While the horns do add a lot of energy in the upper octaves, they are accurate, smooth, clean, and quite 3 dimentional. Horns do something unique in sound reproduction, like planar speakers (ie. Magnepan) the sound may not be for everyone however their devotees are dedicated to them. I should qualify that I am a former Magnepan owner and I like OTL amps too (specifically Atma-Spheres).:)

They are a very new design, something called spherical horns. As a rule I don't like horns, but these were very high quality and did some amazing things. Acapella

Also Doc Edgars? Any Back horns like Cain&Cain etc. You did the show pictures correct? If so very nice work.
