1400 Array.....anyone have?

Something else you have to realize is the bass produced by a Klipschorn is totally different than the 1400. You can tune the 1400 to the room by moving the speaker around in addition to changing the seating location. You don't have the moving around option with the K-horn, so the bass response has always been erratic in my experience. I've voiced any number of Kornerhorns with Crown EQ2 and Rane, Urei, 1/3 octave, and Parametric EQ's. The difference is night and day. The transient response is masked by a predominance of mid bass, 160 down to 70 Hz. I't makes all the difference in the world when you voice the speaker to the room. Everyone talks about the speed of this speaker and that, well you haven't heard speed till you get your Kornerhorn balanced properly. There is one gent that's on the Mac forum that uses a Room Perfect MEN220 by Mac that has 1/12 octave filters and also corrects for the time displacement between the different horns for his system. That should be amazing. He says the change is scarily so real. Kornerhorns have so much potential if given a chance.

The idea of having a vertical JBL horn placing sound directly on the floor and on the ceiling bouncing everywhere scares the hell out of me. The narrowband notch filters created and phase distortions created should kill any attempt at realism. I'll take a paragon with all its issues any day over a pair of 1400's.

Here's a challenge, for JBL. Re issue the Paragon with the technical capabilities of a DD67000! Hint they could extend the width and place two 15 inch woofers in the center as sub woofer.

After further listening to the 1400's , combined with some seat time listening to the JBL S4700's I'm inclined to favor the latter. Even with that being said if I were to replace my current electrostatics I'd probably go with Revel.

Oh, Oh, some one has been riding Narrow gauge out west. Durango and Chama are my homes away from home when I want to sit still for a while during the summer and Fall in my RV. I was an Ambassador for the D&SNG RR, while Charlie and Amos ran the RR.
