| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? Use a 32 w Line Magnetic 211IA on my 2CE signatures with very satisfactory results. They even thrive on 12 w Triode. No Difference between that and my Consonance Cyber 800 mono blocks @ 78 w, toss a coin.These speakers do not need gobs of power, ... | |
| I am sick of Adele Terrible Diction, her music is far to self absorbed, and she Honks. not my cup of tea. She is no Ella by a long chalk. | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Second Line Magnetic, great amps, ultra reliable built like a German Tank not a Russian one, with a great sound, at a great price..Also Opera Consonance, real class sound, excellent reliability, and beyond reproach build quality. | |

| How old are your speakers Klipsch KG4's bought new in 85. You will have to pry them out my cold dead hands; they have been rarely hammered plenty party's - many cops, and have performed faultlessly all these years. |
