Why not horns?

From Geddes :

The waveguide features a state of the art HOMLess Refractive Waveguide PlugTM which minimizes high order modes which cause colorations.

I'm on the side of good sound Dukey !

Earls science is pretty big, hard to match him there , but this is audio, there are fundamental things that i do disagree
with Dr Geddes on and until i do get a taste of his soup i will hold on to such.

regards,

I use a Geddes-style waveguide on most of my designs, but it's not the same as the ones he uses. Nor am I using his patented refractive waveguide plug. In my more recent/less expensive models, I'm using what might be called a "waveguide-style horn", which is considerably more of a challenge to get good results from.

If either of you will be at RMAF, come on by my room if you get the chance.

RMAF ? R.eally M.ad A.udio F.arts .. -)

What models are you displaying ?

Before I completely lose my train of thought (again), let me do a quick tie-back-in: The conical horns Bill Woods (designer of Macrojacks's speakers) uses are arguably what might be called "waveguides". And when Bill Woods came by my room at RMAF several years ago, he subsequently referred to my waveguides as "conical horns". Maybe neither perfectly fits the defnintion of the other, but they are conceptually and sonically very close cousins.
