Why not horns?


I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use horns?

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
It could be that you were SHOUTING!!!

Your first contribution to this thread was also SHOUTING so lots of people may have passed it over. I did. It was also a bit difficult to read (double negative then compared against a single negative).

It could be that your second comment was obviously meant to test participants (though they may not have figured out what it was that you were testing).

I looked through your limited posting history and figured out you were a 'horndog' before I posted, but it would have been easy to jump to conclusions given recent 'difficulties' in hornville.
TOUCHY, MY ASS! ;-) TURN YOUR DAMN CAPS LOCK OFF AND MAYBE PEOPLE WON'T TAKE YOUR POST THE WRONG WAY! ;-)

Otherwise, I agree with you.
WOw, shouty all caps in a horn thread. That's sure to not be very popular here! Horn lovers can be quite sensitive!
Horns in general are quite sensitive. It is incorrect to generalize similarly about horn owners.

In my own case, I am not particularly sensitive about negativity but I do find myself growing impatient at times with those who insist upon imposing poorly informed or uninformed aspersions on the entire horn category. There are many different horn designs, many different implementations and many different applications. Any and all of these are apt to be misapplied and/or misunderstood by individuals who are mischievous, malicious or naive.

If you read back through this thread carefully, you will find all of the above.

For my part, Bill Woods horns proved to be perfect. Notice the word "proved". I'm offering a well-established, thoroughly vetted, personal opinion. That means I am not wrong. Can't be. Anyone is welcome to disagree as to their own experience but no one can disqualify my experience.

On a similar note, let me ask if anyone here has actually heard the Acoustic Horn AH300 with B&C DCX 50 compression driver? I know of a few members who have but I suspect they are not to be found amongst the critics.

JW5115 - Your messages do not seem to come from a sober person whose first language is English. I find myself guessing as to what you are trying to say. Try again. No caps, please.
