Why not horns?

OK, back on topic, German Physiks has a model that attempts to achieve full range with the DDD driver by horn loading it called the Unicorn.

Has anybody ever heard these? I always found a horn loaded Walsh driver to be a quite unique concept.

Here's a thread from last year that might shed some light on the subject. Please note the same few people chiming in then as now in behalf of horns. That indicates to me the need for a broader base of knowledge on the subject.Too few audiophiles are aware of the performance potential locked up in this technology.

I found this article that mentions both older and newer OHM Walsh designs compared to the German Physiks. The reviewer indicates that the $22000 German Physiks was no better than the $1000 OHMs. Go figure! They must have screwed up the horn part somehow! Horns are hard to do right, you know!

Mapman, those horn loaded German Physiks are at the lower end of the line for German Physiks. Their top tier products don't use horns. As for the reviewer, I have no idea who he is, but he's entitled to his opinion.

Macrojack, that link seems have started with regard to a driver, not horns in particular, though it did seem to drift there, at least in part to you.
