| 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. | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo 100W per channel from a pair of KT-88s? Doesnt seem possible even for a quad of KT-88s. | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo As have I. Evidently certain members believe that if they cant hear something it doesnt exist. Problem is that this person gives advice which might be taken by others without due diligence. | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo Autoformers do affect the sound of your system! I am not saying that they are not an option and may be better than the wrong load on an OTL amplifier but they do affect the sound. How could they not as they are a complication/break in the chain? | |
| Vintage versus New Quad 57s are one of the few vintage speakers that I think is still relevant and competitive. Keep in mind that chances are good that you will need the 57s redone if they are untouched after purchase.. With few exceptions, speakers are much better ... |
