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
