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?

Somebody out there likes horns besides me.

Bill Woods is so busy he has had to stop taking new orders until he can catch up.

And as an aside, here's a very interesting speaker that will challenge a lot of beliefs and assumptions:

These will be a downgrade cosmetically for nearly everyone but an upgrade for most people in terms of sound. Not suitable for intimate settings, however. They are big and sound bigger. Reports from seasoned audiophiles are uniformly positive.
Here's a testimonial for the Unity Horn when it was available through DIY channels:

Here's a source randomly chosen from a Google search:

I urge all of you to do your own searches to learn more about this option. The pricing exposes high end audio for the rip off that it is.
"but an upgrade for most people in terms of sound."

In what way and based on what?

You are not just saying that because it uses a horn, are you?
Mapman - Dynamics and bass would be two obvious areas.

Before the masses go unhinged, please note the expression "upgrade for MOST people". I am not saying that everyone will find an upgrade here but I feel certain that few audiophiles have better bass than those four 15 inch woofers will provide and very few will match the dynamics of the Unity horn.
Lets just say that I'm reserving my enthusiasm, after all it's another PA system.
