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?

Kosst  {Are you trying to tell me the hideous, honky, plastic horns JBL and Klipsch sell at Best Buy are great examples of horns and proof that horns are widely desired?} No that is all in your mind {  I love to bring over people who own that Best Buy JBL and Klipsch crap and park them in front of my 936’s. It always leaves them lusting.}  I highly doubt you ever have or ever will do that{ You seem to be under the impression that the general public is well aware of $10,000 speakers and is discriminating in their tastes} No I am not.  Kosst  many logic errors personal biases and down right BS in what you post good luck with that.

Kosst {I think their general behavior and theory is fundamentally flawed} in what ways are horns fundamentally flawed? you can think this all you want but its just a bias unless you have facts to support this bold claim. Kosst{ Logic suggests if I can't find them, nobody is trying to sell them because nobody wants to buy them} again non sequitur a logic failing  And this gem-Kosst{  And yeah, I'm absolutely biased against them }  Bias is prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.  You invalidate your arguments with non sequitur and self admitted bias.
