Why not horns?

Well sizewise they ARE 6'1" tall!!!
But they have a modest footprint, 9"x21".
Lumber was $450, drivers were $150,
And I put about 100 hours into constructing them.
I'm using an almarro a205mkII with Bent Audio mods
(resistive ladder relay remote volume/balance control)
And tweaks (V caps, fuses, and so on)
A Lenco with DIY slate/cld plinth, various MC carts with SUTs
Bottlehead Eros phono , and a Modwright 999es platinum truth.
Everything was purchased used here on A'gon or sourced locally, except
The Eros.
A cheap, fun system, and at night I can plug my AKG 701's
Into that little Almarro and groove with no complaints from the better half!

Oh and speltz anticable speaker cables.
The TT , SUT jumpers and IC's are all incognito,
The other IC's and all powercords are DIY.
This system has evolved, after 6 amps, countless speakers,
And cd players, transports, DACs, and ancillaries this is it!
For now.

Macrojack, exactly what components are in your horn system? As stated not everyone is a horn fan but to be educated it would help if people would list which horn systems they think are good.

Seadogs1 - Take some time and read through this thread. I know it's long but there is a lot of info in it that will answer your question.

My horns are AH300 by Acoustic Horn Company. I am using B&C DCX 50 compression drivers. These are mounted atop a pair of JBL L-200 cabinets which contain RCF L15P530 woofers. Crossover, etc. is handled by an XTA 224. I think they are good.

Macrojack, the new improved BOSE 901's sounds very very Horn-Like now. BOSE is now using different speaker drivers for their new 901's that just came out a few months ago. "One of the best" and a "future classic" that we will talk about for a long long time !!...
