Post Subject: The usual bleat....Posted by Bud on: 8/21/2005

This has been a very informative discussion folks. I am not a horn person... not through any lack of interest, but I am married. So, direct radiators rule.

However, I do not like the sound of speakers and so developed a process for turning cone and other styles of drivers into single pass transmission line emitters. Does not matter what frequency ranges you might choose.

This is only important in that I am offering to treat a test case for you guys, that may free up your choices in the critical fundamental range. And, Romy will be rearranging my posterior over a tweeter I recently sent him to test sometime this week or next. So we know we will have a report biased towards music making rather than specs.

If one of you has a driver that almost works, preferably a paper cone but any type will work, I am offering to provide a small experiment that just might relieve some problems. Think about supplying your horn throat with a phase and time coherent flat wave. One that, like Soliton waves, holds on to it's energy coherence regardless of what it encounters..... anyone interested? It will be free for a few of you....
