but not my religious faith. 300B amps like high efficiency and JBL 2441's with tractrix horns do that fine.
But then I view speakers as a matter of picking ones favorite compromises. I've heard decent to very good sound from just about every configuration out there from single driver, open baffles, monkey coffins, to large panels.
There are a lot of things that I don't care for in 'high end' audio, but I generally resist the temptation of starting threads just to address them.
Maybe I should rethink that. ;-)

Ah, I see. Thank you for the upgraded clarification.Horns are my personal preference also, and not a Religion.
There are other things that can sound good when done right. All their different anomalies and positive nuances. All are a compromise of some sort. But it's a fun hobby experiencing them all through temporary or permanent ownership whether they are commercially produced or home built.I've been building my own speakers and systems since I was 12 years old and I have a technical background. Audio is just a hobby because I really like listening to music in a darkened room with eyes closed, which is a much more enjoyable for of "double blind listening" as opposed to ABX box testing, although I have done that too, since I was an AES member and attended the meeting where the guys who designed the ABX box were demonstrating it.
I'm still amazed at how many great software tools we have available today for for free or very little money to explore endless possibilities without having to make sawdust like I used to do (and still do without as much waste as before).
But no matter how great of a simulation we perform, it's the EARS, the ROOM, and the program material that give us the joy of perceived success. What a Grand Illusion Audio is!!
