How do you properly set up a horn speaker


Hi- I have a set of Classic audio T1.4 horns that I am setting up - Do horns get set up the same way as regular speakers- I was going to use the cardas method but want to be sure that is fine- Also my room is 15x28 but at the point where the speakers are is a bay window(treated) that jets out to 17 feet so when using the calculator from cardas do I use the 17 feet where the speakers sit or the 15 feet which is the rest of the room- Thanks for the input-

They are treated no different. Horns are just waveguides (and yours are more like traditional waveguides on say a studio monitor rather than a true horn on like Advantgarde), and all they do is focus the far off-axis sound emission forward, giving you a wider soundstage and some added output.

Since Cardas isn’t asking your listening distance, it isn’t calculating for first reflections, so I would use the distance directly perpendicular to the speakers.
