Why not horns?

I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use horns?

OK, back to the horn thing. I just got a pair of Altec 19s a few weeks ago and they are sounding great. Less efficient than my Cornwalls and less forward as well, but they have fantastic impact. I feel like I am in that Maxell ad every time I turn them on (I know, our younger members are asking, "What's a Maxell?", time moves on.).

people who may have spent upwards of $10k per pair for their speakers,, and do not have some kind of horn set-up, probably haven't really heard a good set of horn-based speakers.

Horns are the best jump on a pair asap.
