Calling all Horn lovers

Whart,
Whart,
I love what you wrote. It is even handed and honest. Your point, as I read it, is that horns are by no means perfect, but with their flaws, they still present a dynamically credible illusion of music.
I particularly liked your point about the immediacy and vividness of their presentation, and the sound at low listening levels. (which is important to me) I agree that they don't always do the vast soundscape thing the way small monitors do, but for me, the other factors you mentioned are more musically important.
As always, liking or disliking horns, or any type of speaker will depend on your sonic preferences.

Thnx Rox!

Lets get Horny!!

Great Post Bill.

Might I add that volume also depends on the size of the room. We have a similar system in two rooms, a big one and a smaller one. No matter how much I raise the volume on the smaller room it will never sound as big and loud as the big room.

The Volti Vittoras have been well received at audio shows and there is also a rave review by Art Dudley. What do the knowledgeable horn people here think of them?
