Opinions expressed here are my own. The reason for this page is to present my findings on horn speakers. If you have any experience or info, please Email me. I am not to be held responsible for any problems caused by the information or the contour calculator applets presented here. They tend to be very efficient or sensitive.
Horns sound very dynamic and reproduce fast transients in the music.
Of course, there are some problems associated with horns. They can be hard to build. Poorly designed horns can impart colorations to the music, or sound just plain nasty. And horns designed for producing low bass notes must be very large. Horns are acoustic transformers.
