First off, I wish your wife a speedy recovery.
Beautiful Oris 200’s! What full range driver are you using in the horn and what amp are you using to drive the BD15 bass bins? Active or passive x-over to the bass amps?
Thanks and good listening!
Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!!
Hi All... Yesterday I received my Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B. My wife and I spent the evening last night listening and "we" really like it which surprised me since over the years I have compared numerous amps to my trusty Coincident 300B monoblocks and all have... until now... come up substantially short of the Coincidents. Now this puts me in a difficult position as my wife has had quite a lot of medical testing lately and with the associated financial pressures, I had intended to take a quick listen to the PSE 300B to satisfy mu curiosity then pass along and recover the costs to address the medical bills. Now, clearly that is not going to happen and the Coincidents will be listed for sale over the weekend.
By the way thanks Dennis, You Da Man!

@woodsage Actually these are the BD-Design Orphean-220 horns utilizing the new Celestion AXi-2050 driver. The amplifier for the BD-Design compact reference base enclosures is a Crown XLS-1500. Both amplifiers utilize minidsp as the xover. I do have in addition a pair of Oris-150 horns utilizing the Voxativ AC-2.6 8" full range driver. I have used Lowther and AER in the past and found that the Voxativ to be superior in my listening room. I am happy to sell the Oris system if anyone is interested as well as the Coincident Frankenstein 300B monoblocks that are the perfect match for these speakers. |
Hope your wife has a full and speedy recovery. I've been intrigued by Mr. Had's handiwork, but current gear needs a couple hundred more watts. Plus I'm in tube recovery, two years clean. My last tube setup was Mr. Had's design. An AE-25 DJH and matching pre-amp. I probably should have kept it...I also sold the big Klipsch speakers they drove. |
