Why not horns?
World's greatest catch-all argument for your favorite thing.....whatever it may be."You just haven't heard one properly set up!"Ah!! But of course!! How unlucky for the rest of the world that there are so FEW amazing systems out there. Please tell... 
Wilson Sophia 3
Just spent some serious time with the new Sophia3.A definite improvement over the series 2. That new midrange is obviously superior in every way to the older ScanSpeak sourced mid. The delicacy, air, and presence are all improved upon.In fact, I'd... 
DUNLAVY SC-VI
Raise the roof?? Yeah! Go for it if you can.Unsound is right, the 20x20 thing will still be a problem but it won't be too difficult to overcome. Depending on how your ceiling ends up there will only be one major room mode and then a smaller one th... 
Why not horns?
P.S. forgot to mention....... (yet again)On the chart, a VK-1000 is just a monobloc version of the VK-500. 
Why not horns?
@ Almarg/Herman........Well, a couple things are certain here.1) first and foremost, it was classless to get personal and call names with Herman. My sincere apologies on that.2) I've become completely lost in what has been said by me, by others. W... 
Why not horns?
Almarg...... upon consideration I'm convinced you are correct.All three of my examples have listed specs of 26dB gain. This equates to 400W, correct? (under ideal circumstances)Yet the other specs are listed as 150W and 300W. The maximum wattage i... 
Why not horns?
Almarg: Thank you so much. You've explained it so much more eloquently that I. Indeed, the operative word I've been neglecting is MAXIMUM. And you are correct, the primary differences are current capability and heat dissipation.I didn't anticipate...

"Perhaps we equate loudness with distortion and respond by playing louder when the distortion is absent." - MacrojackI've found this to be absolutely true in my own experience. Even with dynamic drivers. These days I've have to be conscious of the... 
Why not horns?
Macrojack, Good grief man! I only have so much time to waste here. I told you I would read it! :)And I have. Naturally, the first thing I have to note is that even Mr. Woods has stated that the conical (the least colored) "has very little trace of... 
Why not horns?
Herman, if you had read the website you would see what I am talking about. Two amps with the same gain but different rated output power into the same load. The only difference being the number of PARALLELED output devices.Given this comes from a w... 
Why not horns?
"Mine are as crystal clear and utterly precise as anything you have ever heard and in all likelihood significantly more so." - MacrojackI can appreciate your enthusiasm for horns. I really can.But this statement can not be supported in any manner ... 
Why not horns?
Herman. I have one last thing to mention with regards to parallel amps in an effort to reconcile why we keep misunderstanding what each other is saying.....If you take a look at BATs website and look at the following products: VK-255SE and VK-600.... 
Why not horns?
"As you you've established clearly that you have no use for horns, pray tell, what use have we of you? Why are you presenting yourself so emphatically in an arena where you have no interest nor expertise?" - MacrojackSee, now this seems smug to me... 
Why not horns?
"Sorry, a complete load of crap.Are you serious? You add up a bunch of errors and the total error is less than any individual error?"Yes, absolutely serious. And it beguiles me as to why you don't get it.I didn't use the term "errors" but since yo... 
Why not horns?
"I completely understand the difference in parallel and bridged.I completely understand that parallel amplifiers cannot double the power output. I remain confused that you insist they do." -HermanThen why did you assume bridge when I said parallel...
