Why not horns?
Mapman - Does your wife need you to approve her hairstyle and attire before she can step out of the front door? Does she have to consider HAF when discussing decorating or gardening choices with her friends? Just buy the damn horns and get it over... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Stereo is an illusion supported by our natural triangulation of our ears and the source. This provides location and certain cues (clues) as to the nature and characteristics of the sound source. Our eyes perform similarly to identify size, distanc...

This thread is proving to be instructive in ways I did not foresee.

Nsgarch and Mr Tennis will share the Golden Blivet Award this year. Both have the right idea wrongly stated.For the rest of you:The Golden Rule says, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". This differs from the Limbaugh Rule which sa... 
Why not horns?
Horns in general are quite sensitive. It is incorrect to generalize similarly about horn owners. In my own case, I am not particularly sensitive about negativity but I do find myself growing impatient at times with those who insist upon imposing p...

When does the law diminishing returns kick in?
Let me reword that -It kicks in right after buyer's remorse has passed. In other words, once you have stopped questioning the wisdom of your purchase, you have entered the realm of diminishing returns. If you had no second thoughts about your purc... 
Why not horns?
Just to reassure potential horn owners - Horn based loudspeaker systems DO NOT attract pests and vermin the way that horn based threads tend to. I suspect many horn owners keep quiet about what they have at home out of fear that they might attract...

Sorry to disappoint. I buy Bubbie's sauerkraut. I'm not a DIYer. Most things are best left to those with the tools, the experience and the desire. Talent can be an issue as well. I'm second rate or worse in all of those areas. I don't even solder.

You guys are silly. Even in areas of the country where we enjoy some hobbyist density, there simply are not enough of us to keep this imaginary enterprise running. Ordinary non-audio people who have no interest in this stuff and don't care about s...
