Why not horns?

Funny, being casually interested in horn speakers for some time, I have been casually intrigued by this thread for some time also without actually taking the time to read it until today when I looked at the some of the posts in this last page. I then read:

****Harry Pearson has done a greater disservice to high end audio than anyone else I can think of. His faulty proclamations, pretentious stance, and cronyism misdirected about 2 decades worth of audio growth. The internet came to the rescue when we finally started talking amongst ourselves thereby learning the myth in his message.****

Man, talk about living on a different audio planet from mine! I am still intrigued by horns (a little), but one thing is certain: I am looking (listening) for different things in audio than the author of that comment. Perhaps that is a part of the answer to the OP's original question.

Harry who???? :^)

Me so horny

Ralph, way wrong. There were great horns when Harry hated them.....Tannoys have been great for a long time, various JBLs were, horns were all over in recording studios sounding great.

And Harry would still say today that they are bad. Lack of correctness never stopped Harry from being religious about his audio beliefs.

Macrojack, you are so right.

I'm glad I did not know who he was until now.

Nothing against him personally, but one one human can represent truth and reality for all.

Plus I never found the Absolute Sound to be that interesting or useful. I never connected with it whenever I picked one up and gave a read.
