Guys, another day, another thread.
I'm looking at a possible last spkr move, and am seriously tempted to go horns, and this one is right on my radar.
I'm devoted to my SETs, and when horns come together I'm smitten by the involvement, mids vibrancy and tonal impact etc etc.
But I'm often left disappointed by discontinuities, esp from mids into bass, nasal/honk colourations, and inability to fully engage on rock music, esp w/bass lagging behind mids.
I've loved Avantgarde Trios w/subs, but felt soundstage artificially bloated.
I've loved Cessaro Liszts, but felt bass-mids integration lacking.
Tannoy Westminster Royal SEs are great, but cabinet colourations break the spell.
Tune Audio Animas leave me a little cold tonally.
I was starting to give up on finding horns that marry mids seductiveness w/bass continuity and the ability to be both delicate and rock out, but i may have found a candidate...
...the Zingali Acoustics Client Evo 3.18.
It utilises proprietary Omniray tech that apparently eradicates a lot of mids/highs horn discontinuities and colourations, creating a wider sweet spot, full horns seductiveness, just a lot more linear, and bass is said to be kick ass, using an 18" driver.
Additionally I'm a total sucker for the sexy curved cabinet design and second to none paint finishes. Pure Italian audio porn.
My next aim is to listen to a pair, but in the meantime, does anyone have an opinion?
