$22,000 base... $7000 for real wood veneer? 10k for better vox driver? $40K ? Out of reach for most of us ......
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned? They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own. So why such hate? As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases. But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

Speakers like that are in essence showpiece works of art that also usually happen to sound pretty good. Not all that much to spend really for a showpiece if that is the kind that is up one’s alley. For those like me on a budget there is always something like this: http://www.saksoff5th.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442303149&site_refer=... |
Speaker looks like a Carfrae big horn http://img.ukaudiomart.com/uploads/large/1337456-carfrae-big-horn-speakers.jpg |
After a couple of weeks with my Klipsch Heresy IIIs, I can say without a doubt that they are great speakers. Partnered with well designed other crap (specifically wires, gizmos, doodads, tweaks, etc.), they sing, and I think the woofer is loosening up (Emincence drivers in my experience, mostly with bass speakers, take a bit to get their mojo…I have an Ampeg cab with a retro 15 that needed prodding)…I put them on 1.5" or so butcher blocks with my Vibrapods (previously used with my Silverline Preludes), and listen to them using my ears. |
