| Horn Speaker Recommendations @willgolf --The biggest question I have now as I am about to embark on building my new house is, should I add to in wall subwoofers. Even if I don’t use them at least I have them ready. With Horns being so fast, I would need a very good subwoofer.... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) While I can sympathize with many of the aspects (i.e.: flaws) pointed out in the thorough measurement section by John Atkinson on the K-horn AK6’s, below quoted paragraph in particular is instrumental I believe in exposing a bias for non-horns tha... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if this has been suggested already, but how about being inspired by the recommendations of Jeff Day:I should mention that while you can go balls-out-crazy building exotic versions of high-performance Altec's... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @willgolf --As the OP, how I started on this adventure was because I heard the Avantgarde Uno Fino. I had never heard any horn type speaker before. That prompted my question and the wonderful learning experience from reading everyone’s post. I am ... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @thewatcher101 —Please let us know what you think of the JBL 4367’s once you’ve auditioned them. I’d certainly be very interested to learn of your impressions.. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Sorry about mcreyn and phusis having a discussion on the benefits of horn tapped subs in the middle of your thread. I just found out they're both longtime members of the Church of Latter Day Bass. A little rude but no big deal."Church of Latter D... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn --phusis,Tapped horns are awesome, make mine a DTS-10. They are indeed, but few know of this - certainly outside the Avsforum and similar-ish sites where bass performance is explored rather uninhibitedly. Tapped Horns are bandwidth limited... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn --...There is something magical that happens when you have that free dynamic headroom. Most home subs suffer from dynamic compression and distortion when turned up. It starts in the 90db range below 30hz for nearly all subs, until you star... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @georgesallit325 --If anyone is interested I have just finished reviewing the Klipsch La Scala AL5s (the new ones) at: https://hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/134937-klipsch-la-scala-al5/A UK view. Well-written, and very positive review of the La Scala... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations (by @johnk )The best horn systems are not the ones you find at audio dealers research horns consider a bit of DIY combinations of the best of vintage and modern are the best performing options. I find there’s merit to this statement. The industry ... | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers Anyone here using horns with a 2in drivers setup?10 year old revived thread - hardly relevant as is? Oh, well..If by "2in drivers" is meant the exit diameter, then yes: the B&C DCM50 midrange compression driver in my main speakers sports a 2" ... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @facten --(" once owned the smaller sibling model, the Mummy ")Can you provide some insights about the Mummy’s sound ,etc and what you drove them with?Sorry for the late reply. I drove the Mummy’s with my current gear, a Belles SA-30 class-A power... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @acresverde --OP should realize that he is definitely going to have to settle for a hybrid horn speaker in his price range. A full range horn by the very nature of its size and price is not likely doable for him. Also, some of the brands thrown ar... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @willgolf --Has anyone from around the world heard the Horn Universum 3 way that are made in Poland? There are none in North America. I've heard a previous iteration of the hORNS Universum (and once owned the smaller sibling model, the Mummy), a... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations If horns hit my spot and I had your budget I’d get some Klipsch La Scala and look into a couple of real nice subs for them. Horn subs if possible. My thoughts exactly. For a perhaps more rounded/coherent and even more effortless presentation (thro... |
