Why not horns?

FYI I HAVE NEVER HEARD, AND I HAVE HEARD MANY, CONICAL HORNS THAT DON'T "MEGAPHONE" VOCALS WITH A CONVENTIONAL PERMANENT MAGNET COMPRESSION DRIVER. I HAVE SINCE NOT FOUND A QUALITY BUILT CONICAL HORN THAT "MEGAPHONES" WITH A QUALITY FIELD COIL COMPRESSION DRIVER

ALL CAPS makes it seem like you are shouting, JW5115. One could say it adds a megaphonic quality to your comment.

I would think that the design of the horn would cause the megaphone effect, not the type of driver. Men and women have vey different voices but both will sound like they are talking through a megaphone when that is what they are doing. Likewise, either of them will sound very different with, and without, the megaphone.

You seem to be selling field coils with a weak argument based entirely on your opinion. Are you in the field coil business?

Hi Audiogon members. I am back. As the start of a new year I wish you all a great one. When I lived in NY there were a few audio clubs I belonged to. If anyone is in the Orlando Fl. area who would like to hear my system(I would listen to your's as well,if you wish), let me know. I guarantee the horn haters will no longer hate them. I am not stating you will go out and buy a pair(it is still personal). I have friends and aquaintances who own top of the line B&W, Maggies, Martin Logan, and others, who jump at the chance to come listen, and I enjoy the smile on their faces when they do. Again, Happy New Year to all ! MrD

My rear loaded horns (A'la Cain&cain IM Bens) are like headphones.... I call it listening thru a rose coloured magnifying glass!!!
For me, there is no turning back. Every single person who has come over to hear my modest system has asked me the same question: "how much would it cost me to build something like this?"
I think that when set up and tweaked properly, they are undeniably addictive.... downside: You can't help but notice EVERY single little change you make in your system, often to the detriment of the precariously balanced , ever fleeting synergy we all seek to establish, and of course, improve upon.

Hxt1 - What else are you using with your horns to bring you that precarious balance? Most of the objections to the use of horns seem to be based on size and cost and you appear to have avoided both of those potential problems and come away very happy.
