Horns, properly selected for the application and room, sound great. The ones I like, however, are too big for my room. I can get them to fit, but I only have one room in my house that I can use for whatever I want, and I do other things in there besides listen to music. I play guitar and piano, have friends over to jam, watch TV, and have a home studio for my full time job as a graphic designer/Illustrator. If I had another room at my disposal, and it was big enough, I might go back to my KB-WOs.
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?
A couple guys on my audio discord really love the JBL synthesis 4367 and feel that all traditional 3 way tower speakers suck because they have poor bass response and are generally shy sounding. What I wonder is how come the majority of speaker makes do floor standers that are 3 way as oppose to the Horn +woofer design of JBL?
Is there any downsides to the horn + woofer design? Can a horn convey microdetail as well as a Be tweeter like say from magic A or S line? They claim 3 way floor standers are just trendy. But is there anything more to it then that?
