Agree on planers, best in small rooms, mostly low ceilings not high and no damping behind speaker, none, no full planer for me.Hybrids now, thats something else ....... :)
As to horns, a noisy show will benefit horns, there system will not run into clipping or dynamic compression from having to maintain an higher than normal din level, funny, looking at 30 different response, very few consensus, some thought the horns were bad, LV in particular was mostly "OK" and many found box speakers ruled ..
Audio ..:)
Anything on the PS Audio room, funny , Paul's comments match what i hear with every Maggie 20.? , they always sound like that to me, I wouldnt consider one without a sub unless in a small room ..Regards

Maybe there is something to what you say but it seems to be more than that. It is a presence that is missing in most other speakers. For example, the Avantgarde + AudioPax was in a small and relatively quiet box in the downstairs exhbition hall. Since the space was small, no speaker would have had an issue with clipping there and yet the sound was unlike anything one usually gets from a normal box speaker...even with great tube amps.
I heard the Maggie + PS audio and they had a sub to reinforce the bass but it was not dialed in very well and made itself known a bit too much. In a small room that speaker will sound big and poweful but in this large room and 3-4 meters from a back wall it sounded weak.
When I had large full-range Acoustats in a smallish, untreated room the sound was huge and powerful...even with low powered amps. They went right up to the ceiling so I had a true floor to ceiling line source. There was nearly no drop in level from the speaker to the listening position.
I think those that panned LV are those that don't really love music because they focused on music that I would not call mainstream "popular" even for audiophiles.
Thoughts on Raidho...?
The overall system was impressive but not realistic sounding. The speakers I think have great potential but not driven by Class D like they were at the show. Same kind of sound I heard with Lansche, which used the great Cubus speaker but with synthetic sounding Mola mola amps.
Also thoughts on the ClearAudio in the same range ..?
