Why not horns?

Ohhh,

In case you missed it Macroturd ..

You are pissing on your own thread , I'm sure Duke is proud to have such an ignoramous as you for a customer! with your vast wallet and big ears your listening room must appear to have a pr of horns on either end ...

Well I'm sure it's now your milkey tme ! Many Happies......

Herman,
I reread your most recent post. Good information. Thanks.
I'm curious. How exactly did you go about implementing a digital crossover without any phase shifts or time issues?

Hello Herman ,

What brand xover are you using , can it do variable slope as well ?

Weseixas: "Which maggies are we discussing?"

Duke: I probably should have picked one model and stuck to it, which I didn't do.

Weseixas: "A speaker shoot out would be interesting!"

Duke: If a "shoot-out" could be arranged that was satisfactory to both, I'd put my $4k bipolar up against the Maggie 3.6. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like to explore further.

Weseixas: "I also cannot agree that a horn speaker will sound like a planer."

Duke: I'm not expecting you to agree without an ears-on; just hoping to show enough evidence that you'll keep your mind open to the possibility.

Weseixas: [to Macrojack]"I'm sure Duke is proud to have... you for a customer!"

Duke: I wish!! But no, Macrojack isn't a customer of mine, and now that he has a pair of Bill Woods' speakers it is extremely unlikely that he ever will be. I think he's done. Macrojack is passionate, and so are you. If you two had met anywhere other than on the internet, I bet you'd focus on what you have in common rather than where you disagree, and very quickly become friends.

Weisaxas: "Duke, Ralph, I have enjoyed the discourse and wish you both the best in such a tough business...."

Duke: Thank you sir, and I wish you the best in such a tough hobby!

Prez, you just said "I never said that Thiel was the only time coherent speaker out there"

but in an earlier post you said "A Thiel is time coherent, which makes it unique in this regard."

How can it be unique to Thiel if others do it?

And time alignment is not the same as time coherent.

OK, I read Thiel's description of time coherence, it looks the same as every description of time alignment I've read. I'm willing to be educated. What is the difference?

I have Duo Omegas on top. It is a first order crossover on the tweeter, a single cap in series with the driver.. The mid horn has no passive components. Details on their web site.

My woofer has no passive crossover, it is hooked directly to it's amp just like the mid horn is to it's amp. They are no order, no crossover.

Digital EQ/crossover can be non phase shifting
