I love the idea of the plasma tweeter, but I think I felt that it sounded a bit hot to me. But that was only in show conditions, and I suspect the right SET amplifier could ameliorate any brightness there.
Is there any kind of attenuator on the Acapella plasma tweeter?
i just got done visiting Viking Acoustic in Sante Fe, NM to discuss the building of my Grande Voix speakers. While there, I got to listen to his new Fantom Speakers. My oh my did they sound great with his 35wpc integrated amp.
Yes I did....the pair I listened to were just completed for a guy in Spain. A totally different sound then the Fantom horn speaker.Did you get to listen to the TubeMaster? I should be getting mine soon.

I will be really interested to see which speakers you decide on. Where do you liveYeahh, those Fantom are a wild design. David thinks the TM would be best for my equipment and smaller room but he's going to send me the standmount Berlin horn to try out also.

Spent most of my life in Michigan....Detroit, Canton, Plymouth, Northville and Birmingham. Love the lakes and the summers. I got tired of the winters....lolI’m in Michigan.

A friend of mine ordered his Odeon 33 in double white:
White matte enclosures with high gloss white horns and they look fantastic
That is pretty closeCan the Odeon No. 33 be used for nearfield listening (e.g. listening postion is 2m or less from the speaker plane) or do the three drivers need time and space to integrate?
Thank you! I look forward to hearing your impressions.That is pretty close
I think he sits rather more than 3m away.
I don't know when I see him next time but I will sit extra close to check it for you
I will most probably sooner be able to try it on a pair of 38/2 firstThank you! I look forward to hearing your impressions.
When I demoed the No. 26 I started about 5m back but enjoyed it better at 4m. I never tried moving closer however.
I posed the question to the manufacturer and they recommended at least 2.5m.I will most probably sooner be able to try it on a pair of 38/2 first
But if it should work there, it will also work on a 33
Thanks for the info.I posed the question to the manufacturer and they recommended at least 2.5m.
No worries!Thanks for the info.
Sorry, I have to admit that I was at my friends place in the meantime but I forgot to sit closely
Haha I can imagine. Even I'm getting fed up.For 3 seasons I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Winters really don’t bother me too much. I lived in CA for many years and everything about it drove me nuts.
I'm going to try putting the speakers along the short wall (the window wall) rather than having them along the long wall. I could place the speakers on top of the rug and have them 2m apart, on-centre. I'd bring that love seat down to the other end of the rug and use it as a listening chair. I'll try sitting 2.5m from the speaker plane and then I'll try sitting 2.5m from the speakers themselves.Thanks for the info.
