| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Hey Wolf, I'm glad you're enjoying the Heresys..... I've had mine about three weeks too and they sound great.... I agree , these are great speakers , especially for the money... their strengths far outweigh any shortcomings they may have. Enjo... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? $22,000 base... $7000 for real wood veneer? 10k for better vox driver? $40K ? Out of reach for most of us ...... | |
