Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please


Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for owners or people who've heard the Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1. I'm considering purchasing a pair. I'm based in the UK.

My listening tastes are a bit eclectic, but I guess rock and electronica are what I predominately listen to. Room is medium size, 14' x 26 ish

I have a few concerns:
1. They will need a sub or subs.

2. I can't find any measurements, but I think I read on these forums that the horn falls off substantially at 10/11khz & that some people are using super tweeters to compensate.

Can anyone assist please?

Best regards,

Dagda

Hello One and All,

Thank you all so much for taking the time to post your experiences/advice, it really is appreciated!

I think the biggest takeaway on this is that if I don’t like them, I’ll probably be stuck with them or loose a far amount in depreciation should I want to sell them on.

The price to me is too substantial to gamble on speakers I can’t audition so I think I’ll call it a day on the Quintet 15s.

I think I need further advice on speaker choice, but I’ll start another thread for that and detail what I’m looking for.

Thank you all again for your help,

Dagda

@dagda

i believe you are thinking about this correctly, and have identified the most significant risk

it is too bad, on paper, these speakers hold a great deal of promise but the trial aspect can be costly and cumbersome

big speakers, expensive, less-than-well-established maker, home base of maker far far away -- makes it tough! 😨

PAP products are a waste of money. 

Good marketing, nice Facebook group where all new owners congratulate each other. As for the equipment heavy, big, cumbersome, bad quality, bad finish, bad sound. And once you are sufficiently frustrated You can't give them away.

Your hurling a lot of trash at Pure Audio Project. Any concrete examples of why you're saying this? Did you contact them with your concerns?.. Any response?

The fact that ’triedafew’ is a new register (September 2021) with only 2 posts...both of which are negative posts about Pure Audio Project...
That tells me everything I need to know about the guy :)
