Why not horns?

Unsound - It goes without saying that horns are not for everyone. Can't you go without saying so?
I'm not able to promote the Unity. All I want to do is bring them to the attention of the many who seem to be unaware of the fact that good and desirable horns exist. Those, while not too pretty, do things that you will never get from a dome tweeter box. The design is crazy but the reports are strong and flattering.

Because of the introduction of petty nitpicking and sentence parsing, I suggested quite some time ago that I perhaps should have called this thread "Why Horns?". Would that have made a difference? Would you and Wiseass have withheld your negativity and your attitudes of primacy? Probably not.

You seem fair and rational and well informed. You could be helpful if that was your mien. For reasons that continue to elude, you choose the devil's advocate posture. Whatever floats your boat. Personally, I think the advocate would be looking to unseat the politically assisted, boringly consistent, ad and review driven names that contribute nothing much to the advancement of audio other than new cosmetics and higher prices.

For the most part pro audio delivers much more bang for the buck. Many of their products have no place in a home system but many others can successfully and advantageously cross pollinate. Let's see where that leads.

If it is not your cup of tea, let others enjoy it or at least explore it. Don't just dump it all in the harbor because you don't see much promise in the recipe you read.

Macrojack, perhaps you should consider Newton's third law: basically, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you tempered your posts in such a manner as to edit your biases e.g."...single distortionless driver.." "...seems like a no brainer...""..."...exposes the high end for the rip off it is..." etc.,etc., from appearing as absolutes, perhaps the discussion would appear less like a personal crusade and more like an intellectual forum. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't voice your subjective opinions, but when you do so, I suggest you frame them as such. I think you'd find that even the subjective discussion would be more objective, and you might feel less personally invested this discussion.

Unsound - The "distortionless driver" comment in my opening is hyperbole and you are not the first to call me on it. "seems like a no brainer" could be chastised as sounding kinda "valley girl" but it clearly stands as nothing more than opinion.
As for the "rip off" comment, I cannot apologize. I think that the pricing of many of the so called statement products are scandalous and most other stuff is unjustifiably priced.
Watt/Puppy 8 speakers are priced about the same as a loaded Camry. Let's not take a detour on that point, however. The only reason I mentioned it is because I think we can find better bang for our buck outside of the reviewer's boutique.

macro,

If I were you, I would temper my unwavering faith and passion with some more objectivity up front.

Objectivity will help get the facts people need to make decisions out on the table. Unwavering faith and passion alone might be persuasive to some, but the reality may come as a shock later.

Just my opinion....

Macrojack, there you go again. You use a small sample example to decry an entire industry. I don't suppose you'd say that for example the Vandersteen 2's are a rip off? Temperance my man. Ironically enough, part of my objection to horns are what I perceive to be their total poor cost to performance ratio.
