Why not horns?

Well I can't be the judge of that- I have no idea what the waveform looks like once its in the air. But compared to a pile of speakers that are supposed to be pretty good at that sort of thing I don't find good horns to be lacking.

I find bad horns to suck and not under consideration for HiFi. I don't blame you for not liking horns. I think I mentioned before that they had to win me over, and to this day when I see horns I'm not familiar with I tend to be skeptical.

IOW, Like everything else in high end, its all in the execution.

One dam good thread!!

Atmasphere, until recently I didn't think that horns could possibly be capable of waveform fidelity. I am very happy to read, that it is now being addressed. Still, there are other concerns that keep me from being too optimistic.

"Waveform Fidelity". Is that the name of an insurance company? A bank? Is it somebody else we have to bail out?

Or is it a meaningless term?

Damned if I know. Anyway the problem? seems to have been resolved to your satisfaction. So what other concerns keep you from being too optimistic? And what is it we should want you to be optimistic about? If horns aren't for you, that's fine. I certainly don't want you to feel any pressure to conform. If you're happy where you are, you are a rare and blessed audiophile. Most are overwhelmed by curiosity and driven to pursue some phantasmagorical absolute sound. If you have no such compulsion, don't apologize. You hold an enviable position in the audiophile hierarchy.
The question was "Why not horns?" and you have answered as completely as anyone. Perhaps I should have asked "Why Horns?" instead.

The best horn I have heard to date, which has just been solidly reiterated by me recently been listening to my Impulse H1's (Aspara Acoustics same people)for the first time in over 4 years, it has just dawned on what I have been missing for these past years whilst living and loving the US, my usual speakers Oris 150's are good speakers, but not a patch on the H1's in terms of everything with the exception of bass depth.
Having heard the Acapella's, Classic Audio T's etc, none are as musically involving as my long time departed H1's.
So when I head back to the US they will be shipped over for sure, whatever the cost. Sorry for ranting on, but in horn terms from what I have heard they are the mutts nuts, and are comparable musically (deep breath, hand on heart) with any speaker at any price that I have heard and possibly musically streets ahead of many.
Only from what I have heard and am now hearing with my ears again folks. Sheer bliss.
In my personal case its 'not horns?, why'?
