sunnysal Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I enjoyed Ray´s letter, published in stereophile this month, about the longstanding feud between accuracy and enjoyment as the ultimate goal in stereo equipment design and manufacture. I have just one complaint Ray...why oh why did you not scream for a new Klipshorn review?! warm regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Tony, just went to the website ... Didn't see it. Then again, I have the IQ of a soap dish. Could you please post the link to Ray's letter? Merci ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Not online, it was printed the magazine. More detail and information in the General Forum, with responses by Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It was a great letter. I am surprised they published it. It kind of left the door open on a 3 way horn speaker review in the future in the editorial response. In recent listening of large cone mids and electrostatics; horn mid of the Chorus II and LaSclas still have more mid range dynamics and realism than the 3 pair of $ 7000 to 10,000 per pair speakes I have heard in the past couple of mionths. The Lowther with a properly implemented sub still intrigues me though. I will have to save that singel driver investigation for 2008; too many other things to do between now and then.

Tom Mobley Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Chris, After gazing upon your equipment list, mentally estimating a few cost figures, well, I'm having a little trouble buying into the soap dish bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hardy Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Just responding to the Lowther comment above... While I have heard Lowthers sound good (even very good) with certain, extremely well-recorded program, they are really unbearable to me with, e.g., compressed, poorly-mastered 'pop' recordings (even some not-so-bad ones). No question that my Cornwalls are pretty unforgiving of a bad-sounding recording, but they're never unlistenable. I heard some Stevie Ray Vaughn on AlNiCo Lowthers in backloaded horns that I just couldn't take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Leeroy Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Much of that might have been the SRV recording as my Cornwalls don't do justice to his recordings at times. The Legend was an open flowing channel when seen live. I had the honor three times. (check out the avitar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
