Not necessarily emotional/human connection, but there are simply tradeoffs in any design. For example, Earl Geddes' uses a large waveguide to obtain controlled directivity, but the waveguide generates HOMs which are audible. The benefit outweighs the drawback for most people, but some will surely find it an issue.
He also chose a waveguide profile that generates the least amount of HOMs, and then uses a foam plug to render the remainder inaudible.I don't think I've heard anyone say that the GedLee speakers have the typical "horn sound."
A good speaker must properly image (throw out dipoles/bipoles/infinite baffles).
Without addressing the acoustic space - non of the above.But the most realistic experience I witnessed took place here:
