Why not horns?


I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use 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, Bill explains his reasons (and how he reached them) for using the conical horn rather than something flared.

How do you determine what is a "true horn"? It would seem that you have set an arbitrary picture in your mind of what a horn is to the exclusion of any variant.
"Are you a cartographer?"

I am a software engineer with a background in digital cartography and related systems.
Is that for the horn or the horn + driver? If for the horn that's pretty expensive. You can get a solid wood horn from Jeffrey for a whole lot less.

I tried http://www.acoustichorn.com on 2 computers and can't get anywhere.

Not really. You can see from my system I have 2 variants. If possible I would have constructed the bass horn as a continuous flare but it would have been impossibly difficult. From what I am told by people who I trust a flare is better than a cone.. I am open to other possibilities.

I didn't say yours are bad, I simply suggested you might want to explore other possibilities. You seem a bit defensive.

Herman - I just clicked on the link in your entry above and it took me directly to Bill's homepage.
