I do but I don't have any experience or interest in horns so......
.....and I know RAO is pretty much a ********. RAHE is too slow to get
a decent conversation going and is pretty much the same boring bs
(vinyl vs CD or DBT vs sighted).

So what are you going to do about it?

I do, but I have no experience with the use of horns in home audio. I
did hear the Avantgarde Trio in a store once. Sounded pretty good.

I do, I just don't give a damn about horns (in domestic audio, that
is).

Start talking about Maggies, MOSFETs, tubes or class A, and I'm all
ears!

Personally, theory aside, I have never heard a dipole system that
didn't sound strange to me. And single ended triodes, sans feedback,
have the properties of the northbound parts of a southbound mare with a
40 knot wind at a 310 degree heading- immediately after being
serviced.

I may indeed get round to talking about mosfets and operating in deep class AB
where it's class A up to several watts.

I'm afraid your equestrian comparison eluded me. Care to translate ?

I'm not a fan of SE triodes either.
Push pull class A still rules.

Prefering dipoles (or horns) or not is just a matter of taste, you
won't hear a sqeak about that from me.

The few occasions I've had to seriously listen to dipoles
that imaged really well... either had lots of space behind the speakers
or some very serious front wall treatments. My own setup had some space
to the front wall but another pair of big box speakers
and big screen TV behind the speakers which probably
contributed to early reflections.
My rear diffusers really cleaned things up IMO and actually increased
soundstage depth and smoothed response.

Too late for that Poopie.

Perhaps you are oblivious to your how your snotty pronouncements about
gear you disapprove of are perceived by Normals. Would you like me to
explain the impression you make when you say "antique technology"?

Anyway, we all know the dirty truth about you, Poopie: You're pushing 80
years of age, you've been retired from your job as a studio flunkie for
decades, and you're deaf as a post. Nobody puts any stock in your tin-pot
opinions because you're reduced to a whiney little troll. And you're a
Kroopologist. I wouldn't be surprised if you're so far gone you don't even
know how ****ty your alliance with Turdborg makes you look.

As usual, you didn't hear a word I said. Or maybe (dun-dun-DUN!) you're

Actually George, he gave me some good suggestions for getting the
best sound out of my quads. What have you ever suggested to
help anyone?
And provide references. Be interesting if in all your years on usenet
you can make a case for your existence that doesn't depend on Arny.

Graham, I don't like the sound of horns. I went to the NY Hifi Show a few
years ago, and received a cornucopia of experience.

Each of us who snaps out at another is in some way responsible for what
r.a.o. has become. You got mad at me a while back, and made a couple of
remarks in which you derided what you felt was my ignorance. In fact, we
were not using mutually understood terms, which should have been resolvable
without the fireworks. I can only tell you that when Sander posts something,
I usually respond, because I know that the worst I'll get from him is a
polite disagreement.

Now, as Gandhi said, I'm not a saint trying to be a sinner; I'm a sinner
trying to be a saint. So when you think about this, try not to think about
all the faults I have. Each of us works most effectively on ourself, not
another.

No. People who give a damn about audio discuss it elsewhere--certainly not
on r.a.o. R.a.o. is strictly about venting outrage

No, that's not true. For some of us, it's strictly about mocking the
