HORNS, REVERB AND MIXING
One thing is certain, and strangely never mentioned by sound engineers:
When it comes to adding reverb to a mix, a horn system reveals potential problems as standard, even exclusive monitors are not capable of.
A horn system will always reproduce more reverb than is otherwise audible, which guarantees that when it sounds right in the horns, there will never be too much reverb with other speakers.
Some studio monitors, such as the Kali, have an exceptionally powerful horn loading of the tweeter, but even these cannot compare to full-scale horns.
Kali is ranked as one of the best, but the Yamaha HS5 is surprisingly good, perhaps largely due to the large waveguide around the tweeter, which provides unusually good reverb and perspective.
Too much reverb is one of the worst things there is, and is capable of ruining even the best mix.
My horns will always be the final judge of my mix.
