Horn speakers are really bright?


So I’m trying to understand why so many people think klipsch or horn speakers are bright 

I have two  set up garage and living room both with horn speakers EPIC CF4 garage and and KLF 30 mahogany living room  

I have recorded this songs with my iPhone  listen to them and feel free to tell me what you don’t like about them
 by the way I don’t have any room treatment

I’m not going to do anything to them  just removing from inside the speakers in others to do the bracing properly or maybe it will be easy to work around it  

actually I removed my CF4 V2 crossover and send it  Crites to rebuild it 

CF4 crossover is very complicated no replacement 

 

Does this sound bright?

 

It depends on how you tune it.

 

I use Pap c1 active crossover and biamping to drive Altec A7

 

Good luck1

I bought crites sight unseen.  I  use Pass Xa25 with Khozmo passive.   If the system is harsh, it is the recording.  However, I am talking about checking out crossover updates.  

Comparing the sound of your recordings to the direct file of the same music on headphones I get the impression of a lack of vocal presence, too much bass and highs. In my own experience I've found this can sound very nice on some music and especially at lower volumes. 

I have a pair of Horns by Autotech Atmosphere MK2 and find them soft.  Extremely detailed but just a little too soft for my liking in my living room.  However, for smaller rooms, I'd say they're near perfect for my needs.  No fatigue or harshness whatsoever.
