Hello,

I am just new in this forum, thanks for accepting me.

I am familiar with many kind of speakers, monkey boxes, planars, electrostatics, transmission line, coaxial, Heil AMT, KHL Nine and even Dr. Hills' Plasmatronics but for various reasons I have never listened to a horn loaded loudspeaker.

I listen to classical music and have a chance to buy either a pair of mint Valencia or a pair of model 19 in good condition. I also found other speakers that have been restored with new cones and/or surrounds and upgraded crossovers. This bothers me a little bit because I have the feeling that the magic is gone because of the mods.

There are many experienced members on this forum and I would really appreciate any advice you can give me.

Cheers,

Horacio
