| Why not horns? Unsound, I thought I remember you saying something along the line that you would never have horns in your house or something to that effect. I could be wrong.Assuming so, I'd say the deck does not count as IN your house, but once they get that clo... | |
| Why not horns? " the only place that I think I might consider horns, are out side on my deck"Wow! From there, not much further to get into your house despite your pledge to contrary as well. Watch out! Macrojack must be getting to you! | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? The Bel Canto ref1000m2 Icepower Class D amps I am using on my larger full range OHM Walsh omnis seem to be able to go as loud as desired without an edge on most good recordings.These amps are high damping factor which matches well to the OHMs, so... | |
| Audiophile speakers that rock well Agree monitors + sub in general is a very effective way to go. | |
| Why not horns? " Ironically enough, part of my objection to horns are what I perceive to be their total poor cost to performance ratio."That is certainly true of some of the horns I have heard, especially the pure full range horn designs as opposed to the hybrid... | |
| Why not horns? macro,If I were you, I would temper my unwavering faith and passion with some more objectivity up front.Objectivity will help get the facts people need to make decisions out on the table. Unwavering faith and passion alone might be persuasive to s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Hmmmm, when I had my 100's, I thought John said that they wouldn't take any of the X000-series drivers due to size incompatibilities...."Most likely he had not adapted the new drivers to that particular cabinet yet. Over time, he seems to work ou... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Atmasphere,I suspect it would be hard to set up any meaningful comparison of an amp alone in that an amp cannot produce music alone without speakers. The results could vary widely depending on speakers used, personal preferences, and all the usual... | |
| Why not horns? Also I suppose the 4 driver approach would enable higher volumes with less distortion/breakup, which would be beneficial to pro applications in particular where good sound at high volume is needed in larger rooms using not many watts. Those watts ... | |
| Why not horns? " The 4 Ohm load might not be too appealing to many horn enthusiasts either."That would probably work against using most tube amps home audio enthusiasts often look to for use with high efficiency speakers.Could see it fit easily for pro use where... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? You guys are in way over my head! I can sort of follow the tech talk but have no way to translate that into results regarding actual sound quality to expect via the various design approaches.I'm curious to see the bottom line in the end ie what ke... | |
| Why not horns? Its an interesting horn design, but of course it is essentially only one driver to be built into a full range speaker system. Like most things, the results would depend on how well the whole end package is executed and the only way to know if it w... | |
| Why not horns? "but an upgrade for most people in terms of sound."In what way and based on what?You are not just saying that because it uses a horn, are you? | |
| Why not horns? Ok, enough beating a dead unicorn.Ha Ha Ha! Dead unicorn, a horse with a horn, get it? | |
| Why not horns? One last point on the horn loaded Walsh driver used in the German Physiks Unicorn.The increasingly pistonic operation of the DDD Walsh driver towards the lower end of the sound spectrum is what would produce the pressurization at the mouth needed ... |
