Horn speakers are really bright?

Crazy as it was, my first serious upgrade was to buy a pair of new Klipsch Lascalas II. Immediately they were hooked up to an inferior system. Cambridge receiver, cheap CD player, stock cabling. As the last few years have passed I've replaced each link with an upgrade I could afford. The Klipsch's revealed clearly each change and revealed the capabilities of those horns. Also they painfully told me there was more to change. Many times I thought the particular issue was the speakers themselves only to find out later the real issue was poor interconnects or whatever...Unfortunately I made conclusions about the Lascala's limitations only to disprove that with another upgrade. I'm sure Lascalas do have their inherit foibles. Like in my yurt (a tent house) few speakers will be able to produce any impactful bass as their are no solid walls. Kinda like setting your speakers in an acoustically open field. SVS sub (SB2000 pro) cured that. My tube amp (Raven Blackhawk) has a soft hum which with Klipsch efficiency at 104 @ 1 watt can drive you crazy until Mad Scientist disks. Now the hum is barely detectable. (In between songs, at night) So if one hears about the nature of Klipsch horns remember, they are like spoiled women. They tell you everything they hate quick and yet can grant you an evening of euphoria you'll not soon forget!

Very nicely put Don!
