Compare the Stax F-81s to K-horns

Posted by plantsman on July 21, 2012 at 03:39:34:
Finding a pair of F-81s in good nick probably isn't easy these days but the very low sensitivity (70-some dB?) F-81s walk all over 105 dB K-horns when it comes to resolution. The K-horns will certainly play much louder and do macro dynamics better but with far more coloration and less resolution than the Stax speakers.
