| Why not horns? Fast woofers they pass me in the slow lane. How many MPH can a fast woofer do anyway? And why do people still think of bass as fast or slow. For to me this doesn't describe any real aspect of sound quality. I have never heard fast or slow bass and... | |
| ARC VT100MkII I owned the mk2 and mk3 if you can the mk3 is better sounding. Still very nice sound with mk2. A good amp if priced is fair. Runs warm as do all tube amps with power. | |

| Why not horns? Horns can be designed to work great at less than 10ft sitting distance depends on design. | |
| Why not horns? Herman, The tweeters a horn Fostex t500amk2 , mids horn, midbass horn and the bass system is a 8ft tall back loaded bass horn. If you want full front loading of bass into infra sound as this horn does it would be 25ft l by 25 w. | |
| Opinions on the Zaph Audio ZRT Revelator Towers ? Loud is not dynamic. | |
| Why not horns? Lots of personal bias, limited experience, a passing listen now your an expert. Why forum response can be a true waist of time if real info is desired. I can have any loudspeaker design I want I choose horns. And no they do not honk have audible d... | |
