| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Please don't use the phrase "fair and balanced" if you want to be taken seriously. I have been conditioned to expect partisan lies to follow whenever I see or hear that slogan. Southern accent is another flag. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Okay! I'm not using tubes either although I have a pair of tubed monos stashed. The topic really is speaker efficiency and whatever advantages it provides. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? The best is whatever you prefer. There is no intellectual way to establish actual factual superiority without measurements and these forums generally decline that pathway when it is presented. This is an emotional experience that cannot be assesse... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Acurus - Don't criticize what you can't understand.It would appear that spelling is not your greatest weakness.Just stop and think about why it bothers you that other people are discussing a subject among themselves.

| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I believe it was Earl Geddes who said, "Science is not a democracy".

| Why not horns? Macrojack, I do not know what I said to give you this impression, but you are definetely entitled to your opinion. I am wondering if you have me confused with someone else. Would you please explain why you think my foot is in my mouth ? Because yo... | |

| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Comparing a planar to a horn is like comparing a slingshot to a rifle. When was the last time you attended a concert or a sporting event in a stadium or arena where planar speakers were used for sound reinforcement? If your answer is "never", then... | |

| What does one purchase after owning horns? Yorkville Sound's Unity speakers are a Danley design. Look into the them. All the reports I've read about them are raves. There's a fellow on AC named JDUBS who bought a pair and has gone to extremes modifying and enhancing them. My guess is that ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? 4 hours is a lot of foreplay to waste on the phone. | |
| Why not horns? I hear you, Mapman. I'm feeling the same way now with similar circumstances.I have one son in college and one who just decided it's not for him.Participation on both of the audio forums I visit is down and the topics are mostly boring and rehashed... |
