David
Haigner's Rho, his "budget" 2 way horn
speaker design was excellently reviewed in the German High End
magazine "Image Hifi" (No. 82, 4/2008) by Roland Kraft.
Although 90 dB efficiency only, Mr. Kraft found this easy to drive
speaker the right partner especially for tube amps between 6 and 15 watts.
Another
Rho test in the highly regarded internet audio magazine 6moons.com
is forthcoming. I will keep you updated...

Because
music rules: I have decided to stay with my old car, a 1990 BMW 318,
and instead order David Haigner's forthcoming horn loudspeaker
system, the Gamma. I can't wait to get the speakers this winter and
will definitely report on my experience... (Meanwhile, feel free to
check out Mr.Haigner's
new website)

A
review of David Haigner's Beta Horn LS system can be found in the
German audio magazine LP (issue 1/2008) and the review does these
awesome speakers justice. If you live in Germany, Switzerland or
Austria and you like horn systems, go for this issue of the LP magazine.
Please
note: The efficiency of 93dB/W/m stated in the review is incorrect!
The measured efficiency of the Beta horns is 96dB/W/m.
