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?

Weseixas asks: "What models are you displaying [at RMAF]?"

Duke replies: My current plan is to show a bipolar model called the Cloud Chaser. It's fairly new - not up on my website yet - but is described in my Audio Circle forum.
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.

Sorry, a complete load of crap.

Are you serious? You add up a bunch of errors and the total error is less than any individual error?

You've already embarrassed yourself with your theory about parallel amps. Might be better to retire now and save face.

I have a suggestion, I think all those that slate Horn speakers here who have not divulged what speakers they are running should.
I'm running 1000 watts on bass horn 550 on mains. My horns do run fine on low power. But to think only low power is best for horns is wrong. Many audio designers I know run hi power on there horn systems. Doesn't mean I use all this power but the sound quality's of the amplification I choose compliments my horn system.
Duke your loudspeaker design is interesting and I'm sure very well thought out but the name darn your as bad as me picking them ;) Cloud chaser..I was thinking of pimping your bi pole design if I do will name it the DL BP after you. I started this when we chatted awhile back but didn't want to step on your toes. But read where you do not care if others use your idea. I have what I thought is a great idea for cabinet to allow better bipolar effects and image. So far results are very good. Might be able to break the $2500 price point with this design.
