| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @atmasphere ... a plus is they [i.e.: horns] can play a lot louder ...Indeed, and by a wide margin, but importantly it’s also how this ability (not least as a product of much higher sensitivity) translates into a sense of effortlessness not only a... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @kosst_amojan The old Klipsch stuff is exactly why people have the opinions they do today about horns and I think denying that is simply intellectually dishonest. I hope the intent with my reply above to poster @soundsrealaudio was absolutely cle... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @soundsrealaudio I like horns, except for the fact that they sound shouty, forward, bright, beamy. The older style wood Klp type speakers sound boarning, slow, heavy and us resolving. I do like them however, I am no hater. That’s classical "gener... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @unsound Phusis, I respectfully suggest you read the thread I previously hyper-linked.I did read the thread back then with its some 1000 replies or 20 pages, but many of the details herein are amiss in my mind, including whether poster @macrojack... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @unsound Phusis, As you can see; some of the more recent posts offer confirmation of what suggested earlier.With all due and sincerest respect I think it best that I exit. Thanks for your reply.Still, I'm sincerely interested in being offered ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @unsound In answer to the original question: Perhaps because there are some trolls who seem to try and use these threads as bait to trap those who don"t share their love of horns:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/why-not-horns?highlight=hor... | |
| How best to shoe horn speakers into a room @blindjim I feel too much of what we know of fitting speakers to a given room size comes only from experience, although this logic appears to be somewhat contentious lately. Any so-called "logic" that doesn’t come from experience when fitting spe... | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are @inna ... I don’t want stuffed speakers or excessively braced speakers, I want them to move and breath. That’s a rare sentiment in audiophile circles on speaker enclosures, and one that I sympathize with. The obvious and typical answer to this st... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @kosst_amojan You’re making a bunch of unequivocal statements there that I can go out and prove wrong right now with the cold, hard evidence of measurements. I glossed over a variety of horn measurements just now. None of them have dispersion as e... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @mward Does the hearing ability of the individual make any difference in the opinion of horns? It seems like they provide more directional energy thus providing a better experience for those who have lost a little top end or detail in their hearin... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? @blindjim ...QUESTION:What is the argument for or against HT speakers as primary 2 ch audio listening speakers.Is there a decided separation in speaker land lately between HT speakers and stereo or primary music only speakers??...This applies to m... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. Or, as a friend of mine puts it: "It all starts with the first octaves." Laying the proper groundwork for the sub frequencies here and successfully integrating them with the main speakers affects the whole of the remaining frequency span above in ... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @erik_squiresIn my main speakers the midrange unit is the most expensive one and the tweeter the cheapest, so the very reverse scenario of what you’re initially referring to. Among the traits of the mids driver one in particular may be a standout,... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! @blindjim Funny thread. Would active speakers be granted access to this experiment?If so, easy for me; I would go with a new pair of ATC SCM150ASL Pro - in fact I believe they retail for close to if not exactly around $20,000/pair. With these spea... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @inna ' Shouting contest thickens ', no doubt. He is not against live music or its approximation, he is against bad 'live music' shouting at him.Phusis, I suggest you leave the man alone, let him 'play sax' any way he wants to and just listen wi... |
