    Default WTD: Beauhorn Virtuoso

    Hello, I've been intrigued by the Beauhorn Virtuoso's since hearing a pair briefly at Walrus in the early 2000's. At that time I had just bought a pair of Avantgarde Trio horns so didn't go any further. Now in a much smaller home I would love to find a pair in good condition. If anyone is reasonably close to the Isle of Wight and has a pair I could listen to that would also be good. David Whistance

    Heard a pair of Virtuoso’s at a Heathrow Show many years ago in a massive room. As I recal, they were driven by a pair of David Wright mono’s, alongside a pair of subs. Absolutely ‘Spellbinding’! I hope you find what you are looking for.

    The ultimate quality depends on which Lowther drivers are fitted. Good luck.

    Donald at musicarch/soundaid has some. They’re on eBay but I’d contact him directly. He’s a super bloke and you’ll struggle to find better customer service
