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

Does Klipsch make any modern day speakers similar to the design of the EPIC CF4??

@lowrider57 

nope nope 

I wish they still make CF4 or even something similar to KLF 30

i guess forte  and Cornwall IV is great but I don't really like the height of either 

I think that part of the magic of the Epic CF4 is the D'Appolito configuration of the drivers.

My current pair of speakers is Klipsch KP301 II's with the larger midrange horn, and I've customized the tweeters with B & C drivers. The only other speakers I've even considered were Altec Lansing, so you could say yes, I'm sold on horn speakers to say the least.  I've owned Klipsch speakers since 1977 and I agree with everybody who's spoke up saying there are many factors leading to a speaker sounding bright weather it be Klipsch or not. And the fellow that said horn's are distorted or whatever way he put it, was just silly. Bad horn speakers sound distorted, good horn speakers sound the best I've ever heard.  The leading-edge is very important in any system because we all know . . . what you put in is ultimately responsible for what you get out.
