma tweeter and active bass unit).

But I keep having good communication with Henry Dien of Lansche Audio who upgraded plasma tweeters twice at reasonable cost.

I can happily live with Lansche 4.1 speakers at my present house for my life unless serious health issues happen to either me or my speakers.

How about you gentlemen and ladies?

Had any one of you found the speaker for your life?

I was back to my favorite vintage shop at Seoul Friday.

Japanese Western field coil replica was priced very favorably.

The shop owner recommend me to get the replica and then find original Western midrange and bass field coil drivers in due course.

He mentioned to me that power supply, bass box and treble horn of Japanese replica could be used for original Western drivers.

I could not make up mind this time.

But I will be back to Seoul April next year to see my newborn twin granddaughter.

Then I try to find best option with advice of Mr Chung of Silbatone.

 

I wish to get original Western field horn system before I die.😀

 

After being back to my home in Washington State, I pleayed my Scaena 3.2 augmented by pair of Rel 31 subwoofers.

It souud fast and exciting with realistic deep and wide soundstage.

But I noticed mid bass impact limited compared with Magico M9 or other vintage system with double 18 inch woofers.

Thus I had tried amping involving bass horn of Altec A7..

Using JL Audio Cr1 active crossober, I ended up using pair of Rel 31 and Sceana 18 inch subwoofers below 75hz.

The upper signal out of Cr1 goes to Accuphase F25.

Altec A7 basshorn covers from 75hz to 290 hz.

Main tower of Sceanea cover 290hz and up.

With this 4 way triamping system, I could almost get enough mid bass impact.

Thus I am happy with this combination so far.
