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

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

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. 

 

 

I did little mods to both set 

I rebuild CF4 crossover with high quality one and replace drivers with Ciare HW321

 

on KLF 30 I did a lot 

I replace midrange drivers 

I replace the crossover with Bob Crites model

i replace diaphragm with titanium diaphragm 

I replace jumpers and binding Post 

I replace all 12" drivers with Ciare HW321
