Horn speakers are really bright?

The big Klipsch's will never fully take on the character of a polite British loudspeaker.  But, who want them to?

As stated in this forum, horns are unforgiving of "mid-fi" and will confidently reveal the warts promenent in lesser systems.  For the adventurous, many of the modification listed here pay big sonic dividends.  In my decades of providing performance upgrades to Klipsch speakers (RB51s -> K'Horns) it is our view that improving the integrity of the signal path yields better bang-for-the-buck gains than component upgrades.  i.e. Use the same (or, better) cabing you use from amp to speaker for all internal cabling in the speaker.  Eliminate spades, lugs, terminal strips, etc. -- siliver solder every connection.

I find the great irony of high efficiency horn speakers is just how good they sound at LOW volume levels.  Just above the threshold of hearing they deliver:  dynamic impact, detail, microdynamics, bandwidth, and spacial information.  Nothing else comes close.

Yep, above posts state very well the need to optimize full system to hear full potential of horns. I've heard horns sound absolutely shouty and furthest thing from natural to absolutely sublime, every single aspect of system matters with extreme level of resolution, transparency available with horns.

From the very first time I heard completely stock Klipschorns in my system I knew they had potential to be last speaker for me. For me the Khorns have been like a blank canvas on which I could assemble or draw a subjectively perfect work of art. Apart from components, every single little part I've changed out in multiple components, therefore, wire, capacitors, inductors, resistors has been chosen to best present an easy to believe illusion of live performers in room. Horns are amazing in this regard!

can you hear difference between this two videos

I can say for sure that over my computer speakers, the opening guitar introduction sounds better to me on the original drivers. A little more dynamic and the timbre sounds more real.
