then you would have been SHOCKED to read that Stereophile actually reviewed a serious HORN SPEAKER!!!
And not just any horn speaker, but one with WE replica drivers (mid and tweet, IIRC).
As this happens far less frequently than a full eclipse of the sun here in foggy San Francisco, you would have certainly remembered it.
So when KLOSS mentioned a Horn Speaker review in the same post as Stereophile, I was able to extrapolate to Art's review of the horn speaker in question.
Having read that review, which was very positive, and JA's measurements, and being aware that many GREAT sounding speaker systems, including horns and electrostats, measure for crap, I still had no idea what he was ranting about.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
