How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?

To answer the OP’s question, years ago, Klipsch did have name cache with audiophiles. (about 45 years ago) That eroded as boutique American brands appeared as well as the great British brands. At that point, the image of Klipsch became less exclusive, because they expanded beyond the Heritage range to less expensive models as well as moving into home theatre.

Meanwhile, they still produced a few of the Heritage models, and steadily improved them. Today, with the renewed interest in the improved Heritage models due to the enthusiastic professional and consumer reviews, I think that the Klipsch image has really regained some of its former luster and prestige.

I have owned Khorns, Cornwalls and still use Epic CF 4’s as my main speakers,. This past weekend in fact, I bought a pair of KG 3.2 off of Craigslist for $150.00 for my shed, and they sound amazingly good.

Wrong as usual mozartfan. I am using large horn speakers in a smaller 11x13 room with no problems.

cohicks4,

I had the Array1400's too. They are excellent speakers, and the looks are a knockout. Nothing else looks like them.

Smooth compared to what? There are many types of horns and compression drivers behind them, so that comment is the worst kind of broad stroke generalization. 

And what miracles are you listening to vladtheimpala?

Each of those brands that you mention has an exotic horn counterpart that sounds different but as good or better.

What kind of compression driver are you going to put behind that vlad?😄
