Why not horns?


I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use horns?

Macrojack, I thought I explained what "wavefrom fidelity" was in a previous post. I'm happy horn fans are addressing it, I'm not sure that it has been resolved to my satisfaction. The very concept of a horn suggests to me a distortion creator. I'm not completely satisfied with audio reproduction as it currently exists. I just think other design considerations might hold much more promise, such as the German Physiks carbon fibre DDD.
Macrojack:

Could you name the Horn Speakers that you consider to be good sounding ?
