Locally a pair of John Kalinowski built KCS backloaded horn speakers powered with 98dB sensitivity Fostex FE206ES-R Limited Edition 8" drivers are for sale. Is anyone familiar with this creator and what should I expect from this set? I’m more than curious and assume these would be considered boutique since they are custom or one off made...My current reference system is Monitor Audio Gold floor speakers (Ribbon Tweeter) that I find
absolutely
amazing, powered by Oulaw audio monoblocks and a Anthem AVM 60. So not quite audiophile grade but maybe a step above consumer level. I have been researching Klipsch and the horn sound probably led me to these.
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
Seeing a few discussions recently about Fritz made me curious about what other artisan speaker shops are out there.
I'll cast my vote for Louis at Omega Speakers in CT. His high efficiency full range Alnico drivers, impeccable craftsmanship and very reasonable prices make a compelling option. I've had some very nice speakers over the years but these put a smile on my face like no others could. My search is over.
No affiliation with him, here's a link to the ones he built for me the beginning of this year.
