In Reply to: Demo of Horn Shoppe speakers and/or Madisound BK-16 speakers posted by jelx on September 26, 2009 at 15:37:17:
The two named speakers are quite different in many respects - IINM, the Full Monty Madisound BK16 kit includes a T90 horn tweeter, and sells for almost twice the price of the Hornshoppe FE126E horns.
Depending on your listening habits, the SEX amp might be borderline for party SP levels in a huge room, but certainly more than adequate for average relaxed listening.
I've heard an older pair with the FE108Sigma on Paramour I, and a current pair with FE126E on both a DIY EL84 P/P (5watts class A triode), and Vaughn Audio Carina - a gorgeous sounding EL84 SE, but not quite enough power for the Horn's owner in triode mode.
You could always post an query at Ed's manufacturer's forum for someone close to your location - there are many hundreds of pairs of Horns out there - chances are someone with driving distance from you.
