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?

You girls still beating this thread? OK, as the first step in my twelve step program, I just sold my Klipsch Fortes and use, as my main speakers, 1977 Klipsch Cornwalls. And I really, really like them.

Growing up in the mono era, my dad had a single Klipschorn, in a NYC apartment, no less. But as I got a bit older and started reading the audio mags I learned that horn speakers were garbage and that started my quest owning B&W, Celestion, Spendor, Magnapan, Infinity, Epos and scads more. Now, fourty years later, I find myself back where it all started and I could not be happier. HP and J. Gordon took me down their paths, but they weren't mine.

Hi, I'm Marty and I'm a hornaholic.
Hi Marty- Feels good, huh? Finally you've found out who you really are and you've been able to shed the yoke of peer pressure and the need for public acceptance. Congratulations!!!

Your bravery and your wonderful story of self-discovery can only serve to empower other closeted horn lovers everywhere. You've provided a strong example by coming out like this. Thanks for sharing.
