| Murat, this latest information from you has gotten you farther along than you might suppose at this time. From what you now say, it sounds like 6 months would be a minimum amount of time for you to spend getting a sense of the Sound you are after, along with learning how to shape it, in the context of Music you relate to. Perhaps you might get it in 6 months, or you might take 6 years, but I think Romy nailed the most practical progression, based on money you've (apparently) already spent, and he also gave you his very valuable experience of audibly "locating" the drivers/horns, which is not something one wants to wind up with. An alternate route: If you have more money than time or patience for so much DIY at this time, you might get a pair of old ML2s and a pair of Duo Mezzos and "get up to speed" that way, then you might begin to "cross reference" your own ideas/designs. This way you might actually enjoy some Music as you learn about shaping the Sound of it. Despite so many here seem to be "doing their own thing", I think most of us started out with "store bought" gear and slowly "transformed" it into our present, "personalized" systems. Speaking for myself, I spent over 40 years messing with hi-fi before getting my ML2s and finding this site, and sometimes it feels like I've learned more in the past 9 years than I did in the previous 40+ years. Of course, I am still trying to learn more. At the same time, I insist on immersing in Music, for its own sake, and without this I know I would soon lose interest in hi-fi. |
