Why not horns?

Mr DB,

I heard the Jadis setup both at the show and at Lyric, never said anything about my ears being better than yours or anyone else, I'm merely commenting on a system's dynamics vs loudness, well that was my attempt anyway .. LOL. nothing about the quality of ears...

regards,

Horns will always sound like hi-fi, never real , they project sound in a manner where all instruments and voices have the same projection and size.

With all due respects you are talking out of your
unwiseASS.

Agree with gawdbless on this making bold all encompassing statements. Sad part of it all is the huge disservice these types due to audio by keeping people with limited experience from trying something new. Since they read the all this is that or that is only for hi-fi not music or all this does that. Just BS anyone with experience can see but those new will just take this as fact. And its not just horns TT CD SET PP SS amps Ribbons Planar STATs cones domes all have detractors. I see this daily in forums all [insert name here] users are deluding themselves only the [insert name here] is capable of accurate music reproduction. Have a open mind for once remember no absolutes, nothings perfect and if you do not like something does this now means that its crap for all? Or maybe you just do not enjoy it ever think of this? Maybe you never owned a recently constructed horn so your listening bias is from casual listens not real hands on experience. I for one know its possible to design very good sounding accurate loudspeakers of most any design and transducer type so why not with horns?
