klipshorn speakers

+1 for big Cerwin Vega. Those were the loudest I've ever heard. Add a couple subs. But I'm afraid he will have hearing loss as he ages...

Save a lot of money and get a pair of the new JBL Century 100's. A fraction of the cost of the K-Horns! Capable of rockin' out without driving listeners from the room!

How big is his room? 

Loud isn't going to be the problem, thats the easy part...

But, if the room is too small, and you start going over 100db, something changes...

I have a pair or Cornwalls - heavily modded - which I am super happy with.

My room is approx 11X17??? And if I go over 95db, something changes. Granted, the room is not treated, but, its a forgiving room and I've managed to position the chair/speakers so they work quite well. What I've noticed, is the musicality goes away, and the sound gets muddled and noisy.

Been meaning to look into big speakers/small room/high db's and how the room getting pressurized can be effecting this distortion/noise.

My buddy upgraded from his lascala’s to the Khorns and he nearly returned them, he was so used to the huge mid bass boost of the lascala’s that the k horns took some getting used to. They don’t sound like they’re putting out any bass but they do pressurize a room and if you play lp’s and like tubes...

Also danager noted a big advantage: one in each corner and... done.
