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?

Presently, I have neither the time nor the inclination to get caught up in the technical bantering, but other than that, I find myself in full agreement with Prdprez's position regarding horns on this thread.
Mrd.,
Great post. I feel the same about my Klipschorns as you do about your LaScalas. At the pricepoint these sell for used ($2K) it's hard to beat them. They simply offer things that other designs I've heard and owned do not.
I haven't tweaked mine as much as you - Rewired with solid core copper wire, new crossovers, reinforced the wall corners they sit in, and sealed to the wall corners. Small room with SE tube amps for me.
You say there's no looking back, but I just might go back to non-horns one day just because there are many ways to enjoy good sound.
Cheers!
Unsound - Both of you are acting like petulant children insistent about your inalienable right to remain willfully ignorant. Who can argue? You have that right.
But why not do so quietly? Neither of you has said anything to move this thread forward and neither has provided anything more than unsubstantiated and/or anecdotal comments. Have you done your homework? Have you read the brief article I suggested? Has anyone here read it?

If you are not interested in horns and have a practical reason, please share it.
Many cannot afford the money or space. We have acknowledged that. They sound like horns. Some do - not all. What other objections can you raise?

I'm not interested in baseless opinions. I don't need any more input from individuals who aren't interested in anything outside their own ego space. If you need to be right, you are in the wrong place.
"there are many ways to enjoy good sound."

Now, as with most good things, that is the truth!

Audiophiles frustrate me quite often when they assume a narrow view of what can constitute good sound! No wonder they are a dying breed!
Sebrof...by saying you might go back to non horns tells me that something is not right. Klipschorns work in a corner for bass output and extension, but I prefer non corner placed speakers, saying I like the Lascala over the Klipschorn. IMHO. Thanks,Mrd
