In Reply to: RE: Do keep in mind pricing is per 'each', not per 'pair'... posted by Paul Joppa on December 02, 2014 at 20:22:14
Roger Bacon got thrown out of an ecclesiastical council for suggesting an Ass be found and the teeth counted; not Aristotelian, dontcha know.
"Boxiness", "honking", "ringing (as ascribed to Altec horns)", "directional"; all these terms are used indiscriminately on the 'Net because someone, somewhere once heard an A7 or Patrician or Klipschhorn with that horrible 'squawker', that evinced that impression.
Until one has listened to a seriously over-damped alignment (that's a smallish box) with a true catenary horn, or Altec 604s with an improved crossover in a TL box or JBL 2446s with the outrageous 470 horn, other opinions informed only by what's read on the Internet is simply paying homage to "the posts of Christmas past".

If it was not clear, when I referred to "boxiness" I just meant the vibration of the box walls, and the sound generated by that vibration.
Nothing to do with midrange horns, which have their own issues ... :^)

+1
And there are others worth trying that are much different than horns from the past.
The Klipsch 400 horn, which many people still listen to, and which Klipsch still uses, is 100 year old technology. We have come a long way since then.
Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
actually listening to (or for that matter, building) speakers, right?
Right?
