That should be a disclaimer that all visitors to this site have to sign before reading... I have now spent almost a year trying to tame my Vitavox S2s, find right horns, right throat adaptors, right xover settings...my sound was pretty good before switching to the Vitavoxs. The Vitavoxs are doing things so well that I can't go in reverse, but know I have to rething mid-bass, had to change my preamplification, am trying to change amplification etc etc... and I REALLY don't enjoy tinkering with audio equipment...
I have slowly (over almost 5 years now!) slowly changed my system to reflect some of romy's choices in audio equipment. Most of them have worked out very well for me but only after working very hard on adapting each piece to my system. My Micro Seiki 5000 for example took almost four years of finding the right set-up(especially base) before it gave up the magic.
Good luck to anyone that runs out and buys this stuff, I would recommend setting budget at $2000 and NEVER reading an audio mag or website as long as you live..
