Re: Hedlund,compare to Faircurve 2

I spent an afternoon listening to the Faircurves at Dave
Clark's (the DC in DC Audio) place last December. His demo
version was using the PM7C and was driven by an modified
(don't know how) SCA35. The sound was extremely good, and
I was able to hear the promise of a Lowther based system, but..
I'm not sure that the combination was able to extract the best
out of the cabinets. The highs were down in level with the
knee being fairly early, more so than I expected considering
everything I read about Lowther highs. This might be driver
related, maybe the difference between the PM7Cs and the PM2As?
The palpable uniqueness of a single ended signal was missing,
but I attribute that to the pp amp. The cabinets themselves
were gorgeous, and if I wanted to drop $5K on cabs, these would
be my first choice, assuming my wife would let me :)

My positive exposure to the Faircurves waw the push I needed to
buy the Welborne Moondog/Medallion kit. Someday I'll give the
Hedlunds a shot. They at least have a smaller footprint than the
Faircurves and would integrate into my living room easier. The Faircurves are big the bottom!

Take a look at the Autumn 99 issue of Listener Magazine. Art Dudley
reviewed the Faircurves quite favorably.
