Horns and 2in Drivers


Anyone here using horns with a 2in drivers setup?

B&C (Italian made) DCX 50 is a 50 mm or two inch compression driver. I use these with Bill Woods Acoustic Horn Company AH300 horns. Agree with Jsadurni -- nothing like it. Since I have been using these, conventional box speakers seem like toys.
IMHO a 6" loaded horn would be a minimum requirement but obviously it's a case of getting the proper mount and experimenting with the angle so that everyone in the room is happy.

10 year old revived thread - hardly relevant as is? Oh, well..

If by "2in drivers" is meant the exit diameter, then yes: the B&C DCM50 midrange compression driver in my main speakers sports a 2" exit, but not in tandem with the way compression drivers are usually configured - i.e.: with a voice coil diameter the same size as the diaphragm - the B&C unit uses a 2" voice coil coupled to a 5" (paper composite) diaphragm, much the same way as the RCA MI-1428 field coil driver of yore (build from the late 1920’s, if I’m not incorrect), the vintage driver B&C has sought to more or less replicate with the DCM50. As implemented in my speakers the sonic result is wonderfully uninhibited, unflappable (at any SPL), insightful, and naturally warm.
