I am looking for opinions on the Horning Eufrodite, in particular the latest Ellipse model but all opinions on the speakers are welcome. How do they compare to horns of similiar sensitivity? Where do they fall short of SOTA:?
Don't like them, though. Have heard them in 3 rooms, and Perart1 owns a pair.
It is not that they do anything wrong, but I wouldn't seek them out. If you are just looking for a sensitive speaker to run SETs on, I would take these if I had a great deal and could sell them on later. But I wouldn't see any reason to change from an existing speaker to the euphrodite. Heard from a guy critical of these that their top 7 foot model is good. Dunno.
You would be better off finding a speaker you can hear and find something special in.
I would go for the Heco over this and cheaper as well.
For a room like yours which I understand is not big, you should get the 84 db audio machina and run it with Berning quadratures.

I heard them at LAAS a few years ago - can't say I was jazzed about the sound. Blah isn't a bad descriptor.
The Cessaro Wagner was more appealing to me sold by the same distributor. And I didn't think the older Chopin was very coherent, so go figure.
"Dev" - a member here, I believe had the Hornings and sold em for Duo Mezzos. You might reach out to him
The last ones I heard were a few years ago... I liked them but the highs were rolled off. Might have worked well w a supertweeter...
Yes, that is a curious speaker, the Wagner. Funny that you considered the Chopin not very coherent given that the Wagner really seems to be an evolution not a revolution of it. Also, as a two-way there is not nearly so much to screw up in terms of coherence. For sure my Odeon La Bohemes are seamlessly coherent and are also the exact same design concept as these small Cessaros.
The Highwater sound guy seems to like the Eufrodite quite a bit as he featured it at a lot of shows and got a lot of praise for the sound at the show...thus my curiosity. Also, they are not much taller than my Rigolettos (my other Odeons) or wider. The La Bohemes are only a few cm taller but quite a bit wider and deeper...they look rather imposing...but not really only to my wife.
Chopin are awful. Their mids too, forget the rest

On monday I am traveling to Slovakia to hear these Agalme, the guy is selling themI heard the Horning Agalme at a show several years ago. It remains one of the best systems I've ever heard, unbelievably engaging.
