I grew up with a big old then-SOA James B Lansing C-31 front-loaded horn speaker driven by Newcomb tube amplification. The speaker had two 15" active woofers and the potato-masher horn tweeter. (This was the first version JBL "super corner horn"). It sounded wonderfully dynamic and balanced, not shrill, not shouty, not boomy. Some of the most "realistic" sound I've heard in a living room.
Many years later, my son unknownst to me bought floor-standing Klipsh's (the less expensive ones). I was surprised at how good they sounded, since I was aware of the bad reputiona that horns have in the high-end. I am now keeping my eyes upon for an affordably-priced C-34 that I might used to replace my second stereo system.
