Horns for HT?


Hi all,

I'm starting to set up a second HT room in our 18'x32'x10'basement game room. I have a B&W HT/music system on the main floor featuring 800ds, HTM2D, Velodyne DD18. I would like to try something different in the basement. From what I've been told horns excel at impact\dynamics\punch. So would a HT system with horn speakers work well. Does anyone have any suggestions going this direction? I will be using Arcam AVR-600 for my processor.I'm not looking at going quite as high end as I have upstairs

Thanks, Mike

there are 3 speaker lines that I have been reading about on avsforum, jtr triple 12's, mark seatons Catalysts and speakers from Tom Danley. These all have what you are looking for. I use horns for my home theater. Klipsch CF3's mains and a KLF C-7 center. All about 100dB efficient. These are smooth and dynamic with great slam.
