Should what type of music you listen to be included in the opinions? Would light, airy, lit from within sound be desired by people who listen to chamber music, classical in general and softer jazz? Would rock, pop and harder jazz listeners prefer a different sound? I don't know, but it seems like a possibility.
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
Consider both designs are done right and your other equipment is well matched with the speakers. Do you have any preference when it comes to sound quality? Is it matter of economic decision when it comes to price? - power amps can become very expensive when power goes up, on the other hand large, efficient speakers are expensive as well. Is your decision based on room size? I'd love to hear from you on the subject.

Good phrase - "alarms ringing" since that's what the sharp edges cause worry of - ringing. I get the impression from my listening that the ringing back to the throat is generally fast enough that it doesn't cause the kinds of issues that I thought - peaky, ear piercing response types of sounds, although perhaps it can if the horn is big enough. I've heard some of the really big diffraction horns bothered people in the past but it could be they just weren't well equalized. So I think I agree with you that properly equalized diffraction throat horns can still sound quite smooth and natural, although some imaging and detail might be obscured. The better high frequency dispersion may be more than worth it in many scenarios. |
