Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?


As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned?    They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own.  So why such hate?  As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases.  But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

Nonoise….I tested these with a tone from my trusty old Stereophile test CD and they do go lower than the ratings state (there's some signal to the 40s certainly), and mine aren't near corners as I have my subs (off during the test of course). Note that since horns are projecting mids and highs to your face it renders "first reflections" less of an issue, and the 12" is sealed so it really pops…I listened to these in a shop and they were in corners and do well ("I have no corners, I can turn on a dime"  paraphrasing Lowell…sorry). I took one of these apart today and they're well made with seemingly nice wire that looks like thick single strand Monster cable from 1982. Cool.

just stop with your false generalization statements towards all horn designed speakers as you have wrote because it's far from being true and comes across as a troll - revert back to your own speakers and put the time and energy into schlepping them.
For a dealer such as your self to be posting as you have only demonstrates your credibility and hurts your reputation once individuals know who you are, individuals can just look at your past postings, read to figure it out. 

Any dealer or manufacture posting it should be mandatory they add their affiliation signature at the bottom of each posting so readers know, makes a difference for others like myself whom are just end users. 

F.Y.I. When at a show your product should speak for it's self - you shouldn't have to lower your self putting down others, you were pleasant though and we did have a nice conversation but your system well that was a different story.

Ha! Ha! You really don’t get it do you? - how does it feel? It’s obvious by you taking the time in posting such.

F.Y.I. Are you a diehard believer go to type of guy from what reviewers say - if so LOL! Do they keep you in business with their accommodation discounts - no!
How many owners are there on ANY forums and in the WORLD with this set-up? Take the time giving it some thought asking yourself why because I can tell you it has nothing to do with cost.
