I would love be listen to all these speakers mentioned compared to my beloved Edgarhorn Slimlines that were fully upgraded to huge mil spec oil filled caps, foil inductors and wire wound resistors as well as higher end Fostex super tweeters. I love how they sound and bet they would do quite well in this group.

I wish I could use them but just not going to work in our full time RV. 

I might end up building a few different type systems to get the best I can, by fall I will be trying Frugel-horn Joan's with Mark Audio MA-200 drivers which I am sure will be quite nice and very cheap to build. 

 

 

 

The Edgarhorns I heard were very good sounding; they lacked the peaky midrange sound of some horn systems.  

ditusa - appreciate the clarification, you are correct and did know this about the Jubilee(Heritage) line. My, now sold Jubes were the OG model using traditional horn loaded bass bins. I believe Roy is using the horn/vented design in the new subwoofer line along with the new AL6 LaScala w/active crossover. 

I used horns in car systems, one duramax truck as well as a C6 Vette, all to great effect and never had what we called the honking sound some horns can have. I always wanted the bigger EH Titan's but never had the right space for them. I was fortunate enough to get to know Dr Edgar, wonderfully kind man and I miss him. 

Done right, horns can be incredible and fun on flea powered amps just fine, preferred actually.

 

I highly recommend a low powered tube amp for horns in home audio use, in a car a high end class A low powered amp works out great. (I used AB but never increased the gain enough to go into class B).
