Fullrange horns for nearfield listening?

They'll work fine. I'm using a pair of modified Ardens that are about 8' from me. Being so close, I could probably use a SET amp for most of my listening.

Sorry, for my late feedback. Thanks to all of you for your input.

A concentric driver will sound best in your nearfield set up. Bass to about 35hz depending on cabinets and driver choice. Do you hsve a price range in mind?

I listen to my Edgarhorn 100's nearfield and run an Edgarhorn sub with them.

I've heard a number of horn systems nearfield which sounded very good to me. Even at such close listening, the different drivers were reasonably integrated. Horns tend to sound dynamic and the sound "comes alive" at relatively low volume, another plus for those listening in confined spaces.

But, most of the true horn systems I've heard were not truly full-range and did not have much in the 20-30 Hz range. A horn would have to be enormous to do that range.
