RE: Am I crazy?

I am not even that "sophisticated", although I am in the very early stages of a horn project.
(I am adverse to the notion of speakers that require a lot of power, price aside, it is prohibitive to build a high powered amp that resembles the performance of a relatively simple "low" wattage tube amp.)

My preference is for larger dynamic drivers with paper surrounds and powerful motors that move very little.
My current speakers appear motionless.

Admittedly these have their own issues, specifically they can be difficult logistically to coax the bass out of them, but it can be done with some particular models.

It will be difficult for myself to surpass the speakers I have at the moment, especially given the "point source sound". My journey has ended for the time being and I am thrilled. (Linked below)

Really the only practical direction I can go now is full horns, I will mimic the Macondo a la Roman Bessnow.

Enjoy your audition.
