OPERA CONSONANCE M15-24TH ANNIVERSARY HORN SPEAKERS

[Hornucopia]

[SIZE=16pt]Well, having featured in the ‘Gems on eBay’ section, I guess it’s about time I advertised on HERE! (They weren’t on t’Bay)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]Lovely beautifully made horn speakers, rarely seen in UK. 15 inch bass driver plus a wonderfully built-in  [/SIZE]midrange driver horn and a tweeter horn taking in the top.

[SIZE=16pt]I don’t know whether Opera or JBL first thought of incorporating the horn into the body of the speaker (JBL4345) but it looks great, especially in wood as here.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]The sound is great as you’d expect dynamic, detailed, musical plus being 98db efficient, needing very few watts to run.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]They weigh 54 kgs, so very well put together. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]I was thinking of getting Klipsch Cornwall 4s - having owned Klipschorns (and Avantgarde Duos) before, but the Operas are so much nicer looking than the black box of the Cornwall, and just as great sounding[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]You can read about the (basic M15 horn) here[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]or (gooogle Translate?)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]They have the horn characteristic of sounding full bodied even at low volume and, like Quad ELSs, seem to get clearer rather than louder at higher volume. Great with all types of music. Single wire input-rear pic coming.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]£3500, plus carriage.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]I’d recommend shipping by Pallet for safety[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]Can be heard in Bristol or I can ship, post receipt.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]Chris in Shirehampton.[/SIZE]

Thanks,Jerry and co for your appreciation.

Hey they look flipping lovely all the dynamics and believability of horns without the Size conflicting with domestic harmony.

Once you hear good horns you can't go back .

When I downsize I'm gonna have to sell my La Scalas but not for a while yet

 

[Mondie]

These are awesome and a bargain for 3.5k. Properly sorted big cones and horns is where its at. These deserve to sell easily.

 

[Hornucopia]

Coming from someone with such special speakers (Lenards) is praise indeed!

 

[Tony_J]

Great looking speakers - GLWTS

 

[Hornucopia]

Thanks, Tony.

impeccable sound too.

I think the solid wood horn helps (zero resonance)

 

[Hornucopia]

Discount to Wammers. Impeccable wood. (What does 'impeccable' mean....? Peccable? Must look up)

Anyway-someone has pointed out that the mid horn looks very similar to that on the Vox Olympian speaker!

Only considerably less money!

Means that it cannot be attacked by "woodpeccers"

Sun is out; door is open; sounds playing to the garden.

(Watching out for peccers-there IS one lives around here)

The glass thing on top? It's Roman, dug up in Granada (Spain)

i love Andalucia,but wondering if I'll ever see it again.

Following the lost and found parcel saga  I'm listeningt to  Vinicius Cantuaria via the 'Coffee'

 

[Lawrence001]

You got it back from the Amazon "fulfillment centre"? That's great news and rather unexpected (by me at least). How did they locate it?

Brazilian, as you know. I see you've snapped up the bargain M-12 version-enjoy the sound!

 

[Hornucopia]

Sounds great on a variety of music - as good speakers should.

Hi Chris PM sent!

Chris,

I have a Japanese friend in Tokyo who is putting together a nice high end system for himself as he's moved into a new house. I recommended these speakers to him, only question is would you be prepared to ship out to him in Japan (understand they are going to be in wooden pallet even if sending here in the UK).
