In the Thread: The most interesting horn ideas to me so far
Post Subject: All I know is that I don't want to spend THAT muchPosted by SearcherOfBetterSound on: 5/5/2007
I mean, even if I was extremely rich, there's sort of a "point" of return or guilt or something, like worrying perhaps TOO much on other aspects to compliment them. I wouldn't buy Cessaros even if I was rich...for some reasons. I'm not sure what the price points of the models were, but I remember you all said their top end was in the $100,000 range. Now, if I got that, I'd feel stupid even if it was like the best thing ever...that's like over 6,500 ALBUMS, over 4,000 hours of music (or about half a year) I could've gotten..and I bet you could get just as good sounding or better speakers for way less than half the price of that thing, custom if need be (most likely), whatever, but there's still that "point".
I did go a bit off topic there with talking about products I might want or like, but the point on horns was to say I was more interested in sort of different-than-usual designs (at the least the high-end ones), not the usual Avant-garde or Acapella. I'm also saying in a way that I'm sort of tired of those two companies and their flowery designs and expensiveness taking up too much of the popularity in the market. I'm not saying they're bad, they're what keep the high-end horn market alive, but I KNOW there's more to high-end horns than just them..the market just needs more of this "more" and have stuff that's popular enough for people to start thinking more about stuff than just Avant-garde or Acapella. I think a good amount of high-end searching horn people become exposed to them at first, and then if they are destined enough or whatever, "move" on to something else--this is what I'm talking about and trying to convince people here to consider.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
