Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
I should have " prrof " read my last post, as I see some errors, lol. 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Just an FYI. Peter Noerback, of PBN Audio, introduced recently, a " horn " hybrid loudspeaker, using JBL pro drivers. He has used all of his listening and engineering prowess, to build a cabinet and crossover, to accommodate these drivers, resulti...

I find the Heresy to be a puzzle. A slow, air suspension, 12 in. woofer, mated to a midrange and tweeter horn. But yet, it works. The Epic series, same thing, but these were bass reflex enclosures. The Heresy's were desighned by PWK, and the Epic'...

I suppose " he is " repeating himself............if I liked him, I would invite him over to listen, and, to finally, shut him up.........

John, do not waste your time anymore with Kosst. I can say, easily, Focals, are not my cup of tea. This is what makes this a fun hobby, and quite a personal and individual one. It is all about the recorded music, and what each of us wants. Once so...

My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's?
Gerry, you are naive, but I understand your love for the Mac amp. The WP7s are also something special. However, together, they are not a good match, ( the reason for your searching ). Listen to George, and : Try a high current ss amp. IMO, and, IM... 
Any deals on klipsch speakers
In what dimension do you need to save space ( width, depth ) ? 
Any deals on klipsch speakers
Owning Lascalas myself, can you give more information as to why ? 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
I am enjoying a pair of Klipsch Lascala speakers, which are my 3rd pair. These have the " AL " crossovers, which I understand, were not designed by PWK, but by another engineer at Klipsch, designed to be a more " audiophile " crossover. I have dam... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Of my many amplifiers, I own a modified Citation 12, putting out a real 1 watt of class A power ( based on a Nelson Pass design ). It drives my modified Klipsch LaScalas fairly well, sounding excellent. But, I can easily clip it, depending on the ... 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
Yogiboy recommended to you setting up the Kefs in your dedicated listening room. If you have not done that, why not give it a try. There is a current post on here, where the OP wanted speakers specifically for rock. I am from the camp that good sp...
