the jadis is a great amp(a classic in fact)...but just switching to a horn loaded design isn't(in of itself) going to make 'magic', which the dali will with a well matched power amp.....working from the speakers backwards(whatever the speakers may be)is the best way to get the sound you're looking for. experiment before ditching the helicons.....room placement, etc
Best horn speaker under $1000 for Jadis
I am considering another set of speakers to add to my Jadis Orchestra Reference. I would like to find a nice, used pair of horn speakers that I can find for under $1k.
I have about 45 watts out and have been listening through a pair of Dali Helicon 800's. I recently hooked my McIntosh MC300 back up to my system, and I noticed that the extra power brought out a lot much punch than the Jadis does. I am hoping that horn speakers might deliver something new that will cause me to change from the Dali's.
Any recommendations on speakers or even strategy on going from Dali's to horn speakers would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to possibly trade or in any case, not outlay more than a thousand bucks in the process.
Thanks - Matt
