In Reply to: RE: Over $100,00 for a pair of single-driver speakers? posted by genungo on July 26, 2015 at 05:51:58
And people rag on cable manufacturers and the like.........I know there is much more than frequency response when it comes to evaluating a speaker but I'm sorry for 100K if you're going to give a response spec it needs to be plus or minus "X" dB otherwise I think you're hiding something.

Voxativ Amppegio were extremely flat from the mid-bass right through the treble. Many multi-way speakers can't come close to the linearity of this in-room response.

I believe it, I'm not against single driver speakers in fact I like them and realize they have some advantages.
However, they're $100K give me more numbers. Again I realize the role the room plays.

Oh, I'm not an apologist for single driver speakers. Never heard, or owned, one that I liked. Just making the point that the rather one dimensional in room frequency response that Stereophile measured was very impressive. It's the dynamic range where I feel they really fall down.
That end of the market is more like religion than commerce; specs are a needless encumbrance.
from a design like this. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the claimed FR of 25 to 20K Hz, which is obviously way optimistic. Unfortunately, the pricing is even more optimistic.
On the other hand, I have heard this speaker before, and I must say it is magical in the midrange, especially male vocals.
Do you remember hearing any undesirable noises coming from the down-firing folded horns? How low would you say the bass really did go?

My Odeons are using down firing folded horns and I would say that I get down to the low 40s without a problem with them. Of course mine use a 10 inch woofer and a relatively long horn...the midbass and upper bass are particularly tuneful and with impact but very controlled.
