I've got to admit it's getting better. - John Lennon.
Martin DeWulf commenting on the Eclipse Review.
MGD comments: To address some of Dr. Weiner's speculations.
1 have heard in the Big Rig an Osborn speaker very similar to
the one of wistfully dreamed of above. It was the Titan Reference.
It had the lead lined cabinet and the Focal Audiom tweeter, but
crossover work was still proceeding. Nonetheless, it may have
been the finest sounding 2-way bookshelf speaker I have ever heard.
The lead lined cabinet works, as does the marvelous tweeter. The
speaker sounded much, much larger than it actually was.
It extended deeper in the bass in a manner that was amazingly
tight and tuneful. The music in the mids was solid, musical discontinuities
so accustomed to by the trained ear, were gone - and the music
took on a presence that made me love the speaker. In many ways
it sounded like a mini Silverline LaFolia and I can't give it
much higher praise than that.
