Deano1974 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yeah subs are popular i used to have twin SVS SB1000 with my 2 channel setup before no problem I have reserched the LSII very well and wont be disappointed [emoji4] They will sound different than the Cornwalls, really hope you like them. We would hate to steer you toward something your not happy with, but we think it's a safe bet. know nothing about this hobby in New Zealand, are subs popular ? Some people like them, some would never use them, just wondering. Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I know you're joking. Geese honk. Automobile horns honk (or beep). The horns of seals and clowns honk. As far as I can tell, speakers don't, not really. Or if they do, it is a case of inelegant onomatopoeia. Somebody latched onto this honky thing and it went viral long before there was viral, i.e., in about 1982, when a sales guy in the shadow of the TransAmerica pyramid told me that horns were honky, and when pressed into juice, told me he had never heard a horn loudspeaker. I have heard distortion from -- or through -- every kind of loudspeaker, but I never have heard anything that could be described as a honk. I like horny loudspeakers. Sometimes the truly bad ones sound harsh (the Magnavox mid/high horns in my mother's c.1970 console phonograph/TV). I'd love to hear the best configuration of the Klipsch Jubilee, based on its reputation, but I've had Klipschorns since 1982, and haven't heard them honk, even once. The very first speaker I heard described as "honky" was a non-horn. Consumer's Reports committed this travesty, while at the same time recommending a muddy sounding acoustic suspension speaker. The victim was an innocent little Wharfdale extended range speaker I heard in the house of a friend who had conducted an extensive listening tour, found he favored British speakers (being an Anglophile Audiophile), and lovingly installed it in his living room. CU said it honked. It didn't. He did a slow burn about 10 years long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit my High School years, were a lot like when Jeff Spicoli fell out of the VW bus in a cloud of smoke in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Good times... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen 4 or 5 on the used market, so however you got them, you did good. Something for you to consider: You have obviously put a lot of thought and invested some money in room treatment. I see you have an audio rack between your speakers. Three days ago Paul McGowen of PS Audio made the point there should be nothing between the speakers due to unwanted reflections. I saw another video recently backing up the same idea but I can't find remember where I saw that one. Take a look at Paul's vid, see what you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
