Change to Horns or stay Dynamic

I went from dynamics to electrostatic and now horns. I still design dynamics but for my mains its a all front horn system. And it doesnt have a narrow sweet spot, doesnt sound like mono when out of said sweet spot,doesnt require massive room and great distance for drivers to integrate, doesnt have problems with coloration etc. But its very large still can fit right in a corner so takes up little floor space. All loudspeakers have +- traits to me horns have far less - than other designs. To me horn - are size cost.

Paul dynamics can not equal the dynamic range of a front horn no mater how much power you feed them. It just isnt going to happen.

Dan ed not all large horn systems are limited as you say. I have designs that integrate at normal listening postions. Even 1 that you can sit 6ft away and its a seemless whole just depends on the design not a limit on horn design in general, just some designs need more space. And Shadorne I have not heard or have measured problems with compression in hi-quality compression drivers. Sure its posible but compression driver designers are well awear of it and realy its not a problem at all for any quality horn loudspeakers.

My horns systems never cop out in the bass. Horn bass has wonderful detail notes are not lost to drivers massive movements, its fast with less distortion than convetional designs, plus the amazing bass pressures one can generate with ease realy the only -s are size and cost. If you can get around that then horn bass to me is the best reproduced bass can get.

I dont feel active has any advantage in sound quality over well designed passive, you will get greater dynamics for you are running multiple amplifers with an active and a bit less insertion loss over passive but this is a nonissue if networks of proper design. A well designed 1st order will not limit dynamic range. I will say its easy to design a loudspeaker for active crossover much harder to design proper passive networks. For awhile I ran a 4 way horn system with active crossovers had 8 mono amplifiers what a pain to get it all right so many cables so much to go wrong. Still I use active for crossover designing. Gets me in the ball park so I have to exparament with values a bit less.
