Just for ****s and giggles I'd love to audition a pair of these:
HR-200 Speaker Cabinet Herald Loudspeakers bring out the best in organ sounds. Transient response relates to the speed of the attack or start-up sounds (the initial "tap" of a cymbal, for example). While this is a part of the "picture", the speaker industry as a whole has ignored that an important element of transient response is the ability to respond to fast peaks in sound. These peaks also occur in the "steady state" or sustained portion of the wave and must be reproduced to make authentic sounding instruments-especially reeds, strings, mixtures, and the wind sounds of flue pipes. Such sounds are garbled by typical consumer grade "audiophile" speakers used in the digital organ industry. Allen Organ Company, with its Renaissance=99 technology and Herald=99 speakers, faithfully recreate the peaks accurately and at the intensity needed for the true "feel" and majesty of the pipe organ. * 1" Ferro-Fluid titanium diaphragm compression driver with matched exponential horn * Passive two-way second order crossover network * 15" woofer * Frequency response 30 Hz to 20 kHz * Sensitivity 94 dB * Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms * Dimensions (Utility Cabinet*): 17 3/8" (441 mm) wide 33 1/4" (844 mm) high with glides 19 1/8" (486 mm) deep with grill * Weight: 80.5 lbs. (36.5 kg) uncrated Or better; HC-14/15 Speaker Cabinets The Allen HC-15 speaker (HC-14 in veneered finishes) is the standard cabinet for Prot=E9g=E9=AE Organs. These three-way speaker cabinets include a 15" woofer, as well as a 4" mid-range and a 1" tweeter. The result is a full-range cabinet with a perfect blend of bass, midrange and treble capabilities. The Allen HC-14 and 15 cabinets faithfully recreate the high-fidelity sounds produced by Allen's advanced Renaissance=99 tone-generation system. Features * Passive three-way crossover network * 15" woofer * 4" Mid-range Driver * 1" Tweeter * Frequency response 30 Hz to 20 kHz * Sensitivity 98 dB * Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms * Dimensions (Utility Cabinet*): 17 3/8" (441 mm) wide 33 1/4" (844 mm) high with glides 16 9/13" (424 mm) deep with grill * Weight: 82 lbs. (37.2 kg) uncrated * Finish cabinets (shown) dimensions differ slightly. I mean, in my living room. Not for organ. I'm sure they're way overpriced-as if **** from Sonus faber, Thiel, etc. weren't-but look. Fifteen inch woofer. Now if they had a nice horn in the center of 'em... |
