Why not horns?

What's your point, Jw? I choose to use horns because they ARE closer to live to my ear.

JW, I think big horns get "live" better than any other kind of speaker I have heard.

JW-

Unless the "LIVE" event is a rather intimate venue, it will reach your ears via horns. Did you know that? If so, why the remark?

The thread started a long time ago and wandered pretty far afield at times, but my aging memory thinks the subject of live music was broached more than once. That's only natural since horns are the undisputed best choice for professional sound reinforcement.

I have indicated many times in my posts that I use live, unamplified music as my reference, as many others have as well. Unfortunately, systems cannot equal it, ime, but can simulate it at various levels (not only spl). MrD

TOUCHY!! TOUCHY!! WHAT WAS I SAID THAT LED YOU TO BELIEVE I WAS NOT A HORNY GUY. I MUST BE WELL HIDDEN IN THE BUSHES!!
HORNS DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY A LOUD AMPLIFIED EVENT IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED RELEVENT.

A SINGE VIOLIN OR PIANO IS THE REAL TESTFOR INSTRUMENTS
