Well, I'll just stick my toes in to make a few simple observations:(1) We heartily welcome other worthy competitors to the field (which would of course include Beauhorn)
(2) Competition is a good thing, as it keeps the participants ever straining forward
(3) Other "horn" speakers that make a significant impact serve to build the overall impression that horn speakers - in general - should be taken seriously. And that's a good thing, as well.
(4) There's enough business to go around. If not, then did we all really plan on selling to the same few hornguys?
(5) So, while I could quote and link to various Avantgarde users, listeners who've been here, and so-called "experts" and/or reviewers, it's of no real value to go there. Ultimately, what THEY say proves nothing (and I say this with not a few great comments to our credit these days).
(6) What counts is how the speaker reaches each of us on a personal, emotional level, by letting the composer/performer's intent speak to us. And any good horn speaker simply communicates more deeply (hope I can say this in the high efficiency forum) than the low-efficiency "high-end" speakers we all know (and which I used to sell before I got converted).
(7) Congratulations to Beauhorn! My hat is off to you. May you continue to enjoy great success...
