The instances I have heard of such efforts - commercial and otherwise - pale by comparison to the Silverback's coherence and timing. You can add super tweeters and subs to a full-range backloaded horn to improve extension at both extremes but you defeat the point of having a full-range driver.
#SILVERBACK STRAIN REVIEW DRIVERS#
Integration between the drivers in the Silverback is superior by any standard, and the high frequency extension of the Silverback simply cannot be matched by full-range driver designs.
There are ways of mating the Beauhorn with subwoofers that can resolve some but not all of these issues. Like the Silverback Reference, these speakers are open to the source and immediate but not nearly as well balanced. Neither has a bottom end to speak of and in the case of the Lamhorn - like most backloaded horns - the bass is not on time with the rest of the music and is inadequately resolved by comparison.
Both of these speakers are extremely immediate and vivid. Take the best of the fullrange drivers in backloaded (as the Lamhorn 1.8) or back- and front-loaded horn enclosures (as in the quite wonderful Beauhorn). I mentioned earlier that in this way, the DeVore is similar to various horn designs that I have owned or listened to over the years - much more so in fact than any other dynamic loudspeaker I know: similar but even better in most ways. If your electronics are up to standard imposed by the Silverback Reference, I guarantee that you will experience the most balanced yet immediate presentation of music you have heard from a dynamic loudspeaker. I had other things I wanted to play for him. Can we play it again? I want to figure out the relationship between the horns." We didn't of course. It was the first time I could make sense of the relationship of the bass to the piano and the piano to the drums. Recorded in 1972 at the Philharmonie in Berlin, Brubeck's sidekicks include Gerry Mulligan as well as the song's author, Paul Desmond Alan Dawson on drums and Jack Six on bass.Īfter listening and apparently being mesmerized, he turned to me and said, "I must have heard that tune a thousand times, but that's the first time I heard it both as a whole and with all of its parts completely separated out. In due course, I played several cuts including a live version of "Take Five" from We're All Together Again for the First Time.
