DUNLAVY SC-VI
What do you mean by a room build? 
Why not horns?
Macrojack, I thought I explained what "wavefrom fidelity" was in a previous post. I'm happy horn fans are addressing it, I'm not sure that it has been resolved to my satisfaction. The very concept of a horn suggests to me a distortion creator. I'm... 
Why not horns?
Atmasphere, until recently I didn't think that horns could possibly be capable of waveform fidelity. I am very happy to read, that it is now being addressed. Still, there are other concerns that keep me from being too optimistic. 
Review: Threshold FET Nine Preamplifier
Viridian, couldn't you just replace the caps? 
Why not horns?
Atmasphere, time and phase coherence, or as Duke refers to: "waveform fidelity". 
Why not horns?
Duke, as I have said before, it would appear to me that some people seem to be more sensitive to wave form integrity than others. Of course those people who might not be as sensitive to wave form integrity, might be more sensitive to other aspects... 
Why not horns?
I suppose if one wasn't interested in waveform integrity, then driver integration would be less of an issue. 
Why not horns?
Duke, thanks again! Interesting how much we agree! Despite expectations to the contrary I too am surprised at the sound-stage capabilities of horns. I would consider this a strength of horns. I think it important to remember that room correction c... 
Why not horns?
FWIW, I find most horns ugly, but the Avant Gardes while not my cup of tea sonically, are very cool looking. 
Why not horns?
Duke, thank you for your thoughtful response. It has been argued here that that though they might appear similar that wave guides and horns are different enough as to require them to be categorized differently. Wouldn't such a controlled radiation... 
Opinions please on a starter audiophile system?
Speakers first, then amplification. 
Why not horns?
Macrojack, horns have have historically had some of the biggest companies spending the most money trying to develop them. I don't see why you think they are capable of lower distortion. Yes, I think horns are more archaic. There's a reason there a... 
Why not horns?
I think pro-audio got the balanced standard thing right. But they sure are ruining popluar music recording. 
Thiel CS3 Without The EQ
The EQ's show up on e-bay every once in a while, figure roughly about $100-125. Even then I'd suggest you have it shipped to Thiel for an overhaul. If you were to go that route, I wouldn't let the worry of a few dollars of overpayment get in your ... 
Why not horns?
Macrojack, why would "Horns have a greater potential than any other approach."?
