To horn or not to horn

Klipsch won’t do it, and I speak from experience.

The FR is 93db
Made a world of difference.
1 FR 6.5 vs Seas Dual 6.5's + the world fmore Millennium tweet, Yet the FR 6/5 did more than hold its own, it far surpassed the Thors.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't listen to my previous post.
I was completely wrong. The Diatone chinese 6.5 FR was a  disaster.
Completely worthless. Oh sure it does do things the Seas Millennium can ' not accomplish. 
But the Diatone off Ebay really stinks. 

Sloppy bass, highly distorted midfs, completely rolled off highs.
This Magnovox horn from 1963 , blows away any dome tweet, Any/all, every last one.
Horns RULE!

mozartfan,

Do you read what your write? If so, does this make sense to you? If you have anything to contribute please present your information in such a way as to not render it meaningless as it floats off your keyboard. Reading your posts makes me very uncomfortable as does the thought of you doing day to day (normal) things like driving. 

audition_audio,
That's nothing new with him. Don't let it bother you.

@Mozartfan ---you found my horn thread from the past and quoted me above.  In my quest for speakers I listened to Maggies, Wilson Sonus Faber, Eggleston, Stenheim, Rockport, Focal, Meridien, Joseph Audio, Vivid, Vandersteen, Evolution Acoustic, Tekton, and YG Acoustic before deciding on a horn.  I  owned Wilson Audio Duette 2's and Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  I will take my 98db Viking Acoustic Dual Horn speakers over any of them.

Prior to deciding on the GV's, I considered, hORN Universum ( my second choice), JBL, Deja Vu, Aer, Charney, AvanteGarde, BD Design, PureAudioProject and Cessaro.  

My system is totally tube driven with Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B mono amps, C1800 Pre-amp and a Lampi Pacific DAC.  I could not be happier with my sound and it will get even better when my Lucas Audio LMDS music server arrives.  Unless I upgrade ( and I don't see a need to) in the Viking speaker line-up, I will be happy for the rest of my life with my Horn Speakers.  An added bonus is that my wife loves the way they look!!!!!
