Nathan vs Leslie

So I just wanted everyones opinion on what they like.

To be honest im not big fan of Leslies train horns. The ship horns is a different story.

I just dont get what the big deal is, like iv listened to countless recordings and they just dont sound that appealing. Like compared to a old cast P sieres, which is so nice I could almost fall asleep to it… Then theres a leslie which is just a kick in the eggs is sounds so harsh. I guess im just picky and what something thats sweet ear candy.

then theres the m5 which i drool over haha

I just love the sound of an RS5T - especially from a distance they just seem to have a real “trumpet” tune. I still reckon that’s my next big horn purchase but I’ll probably save up so I can get a K5 at the same time. I just wish there was more stuff locally here because postage is a killer!

I’m not real big on the Leslies.
No offense to anyone, it’s just a personal preference.

Leslies need a lot of air. I think that’s what spoils a lot of the youtube videos.
10 gallons of air, minimum. :eek:

Leslies are MUCH more commanding and are hella louder! And who says Leslies can’t sound beautiful? This video alone shows exactly what is so great about Leslies.

And in terms of loudness and harshness, this video shows it off perfectly. You don’t hear it through the video, but the reactions pretty much give a good idea on how much more powerful Leslies are when running through the same plumbing as Nathans.
