Hi Brm1 I own a pair of omega grande 8 speakers with a pair of cary 300b se signatures and the match is heavenly.I have never heard the hemptone 8's.What I can tell you it took quite a while for mine to fully break in but,the wait is worth it.Bass is suffient and the three dimentionality is great the imaging soundstaging and clarity are teriffic.I totally agree with Darkmoebius don't give up yet.It does take a lot of work.Here is my system wadia 830 cd player directly into my cary 300b se signatures into my omega grande 8s via a pair of homemade cat 5e speaker cable.As Darkmoebius said small guage wire.
Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker
I have delved into SET and have gone for multi driver speakers to single driver full range. They are OK, but lacking dynamics and punch. I have been told that GOOD(expensive) horns would do the trick, but I wonder if I should go back to an efficient Multi driver speaker, i.e. Coincident Total Victory. I know that SET and lots of drivers and crossovers are not the best, but I not over whelmed with the Single driver thing. I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks
Mike
