    What are the Top Horn Speakers in the World Today? Vox Olympian vs Avantgarde Trio vs ???

    WHY indeed... It looks lovely, and I bet it sounds nice, but there are any number of "free" set up things you could do with this system to TRANSFORM the quality of sound in the room.

    Audiophile Fuses

    As we are back on topic (entertaining as the diversion was) here's my opinion on the fuse thing, FWIW. Yes fuses make a difference. I tried SR Orange against stock fuses and noticed an immediate improvement in "liveness" and soundstaging to the sound. The more I used the better the sound became...

    How would you spend my money?

    Lol. I only use the Series 2 double stack, one above and one below the ball bearing, or the Junior HDSE which are also double stack. That way although the unit wobbles its pretty stable, even for under my turntable. FWIW I have found a Symposium platform to work really well under my PX25 amp...

The new music room is narrower than before which means I'm sitting further away relative to the distance the speakers are apart, so I have...

    Ron's Favorite Private Rooms + Systems of All Time

    Chill out! Rons thread, Ron's opinions on Ron's favourite rooms and systems based on what Ron has heard. End of. Why all the debate? Rather than a consensus view isn't anyone entitled to an opinion anymore ?

    How would you spend my money?

    Add a second sub and listen to everything improve If you can borrow some, try some Symposium Rollerblocks, starting on your front end. They are now unfashionable because they aren't updated every 5 minutes and the price hasn't quadrupled in the last two years, but after experimentation their...

    Hi Tom Thanks for the reply. Despite the age of my horns and my tweeters not being time aligned, that is helpful.

    I agree, I have old Trios and they do respond well to being kept away from front walls. I have a question for you Ron: I realise that Todds Trios are much newer than mine and its a very different room but I'm curious how toed in they are. At the listening position can you see the tweeter horns...

    Koetsu

    From memory, 75 ohms. Below 100 anyway. I'm away for a few days so I'll check at the weekend. BUT YMMV - 75 ohm is in my system with my speakers.
