| Why not horns? Jonk - Which Altec models are in the ~$2K range that sound as good or better than say the KHorns?I've heard Altecs only twice. Once highly modified (Altec drivers in another box) in someone's home, they sounded excellent. First time I heard horns ... | |
| Why not horns? Interesting that soccer should come up in this thread, because like soccer Horns or planers, stats, etc. are a matter of taste. Trying to convince someone who does not like horns that they should like horns is like trying to convince someone who d... | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? >>Simply_q: "Because I'm a human being. And like all other human beings, I'm just as susceptible to perceiving differences even when none exist in any actual physical sense."Yup, pretty well documented that the human mind is real good at tri... | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? I don't know how some of you guys sleep at night knowing full well that statistically 50% of your resistors were installed backwards at the factory. | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? "It always amazes me that people will not just try changing the direction and seeing if it makes a difference."It always amazes me that people are amazed that other people won't try every little trick they read on the internet. | |
| Why not horns? I've had KHorns for a little over a year. I have them in a dedicated 12' x 13' room, and I think they do well in this size room. Bigger room would certainly be better for them, but smaller speakers have not done better in this room.Mapman - They e... | |
| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? If he does not play them loud, which was what he said in his first post, room size becomes a much smaller issue. Possibly a non-issue. I have KHorns in a 12' x 13' room. When I play at moderate volume the room is not a problem at all. When I play ... | |
| Why not horns? too large footprint - My Klipschorns take up less room than that behind most speakers. Gotta love that!Poor bass - I gettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttSorry about that, as I was typing I got hit in the gut with a bass vibe. What were we talking ... | |
| Why not horns? Mrd.,Great post. I feel the same about my Klipschorns as you do about your LaScalas. At the pricepoint these sell for used ($2K) it's hard to beat them. They simply offer things that other designs I've heard and owned do not.I haven't tweaked mine... | |

| small room... tube amp... summer That's one of the reasons why I switched to Hi Effeciency speakers and single ended amps. | |
| Sonist Hello - I heard them at the Lone Star Audio Fest a few weekends ago. I was very impressed and thought that that room was among the best sound at the show. Very modest system with a Cary CDP ($?), a Glow 5-watt amp @ $700 or so and the Concertos @ ... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp I'll 3rd the Sonist Concerto 3s. I heard them at a show recently powered by a 5-watter and they sounded very nice. Better than some much more expensive speakers at that show. If I were in the market for speakers those are the ones I would buy.Rand... | |
| Why not horns? I'll chime in regarding Klipschorns.I had never heard nor seen a pair but decided to look to buy after becoming somewhat bored with my system over the past several years. I had Martin Logans and before that a couple of models of Maggies, Paradigms... | |
| Looking to buy a complete 2 chanel system One thing I've learned over the years of enjoying this hobby is that people have different tastes. From your post it looks like you haven't figured out what you might like. I'm with Cmalak when he suggests that you listen to some systems to get an... |
