In Reply to: RE: Poll - What *type* of speaker ended your search? posted by Presto on May 30, 2012 at 12:03:30
First, Cerwin Vegas - Too bright and shrill, but rock your socks off
Then, Magnapan SMGA - Missed the rock your socks off
Now (and for 23+ years), ProAc Studio 3 - Good compromise, they do the audiophile thing well and can rock your socks when desired.

I have EBS and agree about dynamic capability of those speakers. Fit Hiquphon OWI replacement tweeter (special order for smaller faceplate $260 shipped) and it will transform the speaker) I can't afford the amp which would do them justice so they will have to go .

I liked Gene Cerwinski's specialty sound system for the film "Earthquake." At the time his 18" driver could produce 130dB at 30Hz. A later version found its way into Russ Allee's acoustic 360 horn loaded Bass amplifier of the late 60's. A designed wained by its incredible loudness at the end of its long wavelength in small venues.
If I'm not mistaken Gene Cerwinski is credited with developing the first solid state amplifier. I owned a Cerwin-Vega 1800A stereo amplifier and an acoustic 360. The 1800 benefited stunningly from modern parts, wire, and bypassing the gain attenuators.
