Why not horns?

" the only place that I think I might consider horns, are out side on my deck"

Wow! From there, not much further to get into your house despite your pledge to contrary as well. Watch out! Macrojack must be getting to you!

JohnK, I'm not sure I do :-).

Mapman, what pledge?

Anything weather-proof enough for the deck would be far too ugly for the house.

Aside from the effortless clarity my horns provide, I guess the thing that impresses me so much is the way they move air. There is something large and lifelike in the wave that reaches me. I'm not fluent in audiospeak so I'm not sure I can convey my meaning but there is a crisp vitality and persuasive definition in every small ting and pluck and crack. All sounds are not only well defined but impossible to overlook. It's very lifelike, very here and now. I've never experienced this from any other speaker system to this degree.
