What does one purchase after owning horns?
I suggest these "two" read the original op again, and the accompanying paragraph. Very plainly he speaks positively about horns, but not other designs he has listened to. Duh........... Bass to horn integration was what he lacked. He had dynamics ...

Like a fly that I swatted several times, but keeps returning to annoy me. Not a wasp, bee or mosquito, because they inflict pain, but just a fly, a regular household fly, just an annoyance....shoo shoo.

Dan ed. Thank you for clearing that up. I guess all of the readers of this forum (but me) knew who "they" both are, without the "other" name being mentioned. What was I thinking. Again, sorry. By the way, your system looks great. In all my years i...

AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts?
I had worked two shows in my time, one for a dealer and another for a manufacturer/importer. It was always my pleasure to accept recordings from visitors of my room, not just as good customer service, but as a bond to the individual and the music ...

Larry, the way you say your words are eloquent and precise. It is also wonderful to hear someone else speak of "individualism", "preferences" and "compromise", with out the bashing of others. Thank you again for being a GREAT Audiogon community me...

This is all so interesting. I know many people who love music as much as myself, but many of them own a Bose wave radio or something similar to that. And when music plays, they can get up and dance and enjoy it for what it is. We (Audiogon members...

Larry, if I am correct, the deluding ourselves remark was made as a generalization about all of us, not just the horn lovers, correct ? That is how I read it. Again, thank you for your words. MrD

Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?
