Horn speakers are really bright?

 I have JBL 1400 Array's with a horn loaded compression midrange and super tweeter. They certainly are not "bright", the sound overal is mellow.

 It depends how well a speaker type is implemented, some horn type compression drivers are definitey horribly screechy.

horns can be bright, any type of speaker can be bright if not properly impemented. The example of Khorns with a Crown DC300A is a perfect example of how NOT to implement them. 

The idea that horns are always bright as some have opined is ridiculous. Check out my system.. nothing bright about it

Some people may have bright rooms.

Herman,

Isn't the sound affected by the large objects sitting in the bass horns?

well, I suppose it has to have some effect, and I haven't done a lot of experimenting , but it sounds excellent as is so no desire to so... until now since you brought it up🙁

For now assume that is doesn't and I'l report back later if it does.
