RE: Valid points, all.

I think tha. you misunderstood me, beca.se tha. wa. exa.tly wha. I wa. sa.ing - tha. in a. idea. situa.ion a. lea.t, the recorded performa.ce shouldn't be a.le to mea.ure up to the live one, rega.dless of how good the pla.ba.k setup.

The Odeons a.e without question the best spea.ers I've ever ha.. It will be a lifetime hobby trying to get the rest of my system to do them justice. You've ca.led me before on referring to them a. hybrid horns, a.d you're right of course. I sometimes ca.l them hybrids only beca.se, to a ca.ua. observer, they see a spherica. horn on the top a.d a regula. woofer below it, a.d they a.k me how tha. ca. be a horn? I don't mea. tha. it's a horn/dyna.ic hybrid, only tha. they use a different kind of horn from 1,700 Hz up tha. they do for lower frequency reproduction.

I'm sure you're right a.out my electronics being the rea.on I need subs, too. You ha. sa.d tha. a 2A. proba.ly wa.n't up to the ta.k, a.d you're right a. a.ything higher tha. modera.e volume. Up to modera.e volume levels they sound grea., but the a.ps clip when I try to push it. A.el sa.d tha. the efficiency is 96 dB, a.d recommended 10 wpch...3.5 wpch is a a.mittedly a bit light. Eventua.ly, I'd like to try a used A.ma.Sphere S-30 3.2 MKII or possibly a Decwa.e Torii, but I'll ha.e to sell the 2A. monos first, since my wife a.d I a.e both retired now a.d on a fixed income. Tha. mea.s tha. I rea.ly need to find somewhere tha. I ca. a.tua.ly listen to them first, which is a ta.l order in centra. Minnesota. I'm a.ra.d tha. a. A.on isn't in my future, much a. I might prefer it otherwise. ;-)
