Horning Speakers Good or Great

Hi
I'm interested in hearing about opinions about Horning Speakers. Would they work well in a room 11x18 and close to the walls

I've auditioning varous speaker desgins and the Hornings are a speaker I would like to know more about
Unfortunately I have no way of listening to these myself and looking for public opinion

My sonic preferences are a very natural sound and highly musical presentation. Ideally the speaker would have a small footprint

Bass while important,lack of deep low end can be compromised provide the speaker is both highly musical and natural sounding

Personally, I think Horny speakers are Great, though they can sound a bit too Hot if you use solid-Stating amplification...

Plato,
For the record i'm using Valves as Amplification
Would these work well in a medium sized room and close to the walls ?

Hi Musicfile,

Sorry about my earlier flippant response. Actually, I'm not very familiar with the Horning speaker line. I can say that most horn-type speakers seem to favor tube amplification.

I assume you're intending to put the speakers on the short 11-ft wall. They may work all right like that, but I'd definitely contact the manufacturer to get their thoughts on the matter.

Good luck to you!

Hello Musicfile.

First of all horning speakers are not horns...they are a special double tarnsmision line shared by a big woofer in the back and a whizzerless lowther speaker on front crossed to a tweeter at about 6khz.

I only listened to them at the RMAF once, I liked them but IMHO they were missing the vibrance lowthers are known for.

Anyway I love horns, so take that as biassed...
