Why not horns?

I wish you could edit,

Prez, you said the outputs of the amp were parallel to double the power. It doesn't work that way. Please clarify.

Herman ,

That would be bridged for 4 times the power and not necessarily just because it is a monobloc.

What frequency are they rating the bass driver @ 1 K, 100 hz?

Wes, I know nothing about this bass driver. You need to ask Dan.

I understand what bridging an amp is. If you bridge a 75W amp you get 300 watts if the power supply can handle it, not the 150 stated by paralleling it, whatever that means. Perhaps I misunderstood what he meant, that's why I asked him to clarify.

The experience in the Cathedral room was way different than in the room with the mega gear driving those horns.

Cathedral used a modest CD player and a vintage Fisher tube amp as I recall. Some classical piano and more pop pieces (carole King) were played while I was there. The Cathedrals were very pleasant and clean sounding and easy on the ears, though volumes and dynamics were not to the max with that setup and source. They indicated they were going for more of a "vintage" type sound. I could have stayed and listened in this room for much longer than the 20 minutes or so I spent, but I still had some ground to cover before event end.

The mega gear room was tweaked to the max for phono, and the phono stage designer (Dynamic Sounds) was present. The phono rig there was most impressive, not a trace of noise on those ultra sensitive horns and a quite nice and vibrant presenation overall to boot, but that's another story for another thread. Some digital was played using an Accuphase player, but this was way less impressive in that setup.
