You know, I really like my Straight 8s. Speakers, I think, are the most subjective component in the system. Cope is right, with the new xover and in the big room, they sounded great. But...

...so did the other stuff. I really was digging Cope's big Pi cabinets/horn combo, and Bill M's design as well. A lot. So much, in fact, that if I ever build a larger dedicated listening room I'd have to seriously consider that type of combination.

Thanks to everyone who attended. Great group of people. Looking forward to hosting again soon. (Probably this September).
