| What does one purchase after owning horns? Here is a historyMain MonitorsHorn systems have also improved and modern Westlake's with TAD drivers are amazingly good too as are JBL's or Meyers. My comments here are not to bash horns at all! Just mentioning alternatives - that is all. Although... | |
