Grand Master

Jim, excellent question! I had a chance to listen to a set up at Ron's (spkrman57)house and thought it was awsome (used JBL 2226 on the bottom and JBL drivers w/Edgar horns on top). The Thermionic 3pi uses Eminance drivers and I'm hoping that the JBLs are part of the answer to a better overall sound. The combo I'm building also has a bit smaller foot print than the old speakers (at about 3.5 ft3). I really like what horns do in terms of dynamics, so trying another horn design, especially with Ron's help, is compelling. And, at the end of the day, if I don't like them for Hi-Fi, I'll use them for home theater. Oh, last, in terms of space, I've been relocated to the basement where space and WAF isn't as big of an issue as it was when I was trying to make something work for the living room... of course that does not mean I have complete freedom (sigh).
