Yes, I am in the process of getting the drivers re-foamed in the Acapellas, but after many years of being “advised” by Pete that a full range horn system could be far better…I now have the room, yay! Besides, I’ve now had the Acapellas for nearly 10 years so a change is a good as…etc.
Could either sell the current speakers, or keep the plasma tweeters and base a multi-way system around them. Having said that though, I have to admit I’m not very techy, so the complexities of putting together such a system could well be beyond me.
An off the shelf system, such as Trios with the matching subs might be easier, but I am completely open to suggestions. For value reasons, second hand would be better. I’ve had a quick look around, but can’t find much. Any suggestions/links would be appreciated.
IMO, your system’s only real shortcoming is the bass - there’s plenty of it, but as far as I remember it, it lacks the ‘bounce’ and fluidity of more sensitive systems.
The Acapellas’ mid and treble are lovely, so maybe just take the bass section out of the loop and replace with some big, fuck-off bass cabinets?
But why not a deal on the Kondo Ruthy 3 loudspeakers and Kondo KSL Gakuon 211 mono amplifier. Complete change of plan/direction and beans of toast for ever.
I have no real idea of the engineering. For sure though, the set-up I heard these in is up there with the very best I have heard. Incredibly dynamic, with huge scale and tone. I absolutely love what they do.
