I agree 99% with johnk, although I go to shows TO mainly listen to horn speakers. Since I crossed over circa 1993 to horns they are the only speakers that I will let occupy one end of my room. The realism (IMHO) that horns can produce is just not there for my ears in conventional speakers, that is not say all a enclosed speakers are bad, Its just they are not for me. I am smitten with my Oris 150's. And as stated earlier they are upgradeable without the possible need to get on both knees in front of the bank manager.
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
What are your impressions on these "acient outdated monster horn speakers" from the past? Are they any good, really bad or simply a joke? Have anybody have the chance to listen to some very well set-up horn speakers system power by single ended triode amps? Please share your experiences.
