The Best System In The World

I agree that Albertporter, Mikelavigne, Jtinn, Jcbtubes and many more have incredible systems. I bet each one of these gentlemen would agree that an enjoyable system, one that makes YOU happy need not be of the standard of these fortunate members. I have heard moderate systems that put shame to systems that cost $1000s more. i think those that i have mentioned would agree. None of these simple, cost effective systems will do what an Albertporter system can do. But i would bet that these very experienced, knowledgable mentioned members would agree that little money, along with a bit of help, compatability of gear with the right speaker, room considerations, can come close to the transparency, dynamics, and tonality that these great systems offer. Close. Not comparable to these SOTA systems, but can give you some of the attributes on a smaller scale that some of these incredible systems offer. Not many if any will walk away feeling they have reached the level of an Albertporter system. But with care, help, a good room, proper setup, you may find as much enjoyment as the members mentioned. Just don't make a habbit of visiting these guy's system on a regular basis. Good sound is not that far from great sound as long as we are not talking full range, huge filling rooms. Take heart you music loving guy's and women who have more important responsibilities. There are some great systems at great values.

That Number 1 system was downright scary! An 8-way horn system, using digital source and SS electronics. Yikes!

Twl,
Did you suspect the Tact Room correction system was to overcome some system shortcomings? Either way this thing is a dream on steroids.

Yes, I do suspect it was an attempt to do just that. All I can say is that I applaud his effort and commitment. Perhaps his goals are different than mine.

Yes, they might look impressive. But what about the sound quality?

Funny that there is not a single comment on sound quality from an outsider regarding the sound quality of any particular system but only a few short comments from the original owner only.

The No. 1 8 ways horns system might looks impressive. Based on my experience with multi-ways horn system, electronic x-over and SET amps. This 8 ways horns system with digital source/Solid State electronics will be a total disaster.

This is an expensive PA system that might be good for home theatre only.

Even a simple 2 ways horn speakers with electronic x-over will take you years to tune it right only if you are talented....a 3 ways system will take even longer time....

An 8 ways horn system will take a life time to make it works !!!! And with so many different amps. - impossible !!!

As far as I concern, the NO. 1 system is the best example of showing what one is not suppose to do!
