In a front horn more dynamic has controled dispersion,less interaction with room, trebile will roll off sooner you will need to add a bass system probly biamp.If in a back horn you can get by without added bass system you will lose some dynamics trebile will not roll off as soon you can pick up more colorations from BLH cabinets then front horn.A front horn will need more room for drivers to integrate at listening postion.A blh you can use in near field.Add arround +4-+6db for front horn this means lower power amps can be used but also amps must have lower noise floor for front horns.Of the 2 I perfer front.And why not look into fostex lowthers while good do have compition.
Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?
Hi
Normally Lowther advice to use their drivers in back loaded horns like the medallion but Oris and Azura front horns have also made themselves a respected name in lowther based designs. So, I would like to know what are the differences in soundstage, imaging, inmediacy, low level information reproduction, room interaction,,etc between these 2 options.
A lot of people talk about the magic of the lowthers to make music present in the room, as grab and touch and to recreate the ambience of the venues, so,
Which one of these aproachs if properly used will enhance the lowther experience?
