Why not horns?

Hello Learsfool,

My comments was not meant to be derogatory to musicians. Worked with and for many in the past, My comments were nothing more than to differentiate the experience between audiophile and musician ...

The recorded medium ...

macro,

You're starting to sound a bit like a broken record and a bit "shouty" like some horns as well.

Also, everyone knows the Borg have no need for speakers or acoustics in general, much less horns to communicate their musical information patterns. So Borg like, maybe, but not Borg for sure.

Macro, you seem to be all shot in the butt with "experts." Why should I believe Bill Woods web site any more than I believe other horn maker's web sites. He says his way is best. DUH! What would you expect him to say. If you visit other horn maker's sites they will say their way is best. Go to a planar web site and find out why that approach is the best. Go to a box maker's site and find out why that approach is the best. You aren't going to convince anybody by posting over and over that if we would just visit his site we would find the truth about the holy grail.

Bill Woods web site is nothing more than a big advertisement for his products which is as it should be. That's not a bad thing but accepting his hyperbole as fact just because he is an "expert" and tells us how wonderful his products are is rather silly.

.

Gotta give macro a lot of credit for starting a very active thread though. Lots of posts over the last month or so but surprisingly mostly from just a handful of willing participants. Also, I'd like to see more info from other horn product gurus, makers and affectionados to add a bit more variety.

For example, if I were interested in testing the waters with something not too expensive at first, like a Klipsch Heresy III, what other designs should I be considering for similar application and why in that price range?

Mapman,

I think many more would join, fair discussion is usually game, Unfortunately Macro views dissension as being hostile and reacts in that manner...

Macrobaby , The condecension is not necessary , we understand that you and others like the sound of this type of horn, It's audio, It's part of the game. Maybe an explanation as to why a straight flare with rolled edges ala Avante garde is inferior to a dodecagon as used by Mr Woods and Weiss...

Maybe Herman can comment on this also as he has Avante garde's speakers...

Regards,
