Speaker Safari

[SEAWOLF97]

Congrats Seawolf.

Do you still have your 4412s? Once you've refoamed the Horizons I'd be interested in your A/B impressions, if you'd be inclined to do such a comparison.

Went on safari today and brought nothing home ( to PhilCCA's joy) - did pay for a large pair of CV's that wudnt fit in the car, so gotta pick them up with the truck Saturday.

Fangio-

As you know the L166 & 4412 are very similar. 3 ways- same layout.

my impressions: 066 hf has a bit wider dispersion and sounds just as good as the 035tia....mids are about the same.

I think the L166's 122a-1 sounds better to me, a little tighter, and maybe goes a little lower. The 4412 seems to image a little better.

The cabinets are a tossup. The twist locks on the L166's stink, will be replaced today.

Grills are a subjective thing. I like the retro 3D grills of the Horizons.

IF they were the same price, and you asked me 100 times....I would go with the L166 51 times and the 4412 48 times and 1 = I dunno.

Funny thing is.....I sold the 4412's for EXACTLY 100 times (100X) the amount that I paid for the L166's.
