Speakers for vocalists

Another vote for products sporting a FR driver (or "wide range" to be more precise). One driver will cover the voice range; nothing worse than an iffy xover right in the middle of the tenor's ocal range...
An unusual product that might tickle yr fancy for ~1,5k is the Bastanis Prometheus (for more info check out a sponsored forum @ AA).
That would be far cheaper than a Lowther+300B (this is a suberb combo, BTW)

Gregm...Did you know that the human voice has several vocal cords? In other words, not a full range driver :-)

Avantgarde Horns and tube amps. I have AG Duos driven by my tube amps (Verdier Control B preamp and valve psu and Quad IIs) and a vinyl front end (Platine Verdier, Schroeder model 2, Allaerts MC1B). Vocalists really ARE in the room with you. Listen to a well set up pair of AG horns and you'll be stunned by the vocals.

Another vote for FR drivers/non-crossover speakers.

El -- good point! Problem, as always, is determining the right x-over frequency from one cord to the other. Indeed, recent studies have shown that these differ from one human to another -- hence making the choice of spkrs x-over frequencies a very personal matter... Cheers
