As many will know I have been on a Quest to recreate the ultimate Holosonic experience without fatigue and at high spl levels. While for a decade i traded in B&W, Meridian, McIntosh and everything else in between fro Dynaudio Esotar based systems, these proved to be reliable workhorses in the era of compressed soundtracks. The appearance of uncompressed audio formats forced me to look lesewhere in order to stop blowing mid and high drivers.: )
After the experiment at our CEDIA 2009 3D Stadium with the CINEPRO horns, I ventured into the high spl horns with the System Skoll Pro audio tech. While we were able to release the Kraken equally as scarily as in the CEDIA event, I am still missing clarity during such high spl peaks.
Much like I told Tom Hollman during his Official introduction to THX to a group of CEDIA pre organizers in June 1990 CES, during a demonstration in a great chicago movie theater, the one in between the Hyatt and Marshall fields, it has a corkscrew parking lot that is lots of fun. While after the presentation during an unusually sycophant Q and A session, i stood up and opined on the sizzlingness of the sound:" I dunno but it sounds to me like someone is frying eggs behind the screen"- the guy had a fit as if I had torpedoed his luxury liner.
Well I don't want to hear eggs being fried behind the screen and am afraid Horns just do that. I also had considered the ribbons of Steinway, to a very disappointing "the stage stays behind the screen effect".
I do like the Adams that I have heard.
Enter the best recorded soundtrack on a 3d movie. Despicable Me" Fun Fun Fun" track by Pharell W. It turns out out the sountrack for that was made on the Quested $65,000ea. 4x15 monitors, these sound amazing at 3-4 meter.
But our home cinemas are 5 to 7 meters in range.
The quested LT series guarantees the exact same accurate and uncolored sound that you get in the Hans Zimmer lab, but at the correct viewing distance. That is exciting indeed.

. I have been mulling over some PMC IB2i coupled with Bryston 300w Powerpac amps lately, but these Quested are very interesting indeed, especially their active capabilities. I'm looking forward to hearing more reports.
