joejoe,
The post was clearly a parody of the notion that there actually is a "journey ending speaker".

Journey ending speakers
analogluvr, " All these so-called advances in materials are mostly bunk. A good old paper driver is still king for musicality." What you forgot to add is, "For me..." I just can't understand why some people, and they are mostly analog lovers, think that they have "the best" and everyone should like what they like. It just doesn't work that way. I bought a pair of Apogee Slant 6s years ago and I have been partial to ribbons and electrostatics ever since. |
I will second Jond's recommendation of the DejaVu Audio custom speakers. I recently bought a pair using a YL Acoustic midrange horn and compression driver, and they sound very nice in my opinion. However, two days ago I heard two new designs at Vu's store and I was just amazed at how good they sound. So the target is always moving forward. |

A good old paper driver is still king for musicality. You can assemble a system with eighty-year-old technology that will sound better than everything at the shows. Now I'm not disputing the fact that material advances have made better capacitors and resistors but as far as in speaker technology I'm not buying. |
Oh, I forgot to ad, that when folks say paper cones are best, I have to go back to pure science and say that they all sound differently when humidity levels change. That changes the sound greatly if you have good enough upstream gear to show them off. I won't even get into how many horn lovers I know, realize that they often butcher voices and some instruments. I'm ready for the fall out of my last statement, lol. Horns can be very exciting and fun to listen to, but to my ears, I would get fatigued and disinterested over the long haul, but again, that's just me. |
