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?

W,
old fruit,are you sure you were not in politics rather than hi-fi? you seem to duck and dive, bob and weave around questions better than a boxer!, the pugilistic kind rather than the canine.
TKO.

"too large footprint" is relative. I have plenty of room.

"poor bass" is just plain wrong. I bet you a donut I'm getting better bass from my horns than you are from those tiny Thiels.

Hi-fi sounding only c/w poor bass sounding horns?
sure seems like we have entered a silly season.
I like my horns (Impulse H1's and Oris 150's) simply because to my ears they have more good points that far outweight their minus points, but the most important factor is they make even the duffest recordings sound musical and very enjoyable, and of course well recorded music sounds sublime, and I am never embarrassed to play any cd that I own that a visitor may request.
Can you say the same?
