Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned?    They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own.  So why such hate?  As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases.  But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

Hey Wolf, I'm glad you're enjoying the Heresys.....  I've had mine about three weeks too and they sound great....  I agree , these are great speakers , especially for the money... their strengths far outweigh any shortcomings they may have.   Enjoy yours , I know I am.

Eminence…spelling error. I'm bi-wiring the Heresys for no reason in particular except that I had the wire already there from other speakers, and I'm thinking about stands to get them up to my ear level although that might not be worth it…they're sort of cool on the floor…fun…they're fun...

Merry Christmas, Wolfie.  Good to see that you're still marching to the beat of a different drummer ;-)
