Why not horns?

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.

Dan_ed, I'm sorry, but, once again I'm not sure who you're refering to. The the post I made re: the things I learned, referenced things posted directly on this thread.

That was my answer to your post

Dan_ed, it might helpful if you put a user-name to those quotes.

I completely agree with your list of what you have learned on this thread. How could I not? :-)

At least for me, that 6moons link, just illustrated more reasons; "Why not horns?". I want to spend time listening to my system, not table saws. For those that enjoy all that, well good for them. Perhaps, I'm mistaken, but it appeared that many involved in that project were more than just possibly retired, and if so, might have more available time than those who are not retired. I will admit that there is something appealing about custom made speakers designed for a particular room, but, the commercial viability of something like that looks (at least to me) limited. With satisfactory products that I can actually audition before committing to, I have neither the time or inclination to bother with such a project.

I've got time but no inclination. I put my speakers together almost without tools. I did have to drill a couple of screw holes to mount the horns above the bass cabinets. Also used a screwdriver to change out the woofers and a wire stripper for bare speaker cables. Bass horns are not a realistic consideration for me for a variety of reasons but I would love to have a pair like Herman has if logistics ever permit.

That article was entertaining and informative for me. I fantasize about adopting such a project but I have enough self-awareness to know that I lack the enterprise, tools, and the tactile skills to ever pull it off.

In all probability I'm done with speaker upgrades.

And I have nothing to sell in the area of horns. I do have excess amplifiers, etc. but those can wait.

I started this thread because my horns have so far exceeded my expectations that I'd like to spread the news. I'm not drumming up business for Bill Woods. He's so busy that he has stopped taking new orders. So the only person apt to benefit from my recommendations is you. I'm willing to demonstrate mine in Colorado and Oswald's Mill is showing them in Manhattan. Some of you probably heard these horns at RMAF a couple years back. If you get the chance, check them out.
