Horns: Why don't they image well?


Anyone have a theory?

For me MrD, I want to see every movement visually, when Miles turns slightly left or right or even facing up then down blatting away on that horn and imagine those fingers moving up and down those valves, as the sound and the visual gives me the complete experience, this is why I opt for big ESL's. 
Or I suppose I could sacrifice that and have TV between the speakers to make up for the visual side and play dvd music discs.
For me not just a wall of sound where the trumpet seems to be an edge-less 8ft tall and wide, same goes with singers mouths, I can get that far cheaper yet not as nice from used Bose 901’s this is where the tv would come in handy.

George, you can't be serious ? You truly believe that an ESL does not change / exaggerate the image size, and that it is the only design that can show the head movement of Miles. Contrary to what you believe, you are mistaken. However, to each his own. I suggest you listen to that Miles recording I spoke about, and please, get back to me. Enjoy ! MrD.
kosst, I implore you, as well, to listen to that Miles recording, through your F5 / Focal 936 system. If you do not hear compression, then I question your hearing ability, or your audio knowledge of what compression is. I cannot say it any other way. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Um I was just trying to point out that the m2/4367 use a different horn waveguide and as such would sound a lot different than la scalas or smith horns. I have always enjoyed and respected georoge's posts, and I have no doubt that audio psychic convey a better imaging stage compared to older horn designs.
