Transmission line speakers!

Hi group,

I just pulled the trigger on a mint pair of Falcon speakers. They are a transmission line design. I don’t see many speakers using transmission line. Does anyone here have any experience pro or con with this type of design? BTW, I have always liked sealed type speakers over ported speakers!

Thanks much!

mrdecibel,

I don't think we can agree to disagree in this case. The transmission line is the opposite; it amplifies the rear output of the bass driver, and the folded horn of the Khorn amplifies the forward output of the bass driver.

Roxy, do you understand that our ears are mini speakers, playing a role in reverse. Does not matter if the output is from the front.or the rear of the driver, imo. A mic is a mini speaker l8ke our ears in reverse.

Btw, I am a fan of isobaric loading, which is another way to do bass.

It's not a matter of opinion, they are different by definition, and what they do.

The bottom line of any design is how they perform and how musically satisfying they are.
