| 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... | |
| OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet? Wildoats, I think you are right about the Sabre chips. But several of us prefer the Crystal chips. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Lrsky, having owned the big Sound Labs and many other electrostats, I don't question that they have 'impressive' dynamics but not the speed of horns, especially compression driver horns.I should also say that all horn systems lack horn bass system... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Macrojack, what horns do you have? Be happy, in 40 plus years in audio, I have had eight different horn systems, but not now. I still love their speed and efficiency. | |
| OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet? Dob, I play many sacds, but even cds sound better in my opinion, with the Crystal chips. I have never understood why many preferred the SE or the 95. I should say that I have limited experience with unmodified 83s, 83 SEs, 93s, or 95s. I have Exem... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Macrojack, I have read nothing by Weseixas, but certainly horns can have vibration issues, as do all speaker, but of course the horns are a big radiation area. In my experience a tractrix horn sounds best. How I wish I could have horn performance ... |
