Calling all Horn lovers

Dynamics and that "jump" factor are two big reasons for me. When it all comes together, they just sound more real than other speakers.

I agree with Shakeydeal. After listening to horns, there are few speakers that I find have sufficient dynamic headroom. They give you the feeling that the sky is the limit dynamically; but of course, if the recording is compressed, it still sounds compressed. They can't create dynamic range, just reproduce it. The other part that I like is the speed. There is no sense of sluggishness.
What I like least about mine is the limited top end. I would love to add a pair of Townshend supertweeters. I think it would be amazing. Saving my pennies...

1. Extremely low distortion at the same SPL as other speaker types
2. Very realistic dynamics at both the loud and soft ends, and the loud can be achieved with a very low powered amp, too
3. Clarity, and great transient response, and accurate reproduction of subtle differences in timbre
4. They direct the sound where you want it to go, and keep it from going where you don't.
5. Placement is much easier than other speaker types, which can be much more fussy
6. Easier to drive - you can drive them with pretty much any amp you want
7. Very life-like presentation - you can feel the music

About the only negative I can think of is their size, if your room is small.
