Electrostatic loudspeakers with few exceptions dipole speakers, which create a drastically different radiation pattern than typical dome/cone/horn speaker designs. Horns however, just offer higher distortion, limited dispersion, and poorer frequency response compared with domes and cones. Again, Horn loaded drivers offer no useful advantage over cones and domes in consumer loudspeakers.
True, Klipsch doesn't need my help. They know what I say is true and design horn loaded speakers for marketing purposes and not for performance. Yet, if you think that electrostatics and horns are high fidelity products, then YOU DESPERATELY NEED MY HELP!!!
