The a7 can run with a 50k audiophile loudspeaker but I knew that already and it only gets better an a2-4 -a5 all are far better than an a7. Shearer designs even better than those. I have had jaded audio designers rethink life's work after hearing Shearer horns. One doesn't need to spend 50k if wanting great sound you can just buy an Altec or other similar vintage theater horn and lite modify it. A big difference between 1-2k and 50k you could build a dedicated audio room with a pair of modified Altec a5s for 50k.
Vintage vs Modern speakers.
Most people have wrong belief that modern speaker has more clarity and details than vintage speakers
Recently I got 50 years old Altec A7 which sounds much better than my expectation.
I had kept Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter for 16 years which is still regarded as modern speaker.
You judge ths sound of Lansche 4.1 which go down to 20 hz and Altec A7 whcih go down to only 31.5 hz but more robust bass from the following Youtube videos.
Surpising thing is that Altec A7 give as much as details as Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter.
