Why not horns?

Herman -
If you are in the U.S. would it be too risky to provide the first 3 digits of your zip code? That way those of us who pose an acceptable risk could have an idea whether to consider further pursuit of the topic. I live in 81521 and I feel pretty certain you are too far away for me to visit as I seldom travel more than 50 miles from home.

Macrojack,

Let me give you a hint. The former Bronco quarterback now working in Chicago grew up close to Herman's current residence.

A hoosier!! Definitely beyond my radius. I haven't been that far east in almost 10 years.

Hi Terry, you are a known to be harmless wacko so welcome at any time :>) I had lunch with Nathan last month and he seems to be doing well. It would be nice to get the old gang together. I can accommodate a small crowd but need to get my wife out of town for a few days.

an admitted naive observation from a bachelor........

Why is it that we need to figure out ways to get the wifes "out of town" whenever we want to have a little audiophile fun? It seems to me that they don't plan on ways to get the men out of town whenever they have their little parties. To the contrary, they plan the party and we pretty much go running! LOL! (Hmmmmm. wait a minute!.........)

Back to the thread.... Why not horns? Well, because they sound like horns. My friend has meticulously set up his Trios with 3 pairs of bass horns in a dedicated and purpose built room with every little trick and room correction you could think of.
Mighty mighty impressive dynamics. Sometimes feels like I can hear the nose hairs moving in the recording. But ultimately only fun for a little while. I always come away feeling as though I have listened to a well constructed parlor trick rather than a live musical event.
