New A23 Hommage Ken loudspeaker
Just noticed on Pitch Perfects' website a newly introduced speaker by Auditorium A23. Designed in conjunction with Ken Shindo before his passing. Utilizes the LM 755A Alnico driver. Looks similar in design to the Petit Latour. Possibly another great loudspeaker to pair with Shindo gear

Re: New A23 Hommage Ken loudspeaker
I was all set to buy these until I heard the price. I have no doubt they are worth the price. I was just not prepared to go that deep. That is why I went with the Auditorium Hommage LM755 Alnico speakers.

Chris, congratulations! I had the Lafite for a couple of years and love them. I bet these are in the same ball park and look forward to hearing your critique once they arrive.

Re: New A23 Hommage Ken loudspeaker
good read i just followed a link from there to get to a review then followed another link to a 3 part review on 0/96's. all very interesting to say the least. i will get up to In Living Stereo in september and give a listen to what they have in stock. im very happy with my present setup and whats incoming, but i need speakers to go with it. my speakers are fine on low watts but im looking for my final pair.

Re: New A23 Hommage Ken loudspeaker
Just to think in terms of better or worse isnt always the right way to justify. Is there something like a best speaker?
There may be different concepts of real high quality LOUDspeakers available, but who is the judge to declare one concept to be superior to another? At the end, it boils down to a personal decision based on taste and listening preferences.

Re: New A23 Hommage Ken loudspeaker
Hey Logey,
Beautiful speaker. Forgive the stalkerish comments but I've been watching your speaker evolution from afar, mostly from the forums and audiogon/usaudiomart. I believe you had the O96, then Silverbacks, then these A23 Hommage a Ken. How have you been enjoying all these speakers? Not to mention, the mighty GM70s I saw on Audiogon a while back. You must have progressed through quite a few high sensitivity speakers and Shindo electronics that you would have an interesting perspective on the little world that is Shindo and the assorted matches, I'd love to hear your thoughts on all the equipment you've owned.
Good luck with all the changes!

Logey, would you like to comment on the differences between O96 and Hommage a Ken and maybe on your later speaker? What have you missed with the Ken?

One has a tweeter, the other has not. To the qualities of the 755 there is nothing more to add.
