Why not horns?
Hey everyone, MrD again. This thread intrigues me so much, because I really love my set up. Yes, I own horns. I have spent many years buying and selling, trying this and trying that, listening to this and listening to that. From these experiences,... 
Why not horns?
This is why I do not spend a lot of time with forums...We are a unique crowd, with so much passion and opinion. We need to all get along. We are all after the same thing. We are all looking for our own interpretation of what the musical truth is. ... 
Why not horns?
Being an audiophile is fine. Being a "music listener"...well..... 
Why not horns?
Sebrof...by saying you might go back to non horns tells me that something is not right. Klipschorns work in a corner for bass output and extension, but I prefer non corner placed speakers, saying I like the Lascala over the Klipschorn. IMHO. Thank... 
Why not horns?
Mapman, to answer the last part of your question. The resultant sound is to my ears musically perfect. The Lascala was designed to to be listened to from very very far away. I listen about 14 feet away, which at the volume levels I like to listen,... 
Why not horns?
Mapman, it took me a few years to minimize the box resonance from the boxes. Simply, I used test tones with a microphone/spl meter, my feel of the box and my ears, as well as a wide range of music to come up with my mods. I originally started with...

subwoofer cable recommendations.
As recommended by Mapleshade, I am running my subs using the speaker in terminals(for those subs which have them) from the speaker outs of power amp, with excellent results. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Tbg, I believe Jadis of France is still in business, but I do not know the current US importer, if there is one. As far as obtaining a pair, the last price I remember was around $45000. Not that anyone would ever part with them. Not that I could e... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
In 1996 or there abouts I had the opportunity to listen to the Jadis Eurythmie II speakers at the Stereophile show at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Even under the poor conditions of the show, I was astounded with their effortless and dynamic pr... 
Jadis Eurythmie - Anyone ever listen to them?
This is my 1st post. I am great friends with the no longer Northstar Leading the Way folks who imported Jadis for years. I had worked for them in N.Y. during a Stereophile show at the Waldorf. The Eurythmies were set up with all top end Jadis gear...
