| What does one purchase after owning horns? Mapman, obviously any duplex or coaxial horn speaker is the exception to what you say as are single driver horn speakers. The Feastrex 5" field coil driver has great promise, but even there I don't expect that they can ever get great bass out of it. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? T_bone, while I agree with you, I find this entire pro/anti horn thing too reminiscent of subject v. objective discussions-probably best left to late in the night bar discussions. I have never understood why those not wanting to have horns feel th... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, I heard the Sunrays sound way too tuby and warms with the Bridge Audio amps at CES 2010 and then sound outstanding at CES 2011 with the same amps?? I could not find out whether the amps had been changed in that year, but I think not.My poi... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Mapman, certainly, but there are problems for all varieties of speakers. As I said, I miss the speed of horns but am happy with my Tidals. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Dave_b, I agree about the Totems and would add the Reference 3A Grand Veenas while you can still get the Murata supertweeter. But neither comes near the speed of compression driver horns. Nevertheless, I will probably not go back to horns for a th... | |

| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Sgs, I have used them on four different speakers with no difficulty. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Macrojack, one hears about high frequency hearing loss in males, but I have never seen any convincing documentation of this. I have had audiologists tell me that many have sagging frequency responses between 1000 Hz and 5000 Hz. I can just get a h... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Flashunlock, I compared the standard MPCs versus the Galileos in many applications but not the Speaker Cells. It would shock me were the Galileos not better there also. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Mtseymour, in my summer home, I used the Galileo Univ. IC Cells and the Speaker Cells all with the Basik strings. Then I came back to Texas where I had Apex speaker wires and interconnects. I listened for a while without the Cells and then put the... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I have always limited my self to talking about my experiences and making few generalizations beyond that. I think in these days of no dealers, this is as best as I can do. It is also the best reviewers can do. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Swampwalker, I have had the same experience with a piano, but I have had another live music experience. At CES many years ago when it was in Chicago, I went out to dinner at Bergoffs with a wire manufacturer, an electronic manufacturer, a reviewer... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Mapman, so why are there Audiogon discussions or threads? I think you have to appreciate that most audiophiles have no local dealer, that those having a dealer cannot expect to hear the broad variety of equipment on the market, and that you can of... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? In my opinion, no isolation foot or platform even comes close to what the StillPoints Ultra Stainless Steel feet do for isolation. I don't sell them nor have any involvement with this company and they are not cheap, but everyone I know who have tr... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Lrsky, I am primarily centering on horns with compression drivers, such as GoTo and old Altec systems. But I am talking about what I heard when I first heard horns. The were Klipsch corner horns sitting in the storage room in a dealer's shop. I sa... |
