Why not horns?

I see Oris150 horns with bass cab sets on Audiogon every now and then for $3-4k. I expect those could hang pretty well with the best as long as the drivers are good ones, and the crossover point is done well.

Johnk,
How would you do the "Add fostex t900a tweeters a few parts adds about $1100 more" integration into the M19s? Would you replace the uppermid drivers with something else (as was suggested on a long thread over at Lansing Heritage a year or two ago)?

Macrojack,
The bass is horn-loaded. The upper frequencies are omnidirectional because of the driver construction. It is "low" efficiency. I find the GP Unikorns can sound sublime in the right room.

For more fun, take a look at the Duevel Bella Luna. It is a very interesting implementation. The top of the line is the Duevel Sirius, which both goes lower and is more efficient. But it ain't cheap.

JW, I think big horns get "live" better than any other kind of speaker I have heard.

It could be that you were SHOUTING!!!

Your first contribution to this thread was also SHOUTING so lots of people may have passed it over. I did. It was also a bit difficult to read (double negative then compared against a single negative).

It could be that your second comment was obviously meant to test participants (though they may not have figured out what it was that you were testing).

I looked through your limited posting history and figured out you were a 'horndog' before I posted, but it would have been easy to jump to conclusions given recent 'difficulties' in hornville.
