If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be?


What change would you make. I wouldn’t change anything in mines. Maybe a bigger speaker but I’m very happy. What about the rest of y’all?

@pdreher It's made by Deja Vu Audio my local dealer they usually make custom horns with vintage horns and drivers or a mix of modern and vintage. But they found some modern drivers they like and so they are doing a run of these it's either a 15 or 18 inch low excursion Italian driver, I went 15 inch with a horn loaded midrange and tweeter. They sounded amazing and were the first speaker of theirs I heard that I could remotely afford so I went for it. 

@jond I bet you are going to love them.   I wish I had discovered horn speakers earlier... their dynamics and live sound can't be matched by box speakers in my experience.

@pdreher That's been my experience also excited and hoping they work in my small room the woofer is a sealed cabinet and the bass doesn't go crazy low mid-30s. And the Japanese always seem to have huge horns jammed in tiny apartments!

@jsalerno277  I walked into a young lady's house in Buffalo sometime around 2020..., full blown house, you could crank it up to the clouds and not bother anyone..

i said, "how much?"..and she says, "80 thousand dollars!"

NYC is a .....well,. it becomes more of a psychological condition over time. Even the thought of moving a block can become very very scary.

 

 

However, living in the overpriced and overrated suburbs of NYC, with extraordinary real estate and education taxes, my listening room in my small home is the untreated living room, on a suspended floor system. If I move out of the area in retirement or otherwise hit the numbers big and stay, I would have at least have a dedicated treated trapezoidal listening room, possibly designed ground up with a solid foundation, no parallel surfaces, vaulted ceiling rising front to back, and four dedicated 20 amp lines from a separate breaker. Oh … to sleep, to sleep, per chance to dream (note I left out the die at my age).
