Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular
I still have no clue as to what 'honking' is. Perhaps I am tone deaf thats why I like horns so much.Vive le Difference! 
Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular
I also do not think hi-eff and horn speakers are on the increase, which is a shame really. There will always be a dedicated hi-eff/horn following just like antique furniture and cars. I was put onto horns in 1993 by a friend who was selling his sp...

I am lucky enough to own a pair of H1's on another continent. Would cost 2k to ship here. I've been thinking about doing it because they are such an awesome speaker. Where did you hear them?

Mordaunt - Short System 442 Speakers. SWEET
My experience with old cone speakers, tends to be that they do not compete with latter day speakers. I had a pair of Linn Isobariks DMS that I bought new in 1983 ($2700) that were considered up there with the big boys, funny that I didn't audition...

Hang on until KCS has a pair of demo speakers for sale, then pounce. The most quality and sound for the money.IMHO.

Supertramp remasters
Synthfreek- I do not suffer from your problem regarding loudness with my UK copy of the cd.Shadorne- 'over cooked' is what I was sort of saying in another thread about remastered cd's, they to me only seem to hit up the EQ, which to me doesn't rea...
