Why not horns?

Unsound,

I thought I remember you saying something along the line that you would never have horns in your house or something to that effect. I could be wrong.

Assuming so, I'd say the deck does not count as IN your house, but once they get that close, who's to say what's next?

FWIW I have Realistic Minimus 7s on my deck. These are wall mounted and just out of reach of direct exposure to the elements. They also run off my main system. Horns would definitely not fit there for me!

Some might say bigger than life.

Some of the very best loudspeakers I've ever heard and some of the worst –where horns

I had the opportunity to listen to the BD design swing horns both in RMAF 2008 and in Europe.
This is simply a wonderful speaker
One of the best out there

Yep! - That is a question one might legitimately raise and I think your priorities would temper your feelings about it. That and the music you favor. Amplified music of any kind is probably outside the scale argument but small acoustic stuff might well be misrepresented by some horns. I don't think I could fault my horns in that regard. Does any other horn owner have a problem with larger than realistic presentation?

"Some of the very best loudspeakers I've ever heard and some of the worst –where horns"

I fall into that category as well.

"Does any other horn owner have a problem with larger than realistic presentation?"

What does "larger than realistic" mean? Some examples?
