Beautiful Horn Loaded Wood Horn Tweeter Speakers. These are the 3-ways with a second order cross-over, that is almost invisible. It is very difficult to get up and stop listening to these. They do everything right with all the detail of a horn without the harshness sometimes associated with horns. The wood horn is specially designed to reduce air noise typically found in horn tweeter. That and they look cool.
We first heard these over 2 years ago and instantly fell in love with the look and sound, but speakers had to wait then as we focused on our tube amps. Now we have them and so can you. If you've been thinking of upgrading your speakers (from just about any price) you should consider the GF-H1 / Shengya V-518 tower speakers for large size rooms, if you need something smaller, then look at the GF-H2 / Shengya V-218.
This speaker is a perfect match for our 300B tube amps and most other amps too. The amount of detail these speakers present is stunning. You will hear things you have never heard before in your music, while maintaing a natural and balanced sound, quite the achievement.
Also note in the picture it shows the GF-H1 / Shengya V-518's sitting beside a pair of B&W 801D's, that retails for more than $20k. To our ears there was no comparison, the GF-H1's are a much better sounding speaker. This was in a $250k very large soundroom, so room size didn't come into play, with 600w per Channel Hybrid Mono Blocks powering both sets. System synergy come into play, but about 1/10 the cost of the B&W's plus a much higher Wife Appreciating Factor, we suggest that you may want to try the GF-H1's. Pictured is the original speaker designer on the right and my 'other' set of ears Rick for the trip to factory on the left.
If you have never experienced horn speakers yet, these Shengya horn speakers are affordable to get into it and experience the music details you have never heard before. Many horn speakers are at $6000+ price range and this is about half of that price. You will need a decent sized room to allow the horn to show its full potential - if you own a 300B tube amp, these are perfect mate for your amp :)
