Weseixas asked how Bills Woods' horns would compare with Avantgarde type horns. For one thing, Bill's horns are constant-directivity devices, so the off-axis energy will have nearly the same spectral balance as the on-axis energy. According to Floyd Toole and others, this is desirable. I don't understand all the implications of the dodecahedral geometry, but it might serve to somewhat de-correlate the reflections in the horn body and/or at the horn mouth.

On another subject, I don't think mocking someone's moniker is productive, especially coming from one who claims to have years of experience as an industry professional. This reflects poorly on industry professionals, and invites the sort of escalation that would get this thread shut down or removed. It would be a shame for that to happen, especially if instigated or enflamed by one of us.

Thank you.

Hello Duke,

We:

Please , do tell when this was done , i have only answered questions and charges, never mocked anyone's moniker IME, unless responding to such....

Point noted !

Also, I'd like to see more info from other horn product gurus, makers and affectionados to add a bit more variety.

Not gonna' happen. Just go back and read this thread. Thirteen pages of very, very little value. (Sorry John, Duke, and Ralph.) From some of those gurus. . .

"It's the same old story, those who've heard/owned high quality horns praise them, those who haven't put them down. Not worth sorting through it IMO. "

"Humorous too, in that often the strength of an opinion seems inversely related to any first hand knowledge or experience of the subject."

"It would be a waste of time. Those who are already convinced that they hate horns won't be converted, those who know better don't need converting. "
