[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1275338, member: 555320"] Size, for one [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] The minibodies generally can't extend as low in frequency as the full bodied horns. Mini's need highpassed in the 1100-1200hz area generally, while the full bodies can extend down to ~800hz (can go down to around 550hz if you don't listen at loud volumes and have a very steep xover slope) Everything. Totally different compression drivers, in some instances different horn bodies, totally different sound, etc etc. IIRC (going from memory, so don't quote me) in general the CD1's have better top end extension and the CD2's have smoother and better sounding midrange. CD1e's are entry level....decent sound when tuned right, but not on the same level as the others in terms of sound and efficiency. And then you have different versions of the CD2, such as the Maylar diaphram, Neo motor, etc etc. USD Audio ([URL="http://www.usdaudio.com"]http://www.usdaudio.com[/URL]), Crossfire now has a pair of horns and Illusion CH1's (though they are currently not in production) USD has different levels of horns, from entry level on up to super-mondo expensive (like $4k for a pair). The Illusion's would be comparable to the CD2's. Crossfire's I'm not sure about.....don't know much about them at all. [/QUOTE]
