For some people that is almost certainly true. But to turn it around, there are also some people who simply could not be satisfied with the world's best horn speakers, regardless of whether they could afford them. Different people have different needs in audio, and that is why different types of loudspeakers continue to exist. One of the great things about the free market is that consumers in Feastrex's selected niche market will be the ones who judge whether these entreprenuers are ultimately a success or a failure. r
Chris, (Unfortunately) there's no relation whatsoever between market success and audio. I too have experimented with wide band (single) drivers but there's no denying the fact that wide range is not enough for sound reproduction. There are other "problems" as well but I won't go into them (just go through the Horn-Loaded Speakers forum). Buying a $40K pair of single drivers make no sense.

Cheers,
Tuga
