| Best Speakers for Listening Bar I am building? Will need horns Altec a5 would be a good choice. Or better yet DIY a large pair or buy from someone who is in the know on horns.

Purifi is just using something similar it's not a breakthrough at all. That's just marketing it's just a modern driver. More similar to others than different. it's the ... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience I was lucky to get my hands on the axi2050 before they hit the market and was asked to give my opinions on it in different horns sized enough to take advantage of it. Celestron has a CD horn they suggest it's good if you want to use CD EQ DSP and ... | |
