I would also need the room for it as well.

This guy has the right idea!!

+1

After that it would be the KEF Blade, followed by the Revel Salon 2

But if the opportunity ever presents itself again, opportunity being defined as a move to a house with a good room for cornerhorns, then maybe I could live the dream all over again!

No reason not to use Klipschorns for HT as well!


I love my Klipschorns, but would like to someday hear what all the fuss is about with the Jubilee. I'm thinking the 402 Jubilee horn on top of my Klipschorn bass bins. The problem are looks, since the 402 dwarfs the Klipschorn!

My dream speaker is the engine in the Ferrari 458 cool.gif



More traditionally as a Focal ho, I'd take a pair of Grand Utopia EM's. And a room large enough to use them properly

The Ferrari may be cheaper.

Still about $120k more, but I get the point.

Love your setup. The klipschorns are the most accurate sounding loudspeakers ever built for home. And the corner placement makes the bass act like a speaker 8 times its size.

By cinema, I meant commercial movie theatre. The HPS-545-4 was developed to equal the sound of Klipschorn without the need for corner placement. They sound incredibly lifelike and clean.

I am a simple man I guess with simple dreams. My dreams come in stages or levels.

stage One: PSB Synchrony

stage two: Aerial Acoustics 7T

stage three: Sony SS-AR1 or Revel Ultima 2 (tough one)

Stage four: wide open

My dream is to build a new house to properly set up my dream speakers. One pair of Klipschorns in their corners and at the opposite end of the room, a pair of Magnepan 20.7s. Power would come from Mark Levinson, Cary, and Harman Kardon. Reasonable and not too over the top.cool.gif
