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?

My observation with Walsh drivers like those in the OHMs is that they excel most on a good system with recordings that have a lot of mid-range energy. The large surface area of the Walsh driver available for conveying midrange compared to most other drivers is the reason I believe.

Big band and large brass ensembles is where this is most evident. I find many Duke Ellington recordings to be absolutely mesmerizing, for example. The power dynamics and brashness of the orchestra just come through in full bloom within a huge soundstage where everything is laid out perfectly for digestion with relatively little or no fatigue even at high volumes. No easy trick, even for horns!
Finally making sense gawdbless :)

looks like the Germans will take it all the way, such was their domination over Argentina. At times it appeared they had 22 on the field, such was their coverage.

BTW, still no horns for me.

I did not bid on the nearby Heresy's this past weekend mainly because my Triangle monitors are working out quite nicely in the sunroom at present so I was not motivated to pull the trigger to try something different.
Mapman, I never put my 2 cents in on that thread, but the Heresy gives one a "small" taste of what a horn is all about. One will try something different when a system no longer does for them what they want it to do. Enjoy...
