Horns: Why don't they image well?

Okay. But have you heard them?

Yes as I've said elsewhere on Agon, I've owned Lascala's, and Forte, a friend owned K-horns and Heresy, in a large converted warehouse. Enjoyable wall of sound all of them, but not precise visual image placement in-between and outside the speaker, and not much depth perception.

@georgehifi I asked have you heard m2/4367. Not all horns are created equal. The JBL patented waveguide used in the M2 and the 4367 is a different sort of beast from the other horns you've heard. Correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah it seems like youre saying you have not heard the m2/4367 and are lumping those horns with Klipsh.

That’s a BIG reason I own Focal. Every time I heard their speakers they were honest and imaged with startling depth, width, and dynamics.

A friend who owns a hifi shop, Len Wallis Audio had the Grand Utopia’s setup driven by Krells in the main room, I listened to them many times and yes, there is no way any horns or JBL’s (my friend had a pair of 4350’s and the very ugly Synthesis 1400), I’ve heard have come close to doing visual image placement in-between and outside the speakers and depth perception like these Focals could, or many ESL’s can either.

Never heard the 4367’s so I can’t comment on them. But looking at that 3" Mid/Highs driver with massive horn crossing over to a 15" at 700hz makes me curious.
