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?

loudspeakers transfer energy within the medium[air], does not transfer mass

JohnK, I might be mistaken, but I thought horns were used more to monitor pop recordings and typical dynamic speakers were preferred for classical recordings.

O.K. you guys- Springsteen's gone - get those wimpy horns out of here and bring in the typical dynamic speakers - we've got a string quartet to record in less than 2 hours.

Or a symphony orchestra with real imaging to capture, and it will probably take much longer than 2 hours to record.
