Big Speakers

Message for Steve:

I'm new to the forum, but I have enjoyed the sound of your mastering for quite some time. I noticed that you like big speakers vs. the little ones. I can't agree more. I've owned a pair of Klipschorns for some time now, and I must admit that your cds sound like your'e in a live performance, no matter what the sound level and no matter what room your'e in! Just wanted to let you know....thanks and keep up the great work!

I keep telling my wife that it's not how big your pen is, it's how you sign your name.

I bet these sound good:

But at $12000, not for everybody. The designer, Bruce Edgar, is going to be at the Midwest Audio Fest in Lima, Ohio, which runs 3/29 and 30. They'll have some great equipment there, including a tube amp shoot-out.

Here is another picture of some of Edgar's stuff that someone posted at the Klipsch forum:

You know it's funny how you can easily be misled by a bad experience. Years ago I was at a massive stereo show. When the Klipsh dealer cranked it, he drown out ALL the other vendors. That was quite a feat and ever since then I've shuddered when I heard the name!

Then I met this audiophile who runs a store and eventually went to his place. He had Altec horns and Klipschorns. Driven with 8 watt tube amps. Wow, impressive! Crystal clear, great definition, depth, etc. I could not believe they were EIGHT watt amps!

Now I regret passing up a pair of K horn speakers last year. Smaller ones, though. His Klipschorns were over 5 feet high!

*sigh* Will changing, upgrading, trying different things out ever end?

Probably not!

:D
