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?

JohnK. Thank you for your input. What we needed here on this thread are some horn lovers. So again, thanks. MrDb.
WTF was Herr Loewe thinking last night with his tactics? Jeez.! Now I am not saying I know footie better than him, but
he played a wait and break game, totally the wrong tactics IMHO, they (the Germans) needed to get on the ball and press , not sit back and let the Spaniards (possibly the most complete 'footballing' side at present) take control and dictate the pace of the game, the odds on keeping a clean sheet when Spain had so much of the ball is slim. Shame they waited until ther knock out stage to perform so badly and without direction, so un-Germanic.

Joke:
David Blain is said to be gutted because his record of doing sod all in a box has been beaten by Wayne Rooney.

I met a fairy the other day who granted me one wish,
I said 'I want to live forever'!
'Sorry' she said fairy I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that'!
'Fine' I said
'I want to die when England win the world cup'
'you crafty bastard ' said the fairy.
Maybe I'm too dumb to appreciate that humor or maybe those jokes aren't funny but either way I'd like to steer this discussion, if there is one, back to the opportunities and options that horns can provide.

It would seem that the guys who don't like horns were obstinate enough to chase away the few who do. Too bad.
Hi Macrojack - many of us cannot afford the current horn designs, even if they are "only" $5000. I think I paid about that for my entire modest system. No, it probably isn't the very best out there, and yes, I do wish I could hear some of these newer designs. However, no one anywhere near me carries them, so I don't really know when I am going to be able to hear them. As for Altec and Klipsch, their older designs still beat anything else I have ever heard in any store or home I have ever been in. That's not to say I am closed to another possibility at all, I am merely stating the fact. I have read quite a bit about these newer designs, here and on other forums, but I can only speak to what I have actually heard. I, for one, thank you for starting this thread and for trying to help spread the word about horn designs, which have really gotten a bad rap very unjustifiably.
