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?

Yes, it seems there are two distinctive large camps of horn owners and then all the rest:

1) enthusiasts with custom horns
2) Klipsch owners (many that have also customized these themselves to some extent)
Unsound, I doubt that any of those folks have A'gon accounts. There is a big, wide, wonderful audio world out there and it doesn't revolve around Audiogon.
Dan_ed, I'm sorry, but, once again I'm not sure who you're refering to. The the post I made re: the things I learned, referenced things posted directly on this thread.
That was my answer to your post
Dan_ed, it might helpful if you put a user-name to those quotes.

I completely agree with your list of what you have learned on this thread. How could I not? :-)
At least for me, that 6moons link, just illustrated more reasons; "Why not horns?". I want to spend time listening to my system, not table saws. For those that enjoy all that, well good for them. Perhaps, I'm mistaken, but it appeared that many involved in that project were more than just possibly retired, and if so, might have more available time than those who are not retired. I will admit that there is something appealing about custom made speakers designed for a particular room, but, the commercial viability of something like that looks (at least to me) limited. With satisfactory products that I can actually audition before committing to, I have neither the time or inclination to bother with such a project.
