Sorry for being too brief in my post.  The reason for my question on ml2/grand slam - many years back I heard the grand slamm driven by a pair of lamm amp.  I did not pay attention to the model back then but it was either the single ended ml2 or the ...

definitely a ceremony to me...  In my opinion, "practicing" high-end is an ongoing journey to achieve better sound.  Better sound is very subjective and up to a point it is lateral - we look for different sound as opposed to better sound as no choice...

Well, it is maybe one year from my initial post.  I have not pursued the horn route basically because in the past year I have not heard any horn system that sounded like the Olympian.  Given the time constraint, I did not want to pursue the DIY route...

Thanks for all your inputs.  I take Romy's words that the Olympian sound is not what customized horn systems in horn enthusiasts' room sound like.  Of course, I wanted to hear the opposite, that enthusiasts here get the sound in that ballpark, but it...
