In Reply to: Save BIG $$$ on Beauhorn Virtuoso Ref... sort of. posted by Steven R. Rochlin on November 10, 2000 at 05:01:26:
Yeah, sort of, indeed.Ever heard the expession 'you get what you pay for'? There's great satisfaction in building your own kit speakers, sure enough, and if that's what you're after, that's fine.But don't expect them to sound anything like the Beauhorn Virtuosos - they won't, you should know that.
OK, I would say that, wouldn't I? But don't take my word for it, read Thorsten: "On measured performance this whole system [based on the Virtuosos], WHEN SET UP CORRECTLY and when measured in normal listening conditions sets extremely high standards. In all conventional disciplines (frequency response, phase response, load compatibility this system matches or exceeds anything I ever encountered and when it comes to low distortion and compresion I have yet to encounter better. This is most definitely absolute reference grade performance."
Seriously, are you saying DIY kits measure up to this? Surely, you're joking? I don't think it's a good idea to mislead people so wildly.
