Hello, thanks for reading.
On the verge of getting my vinyl rig up-and-running again, I'm beginning to research speakers, as the pair of Bose I've got at the moment aren't comparable even to my best set of headphones in terms of fidelity and "involvement."
I'm particularly curious about a type of speaker I've been reading about called "horn." Apparently they were quite common during the mono era; they operate on the same principle as the cones of Victrolas or the in-cabinet amplification systems of stand-alone 78 players, but due to numerous advances in engineering, construction and materials, they now boast some audible advantages over typical speakers - at least for intimate listening at sensible volumes.
I'm just trying to round up more first-hand impressions, at the moment, and having recently found a couple threads on this forum about headphones and vinyl, thought perhaps I might have some luck getting an intelligent appraisal of this style of speaker by asking here at StyleForum.
Thanks very much, take care.
