I spent today couple hours to listening my new corner horns. I think I need to give a name to it as I do not know how to refer to it. I will work on it later on.  I need to tell you that since I brought my corner horns I did not listen my main  play back. Not because it is worse or anything like this but it is damn interesting to listen to the corner horn  and try to figure out what in me so much accepts it. This thing is driven by Denon udm30, 50 bucks worth objectively piece of shit. One of my S2 drivers is semi magnetize and because of this driven 4db harder. The S2 drivers have not correct diaphragms and diaphragms are not aligned. I use original vital box rectangular horns that I kind of do not like and I have a pair of beautiful wooden 1808 multi-cells that out of just sitting on the floor, next to corner horns I have no idea what response of my corner form installation. Subjectively it has a big wide range bump between 80 HZ and 250 HZ.  That upper bass, that unfiltered 15-in Altec driver has very distinct excessiveness and sometimes very obviously mask out music with lower midrange noise. If I go to somewhere else and heard the sound I will give very specific instructions how to make it better. 

Still, I am listening it and I have zero motivations to change anything. My interest now is not how to make my current sound better but why this seemingly not perfect sound appeals to me too much. I do not put any reverberation channels in place, power regenerations and the whole system is wired with cheapest cables from home Depot. It is not the most accurate system in musical terms. My main playback provokes significantly more intellectual, emotional and aesthetical impact. There are certain rounding off that impact from corner hordes. Still, for whatever reason it is very  pleasurable to hear it. It is not the pleasure that derived from curiosity of how the corner horn system will render this or that complex part. It feels like my corner horn installation kind of don't give a shit how it's present music and forever reasons the way it does do challenge me as an audio person but completely relax me as music listener.

What is very funny is that there is some music which is absolutely impossible to play on my corner horns. For instance today I was trying to play WTC number 2 by Stanislav Richter and the music was hardly even recognizable. It was absolutely remarkable. The very same effect I observed with large Dinlavis, some things they do okay but some music playing by them just not make any mental or aesthetical relation with my brain. I have no idea what it is. However, when music is right, and particularly during complex crescenders my corner horns act like an escadrón of well trained cavalry charges an open field. And it is not just audio expressionism, I have no idea what it is but it's absolutely not expected by me.
