Hello George - this is absolutely true. I have just about finished a speaker project which is based on the Soviet 15" cinema speakers from LOMO KINAP. I read that these are based on the Klangfilm design philosophy. Our very knowledgeable FM Rajiv also spoke highly of these. It was a long process of getting these speakers ready. So many hours of painstakingly tuning these to sound like these do, which is yummy. I complimented these with the Altec 288-Ks with Le-cleach horns and super tweeters which are crossed over quite high. Huge credit to Viren sir of Lyrita Audio to make this happen and being so patient. He considers the sound extremely well balanced and he considers it nothing short of the Altec 515s. In short it opened the doors of aural satisfaction for me. Realism are their forte. I will do a proper write up on these at a later stage. But the drive behind this project was to attempt a speaker which realizes the potential of alternative vintage brands like Kinap. These are built like a tank and I felt the huge Alnico magnets should perform well, so went ahead with it and I am glad I did.
