| Why not horns? "Calling me smug is powerful stuff but unlikely to move you any further along in your understanding of horn function and the distinctions that exist from one concept to the next." -MacrojackIf I really don't care about horns one way or the other. ... | |
| Why not horns? And honestly, I'm not going to retract anything either. I don't doubt that you (Herman) teach electronics but I am still a little wary as to why, when I said "parallel", you assumed bridge and didn't seem to know the difference.I had written a len... | |
| Why not horns? If you take 6 different drivers, unless they have perfectly linear transfer functions, they will all have slightly different responses. If they all have the same input signal their responses should smooth to a more linear response.It may be to sma... | |
| Why not horns? "Those of you making categorical pronouncements about the limitations of horns - all horns - demonstrate the greatest need for education."I always love the smug responses. I'm not sure who you are calling out here. But everything I've ever said is... | |
| Why not horns? "Now if you told me that 6 would distort less because each is working 1/6 as much therefore distorting much less"YES!!!! That is EXACTLY what I am saying!!! (Among other things)What are YOU reading??? | |
| Why not horns? Good Gawd Herman!!!Sit back, take a breather and learn something!!First of all, Voltage X Current = Power (Watts)This is basic basic stuff. If you double the current you double the power! And what I said about distortion is also true. I mean serio... | |
| Why not horns? Ditto to Weseixas!I was just thinking the same thing about Duke's speakers.Isn't more of a waveguide than a horn? | |
| Why not horns? My take on the blind test was that the listener was noticing all of the same similarities that seperate Stats and Horns from typical dynamic speakers. It doesnt surprise me one bit that he guessed the way he did.I've seen the same thing with the (... | |
| Why not horns? Duke: Ah, yes! I remember now. Then again, your contribution has thrown into the light that we should be careful in defining exactly what "horns" we are talking about.Your Dream Maker is only a "horn" from 1.7K up. It's not a wonder it would sound... | |
| Why not horns? Bridging and paralleling are two very different things.Bridging effects the voltage. Parallel does so with the current. If a design can allow for paralleling you double the current thus doubling the wattage. You also cut the output impedance in ha... | |
| Why not horns? I read the following statement wrong so I'll try to answer it again."You are comparing 2 amplifiers that obviously have differences other than max power and saying it is definitely because they have more power. It seems you jump to a lot of conclu... | |
| Why not horns? @ Duke: I remember reading that same account of the guy who hated horns until that experience. I just can't place it.But I disagree. I've heard everything that has gotten any press in the last 10 years and more. Some are better than others. But I ... | |
| Why not horns? Sorry, let me clarify one thing.......The two 150watt amplifiers in question versus the one 75watt were simply monobloc versions of the same amplifier.Identical in every way expect the fact that the monobloc has paralleled outputs. | |
| Why not horns? "You are comparing 2 amplifiers that obviously have differences other than max power and saying it is definitely because they have more power. It seems you jump to a lot of conclusions."Well, for starters, the output impedance was cut in half. "Pr... | |
| Why not horns? How many different ways do I have to say this?A) the fact that a speaker HAS a 250watt amplifier attached to it does not mean that it NEEDS 250 watts.The reason for using this much is simple. (though arguable) The more power an amp has the greater... |
