| Why not horns? Sthomas - I agree. Probably. Can you elaborate as to what comments are funny and why?re: Walsh drivers in horns, I know nothing about the credibility of the reviewer but I do know that German Physics is a legitimate and highly credible manufacture... | |
| Why not horns? Here's a thread from last year that might shed some light on the subject. Please note the same few people chiming in then as now in behalf of horns. That indicates to me the need for a broader base of knowledge on the subject.Too few audiophiles a... | |
| Why not horns? I wonder if John Bau gave this matter any thought when he created the Spica TC-50? When was that, like 1982? | |
| Why not horns? Po-Tay-To = Po-Tah-ToLet's call the whole thing off. | |
| Why not horns? If you are a full wavelength behind, wouldn't that make you 360 degrees out of phase?It would also seem logical that "out of phase" signals, regardless of cause, are less of an issue for longer wavelengths than for higher frequency discrepancies. ... | |
| Why not horns? Cdc - I'm not well schooled in the matters you brought up just now but my sense is that you are demonstrating that an Aveo gets decidedly better mpg. than a Corvette. Of course, you are right but the parameters qualify the argument.I recall you me... | |
| Why not horns? O. K. wiseass, you've alluded repeatedly to your 30 years of experience designing and building loudspeakers. It seems to be the justification for your opinions and the reason that we should feel subject to your authority. While more than a dozen o... | |

| Why not horns? Plainly there is no consensus on the desirability of horns in this discussion. However, it is equally plain that most of us see horns as a viable alternative. A few have no taste for them at all and a couple are hell bent on discouraging others fr... | |
| Why not horns? Pretty broad spectrum of feelings about horns - all the way from love to hate. It seems to be a subject that is unresolved for most of us. If you are one who feels like he'd like to explore horn ownership, what keeps you from making the move? | |
| Why not horns? Mapman - I have found with my system that the lack of distortion can cause me to play louder than I otherwise might. Perhaps we equate loudness with distortion and respond by playing louder when the distortion is absent. Just a guess but that migh... | |
| Why not horns? Unsound - Both of you are acting like petulant children insistent about your inalienable right to remain willfully ignorant. Who can argue? You have that right. But why not do so quietly? Neither of you has said anything to move this thread forwar... | |
| Why not horns? Prdprez - I started this thread with the hope that I might engender a useful and enlightening discussion about horn loudspeakers. I know from first hand experience that there are horns that do not pollute the air with what generally is called horn... | |
| Why not horns? Prdprez - There is no need for you to educate yourself about horns unless you want to make a useful contribution to this thread or you are considering ownership for yourself. As you you've established clearly that you have no use for horns, pray t... |
