Does anyone ever listen to music anymore, or are you thinking about the hardware you use to recreate the musical moment too much? Other than junk thrown together with no knowledge at all, most good systems do a great job of retaining the UNKNOWN mix information locked into the great number of recording methods known and now used as inputs to these "magical" boxes called music systems. I was born before Pearl Harbor into a family who used a Brook 10-C3 and an RCA LC-1A 15" duo-cone speaker before there were any stereo systems (or binaural). Music still sounds good, regardless of how old I get. Give this a thought... nothing is perfect, especially the initial recordings (and yes, I owned a recording studio). It's all good, if you think about it.
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?
A couple guys on my audio discord really love the JBL synthesis 4367 and feel that all traditional 3 way tower speakers suck because they have poor bass response and are generally shy sounding. What I wonder is how come the majority of speaker makes do floor standers that are 3 way as oppose to the Horn +woofer design of JBL?
Is there any downsides to the horn + woofer design? Can a horn convey microdetail as well as a Be tweeter like say from magic A or S line? They claim 3 way floor standers are just trendy. But is there anything more to it then that?
