I would like to get comments on Opera Audio Consonance M15 horn speakers,I have never used horn speakers yet,my power amp is Leben CS660 (2x40 watts,uses KT66 tubes)though I am happy with my Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers,my local dealer have made a demo with M15s and I am very impressed of their performance
I thank you in advance

Ben,

I haven't heard the M15 but I like the format. You probably had to overcome a bit of normal audiophile skepticism to accept the notion of a 15" woofer operating well up into the midrange region - but as you heard, done right it can work very well.

Audiogon member Trelja is now the US distributor for Opera Consonance, and I have a great deal of respect for him. He would not have signed on with them if he didn't honestly believe in what they are doing. Hopefully he will join in, perhaps to comment on how your 40 watt tube amp would work with the M15.

Best of luck to you,

else know these speakers and comment on them

I know M-15s well, what would you like to know?

>>>>>40wpc is fine. Heard M15s driven with Cybers 211 16wpc.
It was a fine demo indeed. Match with good power cord (V-D or Granit Audio)and IC cables - like Harmonic Technology's Pro-Silway MK III interconnect cables.

Integration between front loaded tweeter and 15inch woofer is fine-tune perfectly. As you probebly know tweeter & woofer is made with a help of germans. Cabinet, crossover and assembly is done by Consonance at home (as far as I know).

M-15 are a fine speakers and deffenitally worth the asking price. If it wasn't for a limited space, I would be more then happy with them for a long time.

Few things you might want to consider are:

- quality preamp & amp.(something not too laid back and fast with excellen high frequencies extension.
- they need a room to breath.
- speakers cable...well, Zu Audio Ibis or Libtec are good choice with high sensitivity speakers. There might be other choices but I have no experience to recommed any.
