Why not horns?

Popularity is not synommous with quality. Horns have been around a long time, for a number of reasons. Perhaps, because of early amplifier limitations and/or perhaps because much like today, they work well for creating great volume for great spaces. It would appear to me, at least on this thread, that there doesn't seem to be a consensus by horn enthusiasts as to; when exactly a horn is implemented properly. Perhaps when that can be determined, the horn haters will give horns yet another chance. Till then, your ill mannered upper case insulting shouting doesn't improve the quality of your argument, it compromises it.

Good show Dave ........ LOL and very correct !

I'm glad I gave up my audiophile card long ago, because thats when music became fun again. My Apogee dipole panel speakers are fun to listen to, and so are my horns (Klipsch).

My Bose 901's out in the garage are also fun....and so are my big old ugly VMPS Supertower/R's.

When I was an audiophile, I rarely found music or speakers that were fun, and once the fun was gone......so was I.

After around 5 years I came back for another try, and with a new goal......."Don't worry, be Happy"....and have fun!

Unsound, I agree his posts are hard to read but your point isn't specific to horns and really has nothing to do with how they sound.

here doesn't seem to be a consensus by horn enthusiasts as to; when exactly a horn is implemented properly. Perhaps when that can be determined, the horn haters will give horns yet another chance.

Look how many variations there are with box speakers like you have. Once the box speaker enthusiasts reach a consensus I'll give them another try.

Herman, While all systems deserve considerations regarding placement, associated gear and room treatment, I don't remember box speaker, or for that matter any other speaker design enthusiasts making such prerequisite qualifications. Are properly implemented horns that rare?

Unsound,
