Why Synergy horns?
Would you say the most essential aspects of your criticism on the Raidho's have been covered in your post above? The manufacturer's unwillingness to accept your criticism in the youtube review confounds me, as other review members expressed a nigh on perfect speaker to their ears, and so one...- Jägerst.

Is Your Loudspeaker Perfect For You?
These are interesting areas to experiment with vertical vs. horizontal bi-amping, not least in conjunction with hybrid or identical amp pairings. Vertical config. naturally necessitates identical amps in the frequency range they've been designated to handle per channel, but using the same... -
What is the most musical, fast and accurate subwoofer you have heard?
Lack of directionality in the lower octaves is one thing, the lack of bass sources is another; more bass sources mean an acoustically smoother response, and so I'd try and squeeze in a pair at least - a bit smaller in size, perhaps. However, I've never been a fan of asymmetrically placed...- Jägerst.

Building a world-class Horn system for Small Rooms
First, thanks for posting and showing your setup - beautiful horn speakers! What's the driver(s) and its size used in the bass horn, if I may ask? On your quoted section above, not sure I agree. Movie sound reproduction can be quite a daunting task for a speaker with its wide dynamic range... -
Is Your Loudspeaker Perfect For You?
Indeed, most any speaker can come across sounding "off" if only heard once - not least at a show. I've heard several ATC models in different contexts sounding anything but "lean and bright" - that's not at all their inherent imprinting from what I've heard. My point is that not least actively... -
Is Your Loudspeaker Perfect For You?
Not everyone would agree on ATC speakers being a bad fit in a domestic setting. I've heard ATC's in different iterations, rooms and systems - active, passive and different sizes/models - and it goes without saying they're not only very revealing of the source material, but as well the source... -
Robert Harley on "How to Choose Loudspeakers"
I'm in absolute agreement with you on this, @Ron Resnick. That is, my only contention, in effect, is limiting your field of criteria to "high-end audio stores;" if one is really on a mission to find out about the sound one likes, then he or she should open up that field to really not be about...- Jägerst.

Is Your Loudspeaker Perfect For You?
No build thread yet, but I guess such could surface eventually. As I said, the basic setup framework I got already, and it's very satisfying as is. I'm sure many an audiophile would scoff at industrial looking, actively configured cinema speakers, studio amps and behemoth sized tapped horn subs... -
Is Your Loudspeaker Perfect For You?
No, not quite there yet, but these last few years I've been focussing more on getting the basic, physical outlines of a speaker system in place; as in prodigious displacement area top to bottom, high efficiency, relatively unrestricted frequency range (i.e.: honest ~20-18kHz) with full tilt... -
Why Synergy horns?
This. Before those who would go on to criticize a DSP-based setup as a general stance, it seems at least part of the fallacy here is not realizing the flaws passive crossovers themselves introduce, and which also and not least - apart from what's brought up in above quote - includes the negative...- Jägerst.

Serving sub-duties only, or is there a midbass section as well?- Jägerst.

Why Synergy horns?
@schlager already explained the rationale behind the "filler driver," so won't get into that, but the Synergy horn is way smart in that it sums the output of its different drivers into a single point source with no driver-transitional issues. Myself I plan on going the Synergy route down the...- Jägerst.

Why Synergy horns?
Remember what a DSP potentially replaces rather than being an addition per se (more an that later). If you're using an existing, passively configured speaker setup and want to implement digital room correction via a DSP, then yes you're adding a processing layer in the digital domain...- Jägerst.

Why Synergy horns?
Ah, as they say: the plot thickens ;) Well, do you believe it's a generally accepted stance here at What Best Forum that an analogue source and overall pathway is necessarily superior to a (partially) digital ditto? You did stress "from my listening tests," so at least it would seem you're...- Jägerst.

Why Synergy horns?
While at least part of your reply to @schlager is in a different context (i.e.: the particular usage) here, I'd like to point out that DSP isn't only about digital room correction in the amplitude and time domain, but can as well act simply and exclusively as a digital crossover in a fully...- Jägerst.
