Hey everyone,
I am just wondering whether there are any other high-efficiency (horns, single driver, etc) fans around the Toronto area who would like to get together to discuss music, gear (SET amps especially!), etc., perhaps leading to the formation of some sort of high-efficiency audio club...
By high-efficiency, I generally mean around 95dB and over.
If you're interested in getting together let me know either in this thread or by PM.
Regards,
Byron
p.s. - my high-efficiency gear includes a three-way horn system using a mix of JBL drivers along with a JBL midbass cabinet and Altec horn. My nearest guess at efficiency is 110dB - running with a 1.5W SET amp, I can clean out my ears pretty quickly
Follow Ups:
I live in the Roncesvalles area by High Park. I am running a 2a3 OTL pre-amp, 300b amps and Gedlee Abbeys with subs. I would be interested in any get togethers.
My sister lives on Keele across from the park and I used to live on Glenlake west of Quebec. I know quite few people in the area with hi eff systems. It's a great area for hi eff and SET. You frequent Gate 403?
There are many hi-efficiency/SET or hi-efficiency/PP owners in the Toronto Area. I knew there is at least one pair of Tannoy Autograph, JBL Hartfield, plenty of Altec horn speakers system using Altec 515B/Altec 288 + JBL 075 or 077 with different kinds of Altec horn lens(Altec 805B/1005B/1505B or even the gigantic Altec 1803B) using passive or active x-over. I believed the group might be over a hundred or even more. There are also a number of Lowther users and Tannoy users too.
Would love to touch base with some of these guys. Would love to get to hear some Altecs and such.
I have a pair of Tannoy Arundel (15") currently running. I have a pair of Geddes Abbey kits near completion. I have an onslaught of various horn projects in the works.

Might want to check out Bentwood Horns (no affiliation & never hear their stuff but I think they are located in Kitchener/Waterloo, & think they have a web page as well). I'm in Guelph and would like to hear what others have in terms of Hi-efficiency as well.
Cheers

I am in the Annex. I am still putting my system together, so its not up and running, but I'd love to hear what others have assembled.
