Why not horns?

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.

"he's entitled to his opinion"

Yes, opinions are opinions but for any somewhat credible source to indicate that $1000 low end speakers from one line can match $21000 lower end models from another and higher end models selling for only a few thousand more outperform the $21000 speakers using a similar technology in every way is an eye opener that at least has to make one take notice.
