People that tell you that horns can't sound good have never heard them with the right equipment properly set up in good room. They simply disappear and make music. . . I wish everyone could hear it to understand what can be accomplished when this process is properly implemented.
using a lot of Intact Audio iron, inter-stage transformers, output transformers, and power

Anthem Statement A5
5 channel power amp for front height, wides, center height
I love your 6-channel amp concept. What is the active crossover you are using? Reading back I found the elimination of the passive crossover but not what actually replaced it (unless I did not realize that you are running it through Pure Vinyl).
Herman/Bruce, That looks great and must sound awesome. Someday I'd love to get the 45Hz-180Hz on mine like that, but it will be a while before I have a mancave which will allow me to do that.
Thanks. Oops. My question on "source" was more of a "where did you get them" question. Did you make them? Are they made by someone else? They're huge! I love'em!
Thanks for the note about Pure Vinyl software doing time alignment. I will have to look more closely at the software.
