Why not horns?

Seadogs1 - Take some time and read through this thread. I know it's long but there is a lot of info in it that will answer your question.

My horns are AH300 by Acoustic Horn Company. I am using B&C DCX 50 compression drivers. These are mounted atop a pair of JBL L-200 cabinets which contain RCF L15P530 woofers. Crossover, etc. is handled by an XTA 224. I think they are good.

Macrojack, the new improved BOSE 901's sounds very very Horn-Like now. BOSE is now using different speaker drivers for their new 901's that just came out a few months ago. "One of the best" and a "future classic" that we will talk about for a long long time !!...

So horns sound like Bose 901s. I guess that settles it :-)

To trell the truth I like my 901s in my swimming pool room, but they won't get in to my living room.

Bose in a swimming pool room sounds appropriate as they are designed to echo off the walls. However, I can't begin to imagine how they would ever approximate the sound of any horn, good or bad.

Hifisoundguy seems to be a shill, and a very poor one at that. Is there anyone here who takes any of his many Bose 901 recommendations seriously?

I've seen HFSG's several hundred Bose 901 recommendations and just figured that he really likes them, wants to stir the pot a bit around here (hey, we could use that), or both.
Comparing them to horns, he's taken it to a whole new level.
