Paul, wish you were on the East rather than west coast. Then you could hear what Romy and I have with our two systems with concert hall reproduction and judge for yourself what it adds to concert realism. Of course, half of what I have in reproduction quality is due to Romy and his help in setting up and adjusting my system. While I was already into multichannel Edgar horn systems for about 20 years, varying over the years from solid state to tube and back to solid state over and over again, it is he that got me on to the path of using Yamaha b2 and b3 amps with their vfet output transistors, which have the sonic benefits of both. Then he lent me two of his Vitavox s3 drivers and use of the tannoy reds' tweeters for the high end. Finally he convinced me to use the s3's in as wide a frequency range as possible, now from 400 to 12,000 hZ. Yesterday he came over for a listen as I was concerned about trying to obtain what he has for bass sound. Over many hours of trial and error, all I could do was muddy the bass to try to get his magic sound. Wouldn't you know it, in about an hour he had unmuddied it and gave me a bass clarity never heard before in my room. Unhappily not what he gets in his, but much better than what I had before. I'll let him describe how he accomplished this if he wishes. Of course if you are on the right coast, would be happy to have you for a visit, as I’m sure Romy would be too.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
