Harmonic stuctural alignment, SAP Quartettes and Beauhorn Virtuosos

Posted by jusbe on April 16, 2000 at 16:49:06:
I'm with you all the way on the subject of harmonic alignment, that coincidence of the full spectrum of an instrument's sound - and I hear what you say regarding the unattainability of the fundamentals of a 10' grand. I guess I'm saying that this unity of sound to which I refer is infinitely more musically informative than the pursuit of holographic soundstages (where you feel its possible to walk a round the performers but still not comprehend or empathise with the melodies or harmonies).
I may have the opportunity to hear the Strumenti Acustici di Precisione Quartettes hybrid horn speaker in Italy later this month (2 5" full-range drivers, tactrix horn-loaded cone tweeter, horn-loaded piezo-electric supertweeter, separate 12" paper and foam bass drivers; www.sap-highend.com). But I wonder whether its all worth while, and whether I should investigate something like the Beauhorn Virtuosos with Lowther DX4 drivers? I can't tell you how disappointed I am with the music (the sound is wonderful, if you like that super widescreen panoramavisio kind of thing - and I've realised the hard way that I actually don't care for it much) that I squeeze out of the Audio Physic Virgo 2s.
