Dear @james633 : """
I have found I just like good old paper drivers and silk tweeters, in a damped box just fine. Often more than high tech items..""
I'm in agreement with you, as a fact my new " vintage " speakers in my today system came with: silk dome tweeters, silk dome mid ranges and pulp/paper woofers even my subwoofers were choiced because were the latest Velodyne models that came with pulp/paper woofers.
But in those silk/paper drivers exist no frequency limitations as in the horns and the horn limitation about is heavy one and goes against the MUSIC reproduction at home.
It does not makes sense to me that with all room/system different kind of limitations we add a heavy transducer frequency response limitations when the room/system chain per sé adds/lost MUSIC signal that originally came in the recording. As I said: makes no sense to me and this is not subjective but real, the IV specs talks by its self.
