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?

I like the looks of the new JBL Studio 530 monitors. Would like to hear them.
I'm in the process of building a pair of fully active, altered JBL 4345. I'm subbing in 2206 12" midrange and 2390 horn assembly. Ian Kackenzie on the Lansing Heritage site gave me the recipe. I have a 16X30 room for them so I think they'll still be able to rip my head off! It will be my first experience with JBL. Hope I survive.
Csontos, JBL 4345's is a very nice system. I have never heard a pair, tho would certainly like to. (I have grown accustomed to my head, tho),
You have a nice sized room. What amplification are you planning?
I have 3 Acoustat TNT200 and an Acoustat TNT120. All just rebuilt by Roy Esposito of Sounds Like New. As I've stated before, 'I don wanna buy a tube amp'. So I will be using a 4 way Marchand cross-over. I have all the drivers and a line on a reputable cab builder. I'm hoping to have them set up by late summer. Actually, I have a Dynaco ST-70 with an upgrade/mod kit that's been sitting around for a few years. It came with a cd installation manual but when I finally decided to tackle it this past weekend, I discovered my recently acquired MacBook Air doesn't have a cd port. What the heck?! So much for paying attention at the Apple Store.
Csontos, Any updates on your application with the JBL 4345 system. If they actually were able to and had also succeeded to"rip your head off" I will expect no response.
