Horn vs AMT tweeter difference

@tokushi - Great reply.  We often want audio solutions to be in absolute terms, but that's rarely the case...there are pros and cons with every choice.  😎

now I'm tempted to go to the horn.

OP:

Get what you like! It depends a great deal on the AMT and horn though, so a general description is hard. There are very popular makers with AMTs I hate (Golden Ear) and some I love ( Monitor Audio ). I wouldn’t be able to say "You should buy a speaker with AMTs!"

Same for horns. The best AMTs vanish. You stop listening for their characteristics, have high dynamic range and sound equally good played loud.

The best horns have extremely good dynamic range and help work with a variety of rooms.

AMT drivers are cheap and very beamy. If a horn is designed and used correctly it can be very natural. Their efficiency is a big plus widening your choice amplifier. May I suggest the Klipsch Heritage collection. The Cornwall 4 is an exceptional speaker at its price.
