Thanks! So Volvo-H had it right. Yeah, I could try that. Will see what I can get to fit in there.

Pano looks like you are making some good progress on this !
Well, maybe. I feel like I'm getting lost somewhere along the way. About ready to buy a tickeet to Paris to go hear and mesure Jean Hiraga's A5s. They are my target, so I need a refresher course.
Can you call him ? Or is it you have to do a lot of measuring while there ?Quote:

All of the bigger than my listening room, tho. That may also have a lot to do with it.
Yes it may.He still has them setup after 20 years ? Awesome ! :Clap: :Thumbs up: :cool2:
Yes John, AFAIK they are still set up and THE reference speaker in France. They are still at the offices of the Revue du Son. I feel quite happy about that because I championed them quite a bit - I thought to little effect. But that fact that they are still a reference all these years later says that the guys must have really listened to them, and have been won over. Don't know if they ever really listened to me. ;)
Oh I think they did ! :wink2:Quote:

Well that certainly could put a crimp in any travel plans ! I would really like to know what happened to the A5's as well ? :Sad:
