It has reasonably flat frequency response, and can be powered by any amp you come up with. Even a preamp might drive it. And one guy who owns an Avalon traded it in after hearing this thing. I can hardly wait to get it.I got the horn bug. When you find yourself to be a horny, nothing else will do. The hair trigger dynamics, the lack of compression, the low distortion, and in this case excellent imaging.
I am getting the BD-Design Orphean coaxial 2-way horn loaded compression drive speaker system, plus SS-powered direct radiators for the bass (the weak link).
I used to own Avalons myself, then ProAcs and my own 3-way design. Finally I got into horns and will not be looking back. I just want better horns.
But I can see why some prefer a more docile sound. I used to be like that. Horns can be docile, if you use a proper SET amp, and don't play too loud. And passive EQ for a bad FR can be constructed as well if you're a designer type guy. I do that sort of thing all the time. I make the horns work for me. It might take a little more coaxing, but it's worth it.
