By horns I mean horn loaded speakers, in particular front loaded horns. They tend to project the sound further in front of them and land a bigger sound stage than your tipical boxes (of course, there are exceptions here, but the rule stands). In regard to the examples your asked for, there are...

Line arrays tend to work best in rooms with high ceilings. Horns, as well, are natural choices for very large rooms.

I've heard a pair of Pioneer EX bookshelves (can't remember which of the two models in the series) in a very tiny room, they produced beautiful music despite being made to do so in a really claustrophobic space. Might be worth looking into them.

Around 10.000 Euros. Good read, DocG. Thanks!

Hi Nick, I would be interested in hearing your comments on products that you know/sell that are not susceptible to mains effects of any sort and thus completely immune to AC related "upgrades." Also, I see you're selling Audio Arts gear, but I can't seem to find the Mono II amps on the site...

There's not that much to know... and to know is different than to understand. ;) I'm not an engineer, but I've been a PSU editor at (probably) the largest English speaking HW community on the web (OCN), I've worked with a few OEMs on bringing more than a few products to market and I'm still...

Maybe my choice of words was poor, I did mean the entry gear within their product line, not the entry level segment that most would associate with below £500 gear.

It really depends on the quality of the PSU used for the Amp in question. A simple truth, usually omitted in such discussions, states that a sufficiently effective, well designed and built PSU will isolate your Amp (or any other part) well enough that mains...

I do not have time to look for specific products that fit your criteria, however I will suggest a few brands that do make integrated amps that fit your budget and are also available in UK, amps that you'd want to look at and listen to before you decide to purchase. Atoll (IN100 and IN200 can be...

For 2000 pouns?.. probably neither :) Where will you be buying from, what else is available?

I understand your frustration and I sympathize, but yes, it is normal, it's something difficult to test for with mass produced electronics.. given a large enough batch, there's always one or more samples to slip through QA with minor issues such as the one you're accusing. Especially since an...

Is it an electric humm?.. If it's electric, it's normal for most electronics (usually a coil, most of the time inaudible though) and it can go away after a while. Is it there at any load, even in standby?

We can ask the mods to move the thread in the proper section, no point in opening a second one since there are already a few of us on top of this one. :) @dalev8, Storm Audio is a French manufacturer, which offers products with very good price/performance and price/quality ratios (for EU made...

Hey, welcome to the forum! What is current system and where will you be buying from?

You should be, it's a beautiful country. :) You should go hear this, somewhat above your specified budget (@ ~ £1100), but certainly good value for money and, like pretty much all Hi-Fi gear, somewhat negotiable.
