Why not horns?

Love the subwoofers :)

Macrojack, I will correct one of your posts regarding my past visitations of the OMA site.

I will only say that my "time" visiting with OMA was very short, very educational, and very eye-opening.

To say that I would not let my dog lift his leg on the side of the OMA barn would be a gross understatement.

Hope this makes my position clear. Nothing against Acoustic Horns.

Aw, come on Dan, let us know how you really feel ;-)) LMFAO!!

The following article was sent to me by an experienced and dedicated horn enthusiast. I thought it might help to clear up some of the misunderstanding concerning horns and their potential, especially since it comes from a very credible source.

Sonic differences of Altec model 19 and Altec a7 but keep in mind a7 performance varies with drivers used. Model 19 lower bass, more treble extension. Less coloration for model 19. A7 can play louder the horn loaded mid-bass is very enjoyable has a punch and detail that is missed by model 19. I have been able to use A7 in small spaces since you can adjust the midhorns angle. The model 19s images is more detailed over a7. Image height is better with a7. Both are very good sounding loudspeakers. To me both are a bit dark voiced since hi frequency extension for either not equal to the better modern designs still a easy fix just add fostex super tweeters. I have owned 3 pair a7 and 2 pair model 19 most klipsch models many other Altecs.
