After the correction the linesouce in the eg would not give anything up to the SET setup and will still have more dynamics..97/99Regards,

AL,Yes 15 db down not 24 , my apologies guys .....

Hello AL, No your calculations are off the distance increase is 4M making the reduction 24 DB for a total of 76..Regards,

Note:OP had used the word efficiency, but it was obvious he mean't sensitivity..regards,

Anything scientific to add macrojack?....thought so, this is not about horns vs the world , so no need for your insecurities to fly !!!We are discussing sensitivity more over i'm trying to point out it is not as simple as comparing the published n...

Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Hence the 3 db drop of per doubling would only apply to the Conical upper midrange/high horn and not to the system as a whole with these hybrid horn systems...regards,

Also in a system where the bass driver is loaded directly to the room, the drop off between both drivers are different in the critical lowmid/midbass region .When purchasing such an hybrid setup system listening distance is very important and shou...

Ahhh Charles1dad, A cylindrical horn does, it is the same as a linesource, unfortunately some call small waveguides horn and there qouted sensitivity is misleading ... My Point;We have to be careful when we compare speakers and there listed sensit...

Hello Charles1dad,To achive 94 db@5M the SET.horn combination in my eg would require 64 watts from it's 20 watter, the planer approx 90 watts from it's 200 watt amp. Also to achieve realistic size, dynamics and lowest distortion( not just the loud...

OK as i had mentioned manytimes before we need to give an REFERENCE when we are determining sensitivity each meter represents a 6 db drop for the horn as opposed to to a 3 db drop for a planer/ribbon/ESL linesource. We cannot compare Sensitivity w...

Hello Unsound,@ 15 feet the 100db/w/m horn would have an out put of 76 db/w the planer would have an output of 74db/w, what is it you want me to refigure ...?regards,
