Yo Mike-oh,
having PMS today or just a tiff with the wife?"Nowadays we have bass players with 5 string basses that go down to 32Hz."
Em.. I think that goes back quite a way in time..
----Dude, dude, dude...tsk tsk. "Nowadays we have the Internet to interact with insecure DIY horn making assholes"- Nowadays is a figure of speech. Now. A D-A-Y-S??
Not like uh last week. Nowadays. These last few decades apply here too.
"I think it goes back to realism. If you want musical realism, you need horns."And if you want realism you need the horns to move some serious air.
>"Horns like most other speakers have a 'sweet spot' in terms of their volume level where they sound their best. And this tends to be overwhelmingly loud at times."
>You are wrong.
Nope. You are. You having a bad headache this morning or just an empty stomach or something?
Every high eff. horn loaded speaker from Edgarhorns to Lowthers to multiple driver horn loaded speakers exactly like direct radiators, bipolars, etc. have a volume dependent "sweet spot".
Try finding the most musically realistic recordings and most people instinctively find the right volume level to make them come most alive.
Of course huge orchestras and marching bands need that volume. String quartets - unless one refers to The Who as such- do not require such SPLs to make them sound realistic.
Have your coffee, Mike.

I'd hate to see the manner in which you speak to those whom you have little regard for!
"Yo Mike-oh,

Reread what you wrote:
"Horns like most other speakers have a 'sweet spot' in terms of their volume level where they sound their best. And this tends to be overwhelmingly loud at times."
Now, why are you claiming the sweet spot of horns is overwhelmingly loud? What facts do you have to back up this BS? I asked you a question and you dodged it like a bunny running from a beagle...........
What horns have you had in your room that need to be played this loud to sound good?
Mike
