opinions on modern horn speakers

Karls,I have owned the avantgard duo 2.2 and heard some of the plastic colorations but they are slight [all speakers have colorations] ,I also have had problems with vibrations in my oris 150 trihorn but since its DIY I tuned them out for the better .I also did not like the driver integration on the avantgard or my oris horn but again DIY solved that problem by using dual horns perside and lifting the woofers up the the aqustic center of the speaker.Iam also working on a metal plastic composite horn should have no resonace problems,Thanks for your reply JK

Marko445,I have owned almost all of martin logans speakers inc ,prodigy.They where souless compared to horns also owned sound lab and maggies,same souless sound impresive on a quick listen but not a speaker for the long term listening,at least to me ,thxs for your reply

JRD ,My oris trihorn can play old rock ,punk and poor recordings .Sounds better on old tunes then any system I have owned, SET amps are very forgiving and if its good music it will be real fun to listen too .Thats one of the reasons I went horns is so I dont have to play audiophile recordings to get great musicality .Take care and happy listening

Richardmr,vons are great speakers and sensitivity is one of the best ways to get great sound .Right now Iam building a 100db speaker based on a ribbon tweeter and PHL mids and woofers .Prototype sounds great, woofers will be 100db so all will run on 1 amp.Will cost arround $2500 just for parts and build so retail would be arround $4000,So vons not so far off on the price on the DB100S after all .Have you tried a 300b set or 845 ,They would run your speaker fine [depending on room size] .And sound better in the mids than a push pull.Take care and happy listening

My horns sound great on all music no need to switch .I have a friend who wants to trade his avolon edilons for my horns thought about it but I would sell the edilon to build a new pair so...
