roxy54 never mentioned rare or costly you did. I can put something together that’s better than most audiophile horn offering for about 2000. And of coarse system end goals are what matters I want a great sounding horn good is pretty easy to find most any horn is good.

But sadly with horns, the audiophile market isn’t offering many worthy of purchase unless you want a hybrid horn and honestly if I had to go that route I would buy a conventional dynamicinteresting. What are the problems with Hybrid system like JBL 4429/4430/4367. what are the advantage a full ragne horn system? |
I’d be looking at vintage Altec over Klipsch. I’ve owned all of them and the best are the 500 cycle horn (511) systems like the Heathkit designed Legato and Altec Laguna or A-7 ( Magnificent) Maybe harder to source than Klipsch. Better yet, get the parts and build your own mock up to suit you and your room. Research the different LF systems. 2-15’s sealed, 1 15 in A-7 horn, Onken. Not as hard as you’d think. |
I listened to these yesterday at Listen UP Denver:https://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/en/products/duo-series/duo-xd.htmlThey list for $45k, they were offered to me by Scott Gennaw at $30k. They have been on the showroom floor for about year so I don't know if they are the very latest model. Impressive, but not for me. Tell Scott that Cliff sent you. |
