Why not horns?

Thanks Duke and Johnk for the responses, very informative! It would be interesting to hear a pair of the model 19's sometime.

Is pissing with rain so I thought I would share a joke;

A simple spelling mistake caused my divorce, I went
to Amsterdam and sent
a message to my wife, 'having the most amazing and
wonderful time wish you were her'!

Gawddamn, gawdbless, your jokes are terrible. And don't seem to segue too well into this discussion. Lousy, unfunny, awkward and inappropriate.

It appears to me that only a handful of the thousands of people who use horn based speaker systems worldwide can be bothered to read the Audiogon forums. I think it is because they have progressed so far beyond the trivial egocentric, brand name palaver that dominates these discussions that they long ago lost interest. For my own part, I have stopped reading anything that asks about B&W or Thiel or Vandersteen or Krell or Wilson because there is never anything new or interesting to be found. My apologies for inquiring.

Macro,

As Ronald Reagan would have said, "there you go again" drawing unsubstantiated conclusions.

How do you know how people read Audiogon threads?

I can assure you a lot more threads are read than people actively participate in.

And its pretty egocentric to think that if they are not chirping in on your thread that it is Audiogon's fault.

It is a safe bet most likely though that the majority of people out there using horns or any other speaker type are content just enjoying music on them and do not need or care about outside info from Audiogon or any other audio centric site.

For those that do care about horns and their place in niche high end audio world specifically, Audiogon is surely the place to be. But for those just interested in horn speakers in general, there is abundant information out there beyond the small sampling of info referenced here.

Mapman - Please don't quote Ronald Reagan to me. The man was a moron.
I do hope you are bright enough to realize as much.
