truth is i took a risk.i bought the s2s on ebay,and have never heard them.i was motivated to experiment and explore the core of the mac/melq system.i have owned many horns and heard many more. one case in point;avantgarde duo,i have heard this speaker in some setups sound very dissapointing(most of the time)however one time i heard them it was the best sound at the show.most reasonably well engineered horns are very revealing of what they are fed.all drivers have pros and cons.it will always be this way.the challenge is optimize the system.horns are very challenging.i doubt i will pull off s2 optimization with ease.i am willing to persevere if romey and others are willing to help and share.in the process i might discover some things that will be of benefit to others.worst case i sell them off.but i do take note of your comments and romeys.the thing that really hit me like a 2x4 was romey saying of 12 s2 only 3 were usable in his opinion.life is a journey,tough challenges build character.ideally it would have been nice to hear romey's system before investing the $ in this particular hardware.i do have a close friend in boston who has heard romey's system.i might be able to make it to boston third week of march.up for a listening guest romey?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
