Why not horns?


I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use horns?

Oh and speltz anticable speaker cables.
The TT , SUT jumpers and IC's are all incognito,
The other IC's and all powercords are DIY.
This system has evolved, after 6 amps, countless speakers,
And cd players, transports, DACs, and ancillaries this is it!
For now.
Macrojack, exactly what components are in your horn system? As stated not everyone is a horn fan but to be educated it would help if people would list which horn systems they think are good.
Seadogs1 - Take some time and read through this thread. I know it's long but there is a lot of info in it that will answer your question.

My horns are AH300 by Acoustic Horn Company. I am using B&C DCX 50 compression drivers. These are mounted atop a pair of JBL L-200 cabinets which contain RCF L15P530 woofers. Crossover, etc. is handled by an XTA 224. I think they are good.
Macrojack, the new improved BOSE 901's sounds very very Horn-Like now. BOSE is now using different speaker drivers for their new 901's that just came out a few months ago. "One of the best" and a "future classic" that we will talk about for a long long time !!...
So horns sound like Bose 901s. I guess that settles it :-)

To trell the truth I like my 901s in my swimming pool room, but they won't get in to my living room.
