The advantage of extremely efficient speakers is that it allows you to use SET amps. I've had Avantgarde Duos for a long time, not necessarily recommending them-- they require supplemental woofers and in my experience, a change in front end- but I've been using Lamm ML2s for a long time and those amps are musical as hell. I would suggest that you consider both the speaker and amplifier because the relationship is critical. I moved from some highly regarded cartridges-- Lyras and Airtights, and it was only changing to the Koetsu stone bodies that made a real difference-- particularly in the bass region. I now have fully dimensional bass, but added subwoofers and DSP'd them to get the lower regions to accomplish what the mid-high frequency spectrum was capable of.
Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair.
My system consists of the following:
- Focal 938 loudspeaker
- Bryston $B3 cubed power amplifier
- Rogue Audio RP-1 preamp
- Weiss DAC 204 DAC with Modwright Power supply
- Lumin U2-mini with S Booster power supply
- Seeking horn loud speaker that sounds rich, full bodied and dynamic at 50-55 decibel levels.
- Thanks.

Volti Lucera owner here, formerly a Klipsch Heritage guy. I love my Luceras, and no way are they grainy, or lacking in the low end. It was a pleasure dealing wth Greg Roberts at Volti. I got to select the veneer (Paduak), and he got them done and shipped to my door in about 2 months. They are gorgeous and floor me every time I experience them. Highly recommended! |
Greg is a heck of a guy. Obviously puts his all into his product. Additionally he’s great at answering questions, making sure you the consumer are fully satisfied. I never felt any pressure from him and I spent a full day with he and his wife. The experience was more like finding a kindred spirit and hanging out with an easy friend while being immersed in some sweet HiFi. |
@kckrs FYI, the Klipsch Jubilee system operates as a vented box below 100Hz. ''PATENTED HORN-LOADED VENTED SYSTEM The patented low frequency enclosure of the Klipsch Jubilee is designed to provide magnificent presence, by leveraging the efficiencies of both horn-loaded and vented systems. The typical vented system already increases the efficiency and sensitivity for extended low frequency performance. Horn-loading this system allows the Klipsch Jubilee to be a staggering 10 to 20 times more efficient than a conventional loudspeaker. This results in unrivaled low frequency performance, maximizing output while minimizing distortion, for dynamic and clean bass.'' See here Mike |
