Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
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...

Did not know that. RIP R.Shahinian.  
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Let me just say this. In my world ( as I assume others as well ), the goal of an audio system, is to, as faithfully as possible, recreate the live musical event. Virtues I listen for are ( not necessarily in specific order, but important ) : Top t...

Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Kosst..........this is from your 1st post . " My system at home portrays a comparable sound to what I heard. Generally I feel that the dynamics of events like that are less than what people want to be hearing on a home stereo. I'm not sure 130 dB ...

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...

What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?
In my experience, I have found, listeners who primarily listen to rock, tend to " turn it up ", more so than other listeners. Whether better or not, a pair of large Cerwin Vegas ( the better ones ), will play louder, with less compression, than a ...
