I like horn speakers, but, not everyone, and this is ok. It is obvious the folks you are speaking about like horns. JBL makes horns for the home and professional market, and there are many more companies as well. What sounds good to us ? Each person needs to decide for themselves, and this is done by listening, comparing, and determining, what it is we like. And yes, horns can deliver the details, that are in our recordings. Enjoy MrD.
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?
