Horn speakers are really bright?


So I’m trying to understand why so many people think klipsch or horn speakers are bright 

I have two  set up garage and living room both with horn speakers EPIC CF4 garage and and KLF 30 mahogany living room  

I have recorded this songs with my iPhone  listen to them and feel free to tell me what you don’t like about them
 by the way I don’t have any room treatment

Garage sounds good, very open and revealing. KLF in living room sound very bright to me. Voice not bad, but guitar and instruments sound thin with so much high-end energy.
BTW, I can hear up to 18kHz and I think the iPhone is positioned too close to speakers.


The years have taught me that generalizations about audio are often wrong. 
I agree with Russ, in that it’s often not accurate to generalize about the sound of anything because there are just too many other variables that often go ignored in the process.

With that said, I have yet to hear a horn I’d want to own. I remain open minded because so many people swear by them, but I just haven’t heard the right situation yet to convince me.

You have a nice setup there, but between YouTube compression, the Iphone, and my PC speakers, it's really hard to evaluate the sound you hear.

i think I make some big mistakes when I was recording the KLF because I use Parasound Hint6 for preamp and the time I was recording there were surround speakers RS62II was connected to Hint6 so Technically four speakers are playing lmao 🤣 
yes I like my CF4 with CLASSE SSP800 
I have try everything to like CLASSE CP800 but I still prefer SSP800 over CP800 in two channel 
so I just sold  CP800 MK2
