Well listening to Tri of Triplanars field coil horn system certainly enlightened me to the strengths of horns as have a few other systems I have heard throughout the years. Exposure to these better horn speakers had given me a appreciation of this type. Low level detail is one of the greatest strengths of horns.
I do feel however that many horn users underpower their speakers and this has nothing to do with volume just some of the intrinsic problems present with SET amps. If I were to go horn I would use OTLs, which are the amps I use on my dynamic speakers currently.
I have yet to hear a dynamic woofer integrate well with horns. I have only heard horn loaded woofers a few times and this was really special, but this didnt change what I dont like about horns just made the system more cohesive.
