Why not horns?

Personally i would like to hear Earl's stuff , it would be interesting to say the least, put the science to the test so to speak !

Really would like to see them stand up to a real world test..

How so? Of course I have made many compromises but that's not one of them. My mid-tweets are delayed so I am time aligned.

I've heard many Thiels and countless other box speakers. The bass is not as good and you can't dispute that unless you have heard the alternative.. I bet there aren't a handful of people here who have actually heard a front loaded bass horn of sufficient length and size like mine to properly produce a bass note.. Raise your hands....I'm not talking about rear loaded horns like the folded horns that most Lowthers are mounted in.. Sorry, there is a difference.

Of course there are those who are convinced every bass note will sound like it is coming from a sousaphone. I find that very amusing.

Herman, not all Thiels produce the same bass either.

You are correct sir !!

However, if you dismiss all horns because you believe they have similar qualities that make them all sound bad then you must believe all box speakers produce sound with similar qualities. Not the that they all sound the same, but a driver in a box is a driver in a box and there is only so much you can do to mitigate that.

HONK !!!

HONK !!!

I doubt it also.

Hopefully that is not required in order to do it right else the future of horns does not look any brighter.
