Happy Birthday and Congratulations, Romy! Nice to hear you took the “me time” and you’re getting the results you’ve been after for so long. When you talked about Bruckner’s long expositions and the “almost” feeling you get, I may not know exactly what you mean, but I could use similar words to describe my own sense of it, not so long ago.  You fingered the Vitavox, and that frequency range, and I think you might be on to something. Of course you did not put a “horn Vitavox” in a box, right? Might be that Bruckner’s “sneaky volume” has caught you off guard. Is it possible that the Vitavox in boxes are not quite keeping up with your 110 dB horns? It seems to me that these “crescendos” require power “beyond SPL”, but they also require “perfect resolution” to be “adequately expressed”, at least this is so for me, at this point, anyway. That big, open room will eat a LOT of system power… I hesitate to suggest solutions, such as doubling the Vitavox, because, of course, every “solution” introduces new problems. If the issue goes up into the big horn, there’s that, too, at least the tie-in.>>


Best regards,

Paul S
