Post Subject: Meeting the Owner's DemandsPosted by Paul S on: 11/5/2024
No surprise that the YouTube rendition is no great shakes, but from the interview and the demonstration both we learn something about the demands driving the installation, thanks to clarity from the owner. But what good does it do to comment on the sound I get from the demonstration when the owner might well dismiss or roundly qualify this rendition, as well? I hear "promise", but I've heard better from Avantgarde, and there is not much there I would settle for, personally. Based on my experience I think I could tweak better sound from that system, but if I wanted to change amps then what does that say about the proprietary system? Like Romy said, central to the idea of horns is equalizing the sound of the driver in the pass band, sans "horn sound". It takes so much time and expense to do this that "no one does it". I still think there's more to be gotten from the G3, and I still think it's "worth pursuing" for those who are looking to start with something they can buy and install. But, as ever, it takes more than money to get the best from an audio installation.
