I have been looking for some and the Tobian TS sounds pretty good, I think “Horns” from Germany too, Stein Music and Acapella Audio Arts
Horns with good timbre and tonality?
I’m looking into buying a pair of horns for my next speaker. I sold my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE. Looking for a more realistic, more lively sound. I’ve heard the Triangle Magellan and enjoyed the sound, but wonder if there is better.
I appreciate speed and dynamics with good timbre and tonality. I know horns are good with speed and dynamics, but not sure if they can do timbre and tonality like SF can.
Looking at German Blumenhofer FS1 / FS2, French Triangle magellan, Fleetwood deville, Avantgarde.
It will be paired with Mastersound 845 Evolution SET or Auris Fortissimo amp.
Room size 40 x 15 x 8 feet
Must realistically play Solo Piano, Cello and full scale symphony.

@ei001h wrote: "Do you think they can reproduce dynamics ?" Absolutely. And @audiokinesis is correct. Timbre is very difficult to reproduce properly. Martin Logan Renaissance ESL 15A do this very, very well. But don't take my word for it, go have a listen to them. There must be at least one ML dealer around you. |
I also suggest you try the Volti Audio Rivals w/ your set up. I owned & enjoyed Avantgardes ( first Unos & then Duos) w/ Art Audio amps for several years & they’re very good in many ways although quite directional, didn't image that well & tricky to integrate their own powered subs. The Rivals are overall more enjoyable & sound more like live music to me . They’re easy to set up& get sounding very good, not crazy big or crazy expensive. They can easily fill a big room w/ not that many good watts. Worth a listen. |
Thanks for your insights and pointing to actual mechanisms that to you are vital to achieve a more natural timbre. (addressed by you to the OP)
I'm certainly all ears for an elaboration here. |
