In Reply to: Re: Yes; Martinelli Horns are the best looking horns out there. posted by manualblock on July 17, 2006 at 20:12:20:
I visited Alfred Kayser, the KR Audio disributor a few weeks ago. He has his own set of Martinelli horns atop the most gorgeous Bubinga cabinets Bill made.
You'll recall the unusual 3 color veneer cabinets he made last year? They were also there at Alfreds while their owner was remodeling. The incredible fotos were beggared by the real thing!
The horns also have a particular "sound" that is at once more mellow than the aluminum Altecs and more revealing of inner detail. True, at least, of 806A's with 811B's with cut and dampened vanes.
As Steve Brown wrote last week, the 902's sounded "better" with the 811's than the Woodhorns but with a different crossover than used in the 806 comparison.
And while we're discussing handwork, you should see the no-nonsense electronics Steve turns out seemingly every weekend. His latest push-pull amp is really special-sounding. Very extended frequency range along with SET presence.
