In Reply to: RE: REVIEW: Tekton Design Lore Speakers....You could diy around B102 posted by freddyi on July 29, 2017 at 15:42:05
Wow, somebody who knows who Wunderlich is!
Got 4 or 5 LPs and some CD operas with him. One of the most gorgeous lyric tenors of any era.
Too bad he got drunk that time.

Follow Ups:
yeah - bad fall - its a lot of fun to watch him too - one video with Kurt BI like a lot of the singers of the past - for tenors- Rosvaenge, Tauber, Wittrisch, Schock, Fillipeschi, Dermota, Peerce, Richard Lewis, Pears, Taccani, Pertile, Gigli, Nelepp,Kozlovsky and of course, Del Monaco
Patzak and Traxel were very good. Heinz Rehfuss singing Bach and Mahler - very good
in case you somehow aren't familiar with Armenian baritone Pavel Lisitsian Here's A GOODLY SAMPLE OF HIS SINGING

Now that we've hijacked this thread.....LOL!
You're much more of a connoiseur of older singers than I am! I'm more with the singers I grew up listening to. Thanks for the Lisitsian. I had only read the name, never heard him. God knows the Prologue is hard enough in Italian. Impressive. My fav version is Cornell MacNeil from about 1959.
Given tenors, I usually go with the Italians but that's just me. Surprised you didn't include Corelli, my fav. Yeah, he could be a train wreck musically but wow!
Cheers!

lol - am too old and tired to type -Corelli was something else and really great - with videos available, he seemed very good on stage despite stage fright - for what little its worth, I like Mario Del Monaco's tone better (judging only from recordings). Gobbi was great - Tibbet - - Bob Merrill too - too - almost forgotten about Cornell McNeil as haven't listened for years. Protti is someone I've come to like very much - (best somersaults !)With Youtube, we can hear Ruffo, Granforte, and a bunch of once famous singers at a click
here's one older recording that should be fun
btw - those Lore sure give a lot of driver value for a low price

Thanks for the link! Yeah, and Leonard Warren.
A close friend who had a nice career at the Met and elsewhere tells me the story that MacNeil used to torment Corelli, who was, of course, easily tormented. In the dressing room next to Franco, Mac would voalise to high C(!) and Corelli would get all bent and refuse to go on. At least until they placated him.
Yeah, the Lore is built like a tank with a very nice finish. Can't believe the 1K price and you don't have to search for a ton of watts to drive the things. So far, so good.

Great story !!!! (-hope you are cataloging them for posterity) how 'bout Del Monaco ?? - did he come to the Met? - wonder how touchy he may have been ?? I've never been to a full live opera - not listened much for a long time eitherhere's someone way cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogWdRFrJmWM
Your Lore must have over $400 just in drivers - then add cabinet, labor - amazing pricing -
