Will Open Baffle Speakers Approach the Speed and Dynamics of Horns?


Will a system like the Emerald Physics or Spatial Audio open baffle systems approach the speed and dynamics of a horn system like the Altec 19?

The Altec combines a horn with a cone bass.

Speaker type, panel vs box, will not change the speed of horn vs cone, so no they will be different.  However, some panel speakers do come with horns like PAP.

Dynamics - depends- it’s more of the speaker design than the speaker type

Speaker sonic preferences are subjective, always best to demo speakers yourself to find what resonates with you.
