In Reply to: RE: ODEON No. 26 Horn Speakers posted by thetubeguy1954 on December 14, 2015 at 15:51:06
Geez, you could probably commission similar BLH dreck in US for way less money than Odeon and their cheap drivers. Morricab resides in EU. It's just a different perspective and different room acoustics. Now, you all are going to drop everything and run to buy another recommended speaker? How it is even possible that people who are 30 years in the hobby learn nothing and are susceptible to the same simple stimuli?
Don't get me wrong , I highly regard Mori , more than 80% posting here combined but have some reason folks...

I agree, I just give my opinion and you should definitely hear before you jump in. FWIW, I highly regard your posts too.
The drivers might not be really expensive but they are still quite good ones (The Audax aerogel drivers are very good midrange drivers, for example). I am not sure what they are using for a compression tweeter. The bass driver I am also not sure of...might be Beyma...
I have heard other companies really expensive horns and some are amazing and some are not, even with VERY expensive drivers, and it seems that execution is especially vital with horn systems. The Odeon guy seems to get pretty amazing sound from those inexpensive drivers...maybe the horns from solid wood are really good. The prices are also not as steep as some other horns (not cheap though for the bigger models).
The resolution I hear from my La Bohemes is as good as anything I have heard from Altec, JBL, TAD etc. Not as good as Living Voice but at what price???
Hey Wojciech click on the link below called My System to see the nice pair of double-back-loaded horns that are anything but " dreck "! I'm presently using these incredible sounding BLH cabinets ---{ that have been modded as has the cone of the PS220-8 driver installed in them }--- along with some fairly high-end audio gear. For example: I use an Italian, 135lb, 40W/ch, $14.5K Mastersound Reference 845, integrated, SET amp, an Italian, $6K, GoldeNote, Stibbert CDP ---{ used as a transport }--- and an Audio-gd, Reference 7.1 DAC from Hong Kong. I don't know about you, but I'd call that fairly high-end audio gear considering their outstanding sonic quality and cost. I cannot believe that you honestly believe I'd be using speakers that are sonic " dreck " with this quality of audio gear, but perhaps you do which would amaze me. I'd like to inform you at the time I had the Sachikos custom built for me, I could have purchased whatever speakers I wanted up to about $10K. So I'm here to tell you I heard sonic qualities in the Sachiko / PS220-8 / T900a combination that really got my juices flowing. But if you care to know what those traits are you can read about them below the photo I included at the link below. Oh yeah, this is all setup in a dedicated audio room too! I'll let you know I've wanted to audition the larger ODEON speakers for quite some time, but was spurred on a bit by Brad's post.Oh yes I'd love to know what speakers and audio gear you're using, since you consider my Sachikos to be " dreck "...
