Hi Dan,Personally, I found your review to be very good. It should make people want to hear your system, which sounds wonderful by your description. It's too bad we have to preach to the choir around here, when we would probably all love to expose some of the guys who're still in Audiophile Prison to the powerfully emotional, vividly intense musical experience that horns provide (of course I mean most horns vs. nearly any other speaker).
You know, we keep hearing about the "coloration" of horns. IMHO, that's not the worst coloration (even should it exist occasionally). The Audio Police don't want to talk about the worst colorations (assuming they even know about them):
1) Displacement compression (changes the timbre, wouldn't even measure all that well at these operating levels)
2) Temperature-related compression (imagine holding a 75 watt light bulb, and think about the voice coil of an inefficient speaker)
3) "Dispersed" or reflected sound from wide dispersion systems that - while they may have a wonderfully neutral quality on axis - measure and sound dreadful off-axis (which some believe enhances the soundstage by reflecting a bad sound...)
Drat, didn't mean to get on the soapbox, just meant to say that we all share more than we sometimes admit here.
Anyway, congrats on your speakers. May you have years of inexpressible joy with them.
