Aspara HL-1

Is te HL1 the biggest of the horns they make, if it is I just heard it at the Heathrow show.

It wasn't bad, in real terms, you wouldn't choose to make a two way horn, it simply asks too much of the mid, I thuoght their was some resonance from the horn, perhaps if it were solid?

Hi,

I thought they sounded quite good. I have heard them sounding better at the Silverstone show last September. They do offer a very good sense of dynamics to the music, making it engaging to listen to.

There is resonance on the bass box but you may not find it a problem. To a number of people, it doesn't get in the way of the music.

Given how good the larger Impulse models were, I'm surprised these haven't been reborn and revamped.

Thank you for the responses. My room is large (18ftx30ftx10ft). Will the HL1 work in this space or should I look into the larger Aspara?
 
Hi Ultimatum7,

It should fine in your room. the reviewer in HiFI News has a similar sized room.

Thanks again. I recently tried out some Klipschorns. While I admittedly did not have "ideal" corners for them, which slightly compromised the bass quality, I found the upper frequencies to be terribly fatiguing. Nevertheless, I did find the horn presentation compelling in a number of ways. I also recently had an all too brief in home demo of the Zu Essence, whose size and weight allowed me to try them in different locations in my new room. I thought the Essence were pretty good for the price and they revealed that bass nodes likely won't be a problem in my large room.

I recently acquired a Pure Sound A30 and phono stage, and am seeking a high efficiency speaker to work with the amp. I am hoping to audition the Asparas soon.
