Aloha!
Ok I read through all 23 pages to make sure I didn't post a speaker mentioned earlier. I see multiple references to Klipschorns but no mention of other old school klipsch speakers, many of which are both lengendary and sweet sounding. I'd suggest adding Klipsch La Scalas as a good less-expensive alter alternative to klipschorns. Both use the same Type AA crossover, use the same 3 drivers, and were built by hand in Hope Arkansas. Plus they are probably some of the most efficient speakers ever made; 104 dB @ 1w! Only (major) difference between la scalas and k horns is the shape of the folded horn.

Hi -

I see this is an old thread (6 years old).

I nominate Legacy Audio's WHISPER speakers. I have heard them and they are nothing short of amazing. The best dynamic speakers I've ever heard. I'm working on my own version...

Roger Sander's electrostatic speakers (come with integrated transmission line woofers) are supposed to be very good but I have not had the good fortune to hear them yet...

Truly enjoyable thread. I have a number of these legends. And since the definition of legend is not rigorously defined, I will add the Ohm F. The driver is a work of art. (I noticed the Ohm Walsh and Ohm A already mentioned).

Absolutely, they are keepers

My wife made me sell my "ugly" EV model 16B's.
Worst mistake so far.
3-way sealed, all cone drivers, but what a sweet sound!

But I suppose if I'd kept them I'd have never started DIY speaker building ... :-)
