Why not horns?

'Thirteen pages of very, very little value. "

Well, for me, there is only so much can conclude about how something sounds by discussing it, even if in great technical detail.

You have to hear it. Unfortunately, a web site cannot provide any indication of what the stuff talked about really sounds like.

I learned a few things: some horn enthusiasts are interested in time coherence, some horn enthusiasts will use digital manipulation, some horn enthusiasts use high powered ss amps, many if not most of the horn enthusiasts on this thread use either custom or modified horns. While I'm not surprised that that would happen, I'm a bit surprised that it showed up in what I would imagine to be a small sampling.

Here's a link to a 6moons article about horns. If everybody who is still on board would read it, we might progress forward with a modicum of commonality. It's worth a try - and the article is very entertaining.

Yes, it seems there are two distinctive large camps of horn owners and then all the rest:

1) enthusiasts with custom horns
2) Klipsch owners (many that have also customized these themselves to some extent)

Unsound, I doubt that any of those folks have A'gon accounts. There is a big, wide, wonderful audio world out there and it doesn't revolve around Audiogon.
