The original Quad electrostatics sounded pretty good at low volumes, they just couldn’t play loud. Maybe seek out a refurbished pair & or their next generation?
Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels
I started an earlier thread seeking a horn that plays rich and full bodied at 50 DBS. Did an AI search and A1 advised that the power I am using is fine to elicit rich sound at 50 DBS from the tweeter horn and mid range horn, it will not get the large woofer moving in order to provide satisfying bass. Since the Lucera, is not readily available for listening, I looked a little further. The Devore 0/96 Orangutan came up and after reading about this speaker it seems that since it is a 2 way and both drivers are close to each as well as the woofer being of the paper cone variety, This would activate the base driver at low DB levels. Does anybody own or have heard this speaker? Wil the entire spectrum of sound, play rich and full bodied at 50 DBs. I am aware of the Fletcher Munson Cure. Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Now your talkin! So many vintage speakers came with level controls. I think OP needs the reverse of Fletcher Munson, cut the mids, then go for his desired volume. I talked about boosting the bass in the other thread untill I was bored by myself. OP, I might agree, you are aware of Fletcher Munson, but Understand it? |
