"A front loaded horn stomps all over a BLH because of the timing clues.
A BLH adds in "after the fact" as opposed to a FLH where it all happens at once. "
Never a Truer statement ! I love how FLH's portray the dynamic parts of music.
If I had space and money I have a all FHL 2 or 3way system. For now
I can only get so close to that type system ! But having fun trying.

It seems to me that a Klipsch LaScala would qualify as a FHL two-way and a K-horn as a three-way FHL speaker. These are readily available on the used market.
I am curious whether you own/owned either of these, have heard them, and what your reaction to them would be.
Thanks,
George
Hi George
Yes I've heard K-horns on several occasion. A friend here in St. Louis
has a couple of pairs of K-horns.
JMHO K-horns seem to lack that dynamic effect that a non-folded LF front horn has.
Sorry a K-Horn doesn't do it for me,
I plan to look into a LF horn made by Auto-Tech they make a 250Hz horn
for an 8" driver..... This could do the trick with my 8" Field Coil speakers.
Any Opinions ??

I'm guessing you know this but the LaScala is in fact a 3-way horn using the same drivers (and horn lens) as the Khorn. It can be successfully taken to a 2-way design and some have done that but as designed, it's a 3-way.
Yes, thank you for the clarification, I did know the LaScala was a full three way horn loaded design. I think I got it confused with Cornwalls or Altec Model 19s with a ported woofer section.
I owned a pair of Cornwalls for quite awhile and enjoyed them a lot. I also had a pair of K-horns for a few years and did much experimentation with mods on them, which was great fun. That's partly why I enjoy this forum so much even though I now listen to Quads and B&W direct radiators that are not very efficient!
Cheers,
George
