Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
MrTennis - You are impenetrably dense but I'm going to make yet another effort in the hopes that I can say this clearly enough. I have owned numerous panel speakers including models from Magnepan, Sound Lab and QUAD. I do not own panels today. I k... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I think Drubin is talking about not going round and round any longer. He didn't mention leaving the amusement park 
Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
MrT - Maybe you could increase your personal efficiency by changing your "handle" to something like "panelspkrlvr" or "planaraddict" or "wallofnoise". Then everyone who saw your posts would know instantly where you stand on speakers. This would sa... 
jeff rowland model one
Call Jeff Rowland and ask him. He is the indisputable world's foremost authority on this particular question. And I'm betting he'll take your call. He really cares about his products........and his customers. I've known him for 30 years. 
positioning of a horn speaker
The shape of the horn figures heavily in this matter. Mine are only 40 degrees dispersion pattern. This is pretty narrow but necessary in this design so that the horn unloads at the proper rate. Mine, therefore behave better with toe-in and I am b...

stereo for someone special
Does she want this? Or is she like my mother and Classic95's mother? Not interested. Are we so obsessive as to believe that everyone wants what we want? Isn't it possible that some people could care less about stereo equipment?And you are actually...

Lyngdorf RP-1 Room Correction Device, opinions pls
I use a dbx Drive Rack PA as a crossover and EQ. It also contains a real time analyzer with room correction. I'm not certain it does what you want but you can get it from Amazon for about $400 with another $90 for the dbx matching mic. After that,... 
Who bought ARC?
Maybe it's as simple as the owner retiring and cashing in his chips. Lots of successful manufacturers have ignored home theater. JRDG has even ignored digital.Why so cheap? Maybe so he could dictate terms and protect his employees.

Cogent horns
I'm under the impression that compression drivers (field coil or otherwise) vary less from best to worst than horns do. According to Bill Woods and a few other sources I have encountered through reading, only a conical horn can deliver the origina... 
Cogent horns
I sold my Zu Presence last summer and bought a pair of horns from Bill Woods of Acoustic Horn Company figuring if they were good enough for Cogent they were good enough for me. Bill also turned me on to B&C DCX 50 compression drivers which he ... 
Cogent horns
My system performs according to your descriptions using the same conical horn that Cogent uses without the field coils. I have never heard Cogent drivers so I cannot say how close I am to what you heard, but it raises in my mind a question of how ... 
Cogent horns
Ralph - I have large horns and a 2 inch compression driver. Where should I look for a field coil driver that can replace my B&C DCX 50?
