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?

Holland through to the final.................
Has anyone noticed, well for that are interested anyway,
how long the players celebrate the goal when one is scored?
seems like they are having a 'time out', or is it a new way of time wasting?

Horns have bass.
Interesting that soccer should come up in this thread, because like soccer Horns or planers, stats, etc. are a matter of taste. Trying to convince someone who does not like horns that they should like horns is like trying to convince someone who does not like soccer that they should like soccer...a tough sell to say the least. And like the many other sports that we all have available to us, so too do we have other types of speakers.

3 things I learned about soccer during this year's World Cup:
1. It's a lot of fun to watch, and we in the US are fools not to join the party, at least once every 4 years (I don't mean participating with a team, I mean fans paying attention. For every minute of WC news coverage, there's 10 minutes of where will Lebron James end up).
2. The stereotype of the soccer player taking a dive and pretending he's injured is not true. It's way worse than that.
3. I hated instant replay, particularly in American football because it stops the game and destroys momentum looking at every play under a microscope. If what I've seen during the World Cup is the alternative, bring on the microscope!
Pass up Klipsch buy Altecs. Only reason so many suggest Klipsch is they made allot of home loudspeakers. So more have experienced the poorer performing Klipsch models. But I know you will not listen enjoy your Klipsch. Keeps Altecs more affordable for folks in the know. So ya buy Klipsch forget Altec leave those for me.
The three top Klipsch Heritage models are wonderful. The Klipshorn, Lascala and Belle all deserve to be listened to. The midrange horn throats are properly designed and do not give you that "honk" sound that you might get from Altecs(at a reasonable listening distance). My experience with Altecs and many other horn designs with large throats(not all)is that you need to be a good distance away from them. It is unfair to say pass up Klipsch. Many people, including myself, enjoy them . I am in no way suggesting that Altecs are bad or inferior. I have heard them good and bad. I also have heard the Heritage series sound bad(not when I got through with them). I am standing by the 3 Heritage models I mentioned in defense. Although I like the Cornwall and Heresy somewhat, I do dot think they are in the same category. So there you have it !
