What does one purchase after owning horns?

Larry, If I get what you are saying, you have even more reason to check out horns. Regular dome tweeters don't handle very much power (2 watts is common). Most horn tweeters handle about the same power, but are *also* lot more efficient, effectively making them able to handle a lot more material than any dome tweeter ever could.

Atmasphere,

Why do you say a dome tweeter cant handle more than 2 watts. I have done sweeps at 1,2,5,10.15,30 watts and never any deviation in it's curve, step or impulse response.

Drivers:

1. Dynaudio
2. Morel

All systems were tested as such before leaving the factory ..

Regards,

"Seriously, I've GOT to hear some horns, just to revisit...Duke, if you ever want to have a Beta Test Site...send me a pair...I'll write a Harry Pearson quality, prosaic piece and be honest to a fault."

Thanks for your offer, Larry. Shipping costs make it impractical... I'd probably be looking at ballpark 700 bucks round trip.

Tmsorosk,
Which 'panel' speakers have you owned?

Good listening,
Larry

Weseixas, here is my comment:

I am not saying that 'a dome tweeter cant[sic] handle more'. To misquote me here and then knock down the resulting argument is a logical fallacy called a Strawman. see http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html

The idea of a logical fallacy is that it appears logical but is in fact false. There are of course many tweeters than handle more than 2 watts, but 2 watts is indeed quite common. There are horn tweeters than can handle 25 watts; given that they are about 10db more efficient than many dome tweeters, said dome tweeter would have to handle 250 watts do produce the same output. Do you know of any that do that? I don't; but if they are out there they are pretty unusual.
