Atmasphere, I know a few people who do not like horns, period.I do too. But not all horns are created equal- like all tech, there are good examples and bad examples. As we all know rooms at shows are not always the best place to do an audition. I'm really hoping we get better sound at the new RMAF; we've always struggled with false ceilings and false walls at the old venue.
And I've met people that wouldn't take horns seriously without even having listened to them. I remember Harry Pearson saying in TAS 'horns ain't high end'. Boy was he wrong!
