You can trace the decline of domestic horn sales in the US and Europe against the increase in domestic sales of high power SS amps over the same time.
SS was better than tubes. More power, less heat, less space. With more power available, all of a sudden listeners did not need 2 big horn boxes to achieve high SPL and deep bass in home.
Smaller always is better. Average size of a suburban home from the 50's to the early 80's was less than 2000 sqft.
Asia never abandoned tubes and began to embrace Altec, JBL and WE horns and tube amps in the early mid 70's. Search online for pictures of Asian audiophiles using theater horns in their systems. Many are installed into spaces barely larger than a US master bedroom. Size doesn't matter, only the sound. We have other priorities in the west....
