  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?

Sonic differences of Altec model 19 and Altec a7 but keep in mind a7 performance varies with drivers used. Model 19 lower bass, more treble extension. Less coloration for model 19. A7 can play louder the horn loaded mid-bass is very enjoyable has a punch and detail that is missed by model 19. I have been able to use A7 in small spaces since you can adjust the midhorns angle. The model 19s images is more detailed over a7. Image height is better with a7. Both are very good sounding loudspeakers. To me both are a bit dark voiced since hi frequency extension for either not equal to the better modern designs still a easy fix just add fostex super tweeters. I have owned 3 pair a7 and 2 pair model 19 most klipsch models many other Altecs.
