Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

Siegfried Linkwitz is the guy out there making foolishness out of all the "narrow dispersion is good" silliness. Maybe it's good in a PA, but not a living room. This crowd here deliberately avoids and ignores anything that disagrees with their OPINIONS. That's the source of this controversy.

I'd be careful about making the association between 'narrow dispersion' and 'all horns'. I've had various box and planar speakers; my current setup uses horns and images as well as anything I've heard. My living room is about 15' wide.

I cannot believe the horn troll is still at it. Gee, maybe I should listen to her, and get rid of my modified Klipsch Lascalas. NOT !

Whatever Klipsch was thinking about when designing the current version of the Heresys, they got it right. I'm sensitive to coherence in speaker systems as that's the most important quality for my tastes, and these speakers are absolutely coherent, as well as having great dispersion qualities…better phase plugs? Better horn throat design? Better care in manufacturing as Hope, Arkansas wants to spread happiness everywhere? I've said before that the way speakers actually sound is important to me (!), and I'm picky about this stuff. 

Reminds me of the Rolling Stone review of a great Neil Young album years ago (I think it was "After the Gold Rush")…they utterly panned it but later it was recognized as brilliant and sold a zillion copies. Somebody wrote in and thanked the reviewer for saving him from wasting any more than the many hours he'd already spent enjoying the album. So yeah, sorry but those La Scalas gotta go man…they're an insult to all things Linkwitz.
