Msaudio, I also had all 1” Altec drivers and learned that what Altec does in those drivers it very good to sound reinforce Sarah Palin speeches during in her Midwest redneck rallies but they are hardly acceptable for serious music reproduction. Brad ...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: The 5-ways from Germany. in Horn-Loaded Speakers  38 Replies 
A somehow-related thing is "texture", and - of course - what we want is the "availability" of a range of musically relevant textures rather than textural "overlay".  The S2 and the Altec 808 had this potential, but I never heard it from the JBL 375, ...

Martinshorn , that for feedback, as I always preach: the bad result during audio show does not mean anything, only good results count. You see, there are zillion reason why during the show the sound might be horrible. The inadequacy of the people ...
