Why not horns?

"A horn does not require a 250W amp." I hope that was meant to be sarcastic. ;-)

Sarcastic, not at all, why would you need a 250W amp with a high efficiency speaker like a horn? I use an 8W amp with mine but it is a bit of overkill.

I hope you horn enthusiasts are enjoying the world cup. Gives you a headache!

Having heard many horn systems in all sorts of varying set-ups I would say that my friend has managed to optimize his to a far greater degree than any other. So I would say, yes, he has done what was "right".

The size of the amp on the basshorns has nothing to do with what they require. Incidentally, it's 2x 250watts. One for each 12in. driver.
And while it's not a true full horn it is neither a flared opening. But by the time you triple them up you've arrived at pretty much the same place, I would assume.

I know he loves them and has managed to produce the best sound I've ever heard in a horn. And I know many others who love horns. But it's just not for me I guess.

El. he had a headache after the show. Pinning the cause down to a single room at the show seems a bit of a stretch to me.

Prez, that still doesn't mean he had it optimized, and it isn't anywhere near the same place as a horn no matter how many you stack up.
