I've never owned horn speakers (unless one counts JBL 305 waveguides) in my life.
I've owned speakers of the following types...
-Dynamic (multiple flavors, sizes, brands)
-Pure ESL (Quad)
-Hybrid ESL (Martin Logan)
-Ribbon (Apogee)
...but I've never owned a pair of horn speakers of any type, either partially or fully horned.
I'm wondering:
Is it finally time?
I know they're going to measure (by current design principles) worse than anything I've owned in the last 5 years.
But I'm curious about their vaunted dynamic capabilities and if their other flaws are other accepting for that quality.
Will my audiophile journey be incomplete if I don't try them for a while?
