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?

I still see Lascalas around under $1k. Altec A7 to me the better design also under 1k. Altec model 19s about 1.5k, K horns about 2.5k. All good loudspeakers lots of other options in horns under 1k if you buy used, pro-audio or vintage.

Someone is showing a great deal of immaturity, as well as showing up late in the game.

Noseplums - That depends on the horn. . . what is it made from? How large is it? Does the material seem to resonate when playing?

In general, I suppose the answer is yes, but coat the outside surface only. Coating the inside would alter airflow and corrupt your wave.
