| Vintage vs Modern speakers. Well if you are using the same amp to drive all 3 pairs, this will have a profound impact on the sound. The Altecs should be very easy to drive with tubes the others probably not. | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Waytoomuchstuff brings up a real positive about horns when he mentions low level detail. I have never heard another speaker type that does this as well as horns. When at Tri's house, I was shocked by this single aspect of his system. | |
| Re-tipped stylus vs original manufacturer I recently had my Dynavector DRT XV-1t redone by VAS and was completely satisfied. Cantilever was fine but the tip and suspension were replaced. Price from the Dynavector importer was a complete rebuild, even if not needed, for over $ 4900.00. Plu... | |

| Horns What happened to johnk? I thought we were just getting started. I wonder if perhaps he does or used to own a Japanese twin with straight pipes? | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. Wish I could cherry pick. | |
| Horns I didnt say definitively that it was an L this was just a guess. The 4312 comes to mind if this was the speaker with the midrange and tweeter on the same horizontal plane when upright. Why dont you just say you like JBL speakers and my comment tha... | |
| Horns I wanted to make certain that he had heard this design before buying. His statement about "buy and try" raised some questions. Dont get me wrong I love aspects of horn speaker reproduction, but in the areas which I find most important I think they... | |
| A warm natural sounding preamp jjss49, But adding warmth to warmth is not what you want. To best reproduce warmth you want neutrality. I am not so sure adding additional harmonics is what would be ideal. As an example I wouldnt call Atma-sphere amplifiers warm, I would say the... | |
| Horns No you arent wrong about the way the press covered tube amps or early digital. Doesnt make your point one bit about how they covered dynamic speakers vs. horns and that the same mistakes were repeated. If you want to point me to a specific article... | |
| Horns Oh and by the way, who is your source for the information about the 50s and 60s tactics to sell AR speakers? Perhaps you should say you dont like the old ARs and prefer horns. To assume that many of the negative opinions regarding horns arent base... | |
| Horns Well what type of speaker used for mastering has no bearing on the quality of reproduction in your home system. For example those awful JBL speakers used in so many mastering studios for decades should be proof enough. The goal with speakers is to... | |
| Horns Well I believe that the type of transducer has a huge impact on the sound of the speaker. So the difference in sound when comparing dynamic speakers is not as significant as comparing dynamic speakers with horns or panels. I have never heard a hor... | |
| Horns Listen to horns before buying. If you are used to other types of speakers you will find horns have a unique sound and specific attributes that you may or may not appreciate. | |
| A warm natural sounding preamp Warm and natural are mutually exclusive terms. |
