for the victory

I am writing this review in hopes of helping those like myself ,who were not willing to purchase horns,because of any number of reasons,the least being the "wife acceptance thing",who wanted to experience the magic of SET'S,without having to make too great a compromise,when it came to dynamics, volume, and bass.I purchased the VICTORY'S after owning a pair of 8ohm 90 db speakers,which for me ,left something to be desired ,when it came to enjoyimg my 45,and 2A3 triode amps.The Victory speaker allowed my SET'S to exhibit their purity of tone,a richness of textures,along with "AIR",and that psychedelic sense of presence that I just KNEW my amps were capable of.And with my Fi that uses a KR2A3....GREAT BASS. The 14ohm load allows my amps to sing effortlessly.The Victory has a ribon tweeter that blends in seamlessly with the 2 midrange diaphrams and 2 drivers.For those who just will not do the "horn thing",these are beautiful alternatives,for the flea powered amp crowd.
