| Why not horns? Here's an excerpt:Conical Horn GeometryIm often asked how horns differ from one another, and also how different types of horns differ in sound and design, such as exponential, tractrix, and new versions of these which carry the names of their des... | |
| Why not horns? A hoosier!! Definitely beyond my radius. I haven't been that far east in almost 10 years. | |
| Why not horns? Herman -If you are in the U.S. would it be too risky to provide the first 3 digits of your zip code? That way those of us who pose an acceptable risk could have an idea whether to consider further pursuit of the topic. I live in 81521 and I feel p... | |
| Why not horns? Big world, Herman. Where would one "stop by" for a demo?I'm pretty interested in Pure Vinyl. Have been thinking about springing for the upcoming Parasound JC-3 phono section but I just sold my Technics SP-10 because we don't play records much thes... | |
| Why not horns? I agree about the benefits I find in active bi-amping. There's more there there. And in my system things are pretty simple. All frequencies above 400 hz. are emitted by a single driver with no crossover whatsoever. So where is the digital problem ... | |
| Why not horns? Now we're getting into things I really don't understand - computers. The first question I have to ask is, "Are all DSPs the same soundwise?"Since we're talking digital, is the cheapo as good as the upper end pro stuff. I chose to believe not when ... | |

| Why not horns? I'm not seeking inclusion. My horns are made of 12 identical cherry wood panels. Dan is right about the need for uniform perfection in the horn. The use of non-conical designs has as much to do with a desire to increase horizontal dispersion as it... | |
| Why not horns? Duke - Once again you have shown yourself to be gracious, considerate and knowledgeable. So, thank you again.As I mentioned above, I am not technically inclined and therefore not technically proficient. Awareness of that fact leads me to choose an... | |
| Why not horns? Herman - I just clicked on the link in your entry above and it took me directly to Bill's homepage. Are other people having a problem accessing Acoustichorn.com? | |
| Why not horns? My horns are the AH 300. Price is around $2800/pr.The link works for me. Go to the Acoustic Horn Company homepage. Then click on "How They Work". Then select "Conical Horn Geometry". That process will take you to the page I linked.In this article,... | |
| Why not horns? Herman - You have posted this already - or someone has - I remember looking at it. Here's an explanation as to why I use my megaphone:http://www.acoustichorn.com/tech/conical-horn-geometry/I would urge everyone who has a genuine interest in this t... | |
| Why not horns? Mapman - I agree completely. The proof is in the pudding - not in the recipe. Nonetheless, there is a reasonable ability to predict outcome based on past trials and failures. In this regard, specifications are surely useful to designers and scient... |
