How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?
Thanks for the info Mike, those 4435s are classics and awesome!  
How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?
Great info, thanks…maybe I should spend more time reading and less listening?  
How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?
Copy that Erik, guess I was confused, but it was JBLs fault😂, they compared true horns with their compression versions in the write-up. Either way they are excellent sounding, and thanks for the clarity!  
How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?
I have had horn speakers in my life from the very first purchase and now as possibly the last in my systems and loved them. I started as a kid in 1976 with a pair of B.I.C. Venturi. For $79.95 and now have JBL Array 1400s. Super happy with them! T... 
How old are you?
56, parents never understood why I felt like I deserved stereo equipment better than them. Couldn't answer that question at 11. Mowed lawns for $$ then. After I sent cash through the mail to Hifi Buys for my first system. Technics SA200 receiver, ... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Hi gene3x, I had B&W 802s until I purchased an MC352 with a C2500 pre to match. Several people’s comments are correct about those tweeters, they were too bright and fatiguing for me, so I sold them. They were ok with my Parasound A21 Halo amp,... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
I am also at the stage in my gear collecting where I’m trying to tweak everything to it’s maximum performance. So, I recently replaced the XLR interconnects between my CD player and preamp and preamp and amplifier. I had about a $350 budget per se... 
Best cartridge under $1500.
Thanks for all your inputs, I pushed the button on the Dyno 17D3, found one used with only 20 hrs on it, too cheap at $800 to pass up with all the good reviews. I have the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC, the AT ART9 and the Ortofon Cadenza Blue, in que fo...

Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
I am also considering the Legacy Signatures for their size to room size ratio. Just worried about the bass output. My listening room is 11' wide by 20' long. so the speaker will have to be 7-8 feet apart to not  sound terrible from wall proximity.... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Wow!!! My mind is spinning! Thanks Dave, Troy, and Charles! This is why I was having trouble in the first place...I figured the speakers were equally matched on performance rather than price and appearance so much. It's just a matter of very perso... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Thanks all! I think this gives me enough AMMO, to make a decision. I do love the aesthetic of the Legacys better and figured they would have more bass. As I said, my 802s are weak there, so I’ve been craving the speakers of old where 12-15 inch wo... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks for the response Corelli, now I need Mac to see my question... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I saw on here that several of you (corelli, and mac48025) had the Legacy Focus and went with the Tekton DIs. What was the difference in sound? I prefer rock, alternative and industrial, but have a fair collection of Jazz and Classical, but my hear...
