Are horn speaker colored or more open and dynamic?
I think there are good and bad horns, but that the best are unrivaled by other speakers in terms of dynimics or pace they lend to music reproduction. Other dismiss horns as colored or honky. What is the overall opinion of audiophiles?
Well said. But I think that few recognize that all speaker systems have colorations or suppressed dynamics. I personally cannot deal with the lack of dynamic realism of inefficient speakers or the lack of clarity in the amps that are necessary to drive them.
At the time of my initial post I was reacting to someone who said that since I relied on colored horns in my evaluations, my reviews were worthless. My reaction is that ONLY someone with a well done horn system can truly evaluation many components.
I recognize your sincerity and agree with everything you say.
