Has anyone noticed that one of the great (audiophile) loudspeakers in the world right now is an updated Lansing Iconic ?! It's the Shindo Latour and it hails from Japan. It's been discussed on audiophile webzines and the listening impressions have been stellar, to say the least.

Horns in general are coming back to hi-fi. Shindo Labs is one but there are at least 16 other co. making true compression-based designs right now, at least in the audiophile market. I don't know about the pro audio market. Exciting !!

Many "best of show" (CES) awards went to another rear-loaded horn co. last year - Sunny. These are now used as a reference by some serious audiophiles !! And Klipsh's new Palladium series looks very promising as well.....

Just thought I'd share my findings (as an audiophile) on this forum. Thanks !!
