| What does one purchase after owning horns? MrD. - It is my plan to have the words "never set foot in Florida" included in any eulogy I may inspire. Thanks for the invite nonetheless.Concerning PWK, just stay happy. Those who have delved deeply into horns and their behavior feel that Klipsc... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Mrdecibel - In the late 80s I was a salesman at a Klipsch dealership in Boulder, Colorado. My comment was made with full awareness of the models you mention. The Volti appears to be a far more refined and better realized revision of PWK's best eff... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Dale - Your speakers look very interesting. It's got to be true that a full blown, hand made, 3 way horn system for less than $8000 is a first.I intend to give this option a lot of thought. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? I think it was audio magazine years ago that provided a watts per pound per dollar assessment of amplifiers. It was all tongue in cheek but I bet it would support your conclusions. Are the best guitars the heaviest as well? | |
| Why not horns? Bose in a swimming pool room sounds appropriate as they are designed to echo off the walls. However, I can't begin to imagine how they would ever approximate the sound of any horn, good or bad.Hifisoundguy seems to be a shill, and a very poor one ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Most everyone involved came on board when the ground was fertile and the crops couldn't fail. Now that there is a shrinking market and an inexplicably expanding manufacturing base, times are getting very tight. If audio had been more welcoming and... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Larry - Those guys continually invade church services and harass the faithful about their beliefs, all the while calling them zealots. If they are of a different faith, let them stay at home and worship as they see fit. Do a search of horns and yo... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? Mrmitch - We take excellent care of our billionaire veterans. The small people are on their own. When the Repubs were threatening to shut down our government, I read a letter to the editor from a soldier in Iraq. He said that those who were statio... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Not all horn speakers are the same. Some are better than others. I have not heard all of them. If I had, I could offer one person's opinion, only one person's opinion. Some of you seem to feel that you are speaking on behalf of many people when yo... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I have tweeters in my B&C DCX 50 coax drivers but I have never hooked them up to an amp. If anything is missing, I don't miss it. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? This tweeter discussion is largely atopical since half of us can't hear beyond 10 Khz. The mid range is where our discussion should be centered because that is where most of our material comes from. In my experience, nothing else produces quite th... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Pointless indeed, Drubin. It basically just comes down to asking which religion is best. World news reports are a good indicator of what sort of answers that discussion can yield. Around here you can be crucified for disparaging tubes or liking ho... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Duke - As far as I can tell, "conical horn" is the nicest thing Bill can say about a system. He says the AH300 is the best he knows how to make. Apparently he sees your "waveguides" in a similar light. That should make your head swell a bit. I tri... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Duke - I started out with the JBL woofers that were native to my L-200 which are the LE15B. Bill suggested that I would get better efficiency and a lower XO point by switching to the RCF L15P530 drivers. These, by the way, were a nightmare to loca... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? This thread seems to prove, above all else, that there is no such thing as "the typical audiophile". |
