Soundsreal if you change your you to I then I agree that is how you feel about horns and maybe you have a love hate thing going on. While I have owned a few horn systems that maybe were not the best for long term use. I tend to think a good amount about what I buy and since I have had so much hands on I know what works for me and how to get the best out of it once installed into a system. I tend to use loudspeakers that work best for the system synergy goal I have in mind and many times they are horns but not always. A horn is a tool and is just part of a total system.
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned? They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own. So why such hate? As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases. But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

Speakers like that are in essence showpiece works of art that also usually happen to sound pretty good. Not all that much to spend really for a showpiece if that is the kind that is up one’s alley. For those like me on a budget there is always something like this: http://www.saksoff5th.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442303149&site_refer=... |
