In the Thread: How difficult is it to achieve Vox Olympian sound
Post Subject: Direction from here...Posted by Newtohorn on: 1/8/2018
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 is what it is, and that's why Kevin can charge the amount being charged.  Of the customized horn systems I have heard (all Altec variants, with strong focus on the "originality" of drivers etc.), they are not my cup of tea.  I believe I need to listen to more systems, which is not easy, the likes of Tune Audio Anima, Horn Universum and Sadurni Staccato, and see how I feel.  If I am attracted to "horn system", perhaps I will pursue a commercial offering or even start a journey of building my own system.  If I find out that I am attracted to "Olympian", well, that is an entirely different story.
martinshorn's advices on the build is certainly valuable.  I learned of a local guy who have built his 5-way as inspired by the Olympian, although not with the exact Vitavox and exotic drivers.  I will also give him a visit to see what I will see and hear.
