| Why not horns? Prez, you just said "I never said that Thiel was the only time coherent speaker out there" but in an earlier post you said "A Thiel is time coherent, which makes it unique in this regard." How can it be unique to Thiel if others do it?And time ali... | |
| Why not horns? A Thiel is time coherent, which makes it unique in this regard. Prez, what Thiel calls Time Coherence is time alignment, it is certainly not unique to Thiel. Google "time coherent speakers" and you will find many who make that claim including NSM,... | |
| Why not horns? You are correct sir !!However, if you dismiss all horns because you believe they have similar qualities that make them all sound bad then you must believe all box speakers produce sound with similar qualities. Not the that they all sound the same,... | |
| Why not horns? "severely delayed"How so? Of course I have made many compromises but that's not one of them. My mid-tweets are delayed so I am time aligned.I've heard many Thiels and countless other box speakers. The bass is not as good and you can't dispute that... | |
| Why not horns? "too large footprint" is relative. I have plenty of room."poor bass" is just plain wrong. I bet you a donut I'm getting better bass from my horns than you are from those tiny Thiels.. | |

| Why not horns? Thanks Ralph, that makes sense but I wonder how it affects the sound? I have the high impedance drivers so the mid and tweet in parallel won't go below about 8-9 ohms at the high end assuming a resistive load. So it seems to me all my amp has to b... | |
| Why not horns? Are properly implemented horns that rare? Perhaps, but I would argue that properly implemented high end systems are rare. I've seen a lot of systems in peoples homes that despite their best efforts just don't sound all that good. Most people don't... | |
| Why not horns? Unsound, I agree his posts are hard to read but your point isn't specific to horns and really has nothing to do with how they sound.here doesn't seem to be a consensus by horn enthusiasts as to; when exactly a horn is implemented properly. Perhaps... | |
| Why not horns? sorry for three posts in a row but I missed this earlier. Prez, I couldn't figure where the 26dB cam from but now I do. My earlier analysis was of the VK-75/150 and I did not know you were looking at the solid state amps.If you take a look at BATs... | |
| Why not horns? Ralph, interesting info on the trios. I have Duos with the high impedance drivers so I assume it is the same scenario except the mid horn has no electrical crossover; the tweeter does. It looks to me from their brochure that the cap is in series w... | |
| Why not horns? Al, I wasn't questioning your analysis, you clearly understand the technical side of things. I was just trying to clarify the mystery of why this particular amp could double power when outputs were put in parallel.BTW the specs for the VK-600 and ... | |
| Why not horns? Prez, I hate to keep beating you down but your analysis with dB is also offNot sure where you got 26dB but that does not equate to 400W. Here is how it works.The sensitivity of the amp is 1V, that means it takes one volt to drive the amp to maximu... | |
| Why not horns? Al, I too was unfamiliar with the design of the circuit, but one does not have to know anything about it to know that it is impossible to get more power without more voltage. Some are assuming that paralleled output tubes will somehow would drive ... | |
| Why not horns? Prez, I got your email. Funny you should call me a complete and utter fool when I clearly demonstrated your idea about power doubling when an amp is paralleled is wrong. The link to BAT said nothing about the difference in the amps except one has ... |
