Markus, I speak as a non-commited direct radiator guy when I say that the horn EQ as a raw principle is a very powerful model that theoretically opens the door to the sort of overall efficiency that direct radiators can only dream of.  Then I will turn right around and say that if one is OK with low(er) efficiency, then indeed, horns look like a lot more trouble and expense than they would otherwise be worth.  Ironically (?), I think that many of my own hi-fi shortfalls are tied to compromises I've made with respect to efficiency, which is always a factor, after all; it's not like that just goes away.

Still, I believe that the key to any successful hi-fi installation is tied up in the idea of "careful arrangement", since care with implementing highly-developed demands will probably have more to do with success in the end than topology will.  Trite words by now, but still true.

Best regards,
Paul S
