Why not horns?

Unsound:
While the 3.5's can sound a bit hard on occasion (and this is very dependent on the recording),

Unsound, are you blaming the music for the hardness you are hearing occasionally? Please can you name the recording/s or artist/s?
Its an easy cop out to blame the humble cd or vinyl IMHO for dodgy quality of sound, I am talking on a hi-fi wide scale and not about any particular make or model of speaker.
Good speakers enhance the music regardless of how well or badly the music is engineered, once again all IMHO.
I mean why spend shed loads of the folding stuff if one is unhappy with certain recordings?
The object after all and why we are hi-fi enthusiasts is to get maximum enjoyment from our chosen music and speakers, no?!.
WE: what speakers do you use for your listening enjoyment?
Maggies are good speakers, as are many boxed speakers.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
No sea near me, so off to Aspen for some snowboarding,lol.

Thank you Weseixas. For taken the time to list the horn systems. In audio we should be happy if we find what we enjoy. No right or wrong. Take care and happy listening.

Weseixas, if you want to quote someone, you use the brackets around the word 'quote'. Once you are done with the quote, you use the brackets again, this time around the word '/quote'

I can even quote myself:

like this

Sometimes its difficult to see what you are saying, since its hard to know if you are quoting someone or not.
