In Reply to: good horn speakers that aren't too big! posted by xaudiomanx on January 30, 2020 at 11:11:45:
OK -- only one horn, but the loudspeaker that the Heresy could've been if the Heresy didn't have that awful squawker (both horn and driver) that the Col. and company used for many, many years. Oh, and probably a better woofer, too.
There are larger morphs of this basic design, if the Esquire is too small for you. EV made normal-sized consumer loudspeakers with MR horns, too (of course), such as the EV Four... but I still like these better.
None is particularly easy to find, but they're not impossible to find by any means. They're sensitive, sound very good, and aren't expensive, either.
EV Esquire
The only caveat -- one version of these used a markedly less nice midrange driver than the LS8 twincone shown here. I think this model was the "Esquire 200".
You could also think about backhorns like some of the Fostex kits. Neither too big nor too expensive. The Fostex drivers tend to be a bit polarizing , though.
all the best,
