[QUOTE="joetama, post: 1506697, member: 564641"] A lot of the "audiophile" people do things just to do them. Guys who grew up on Klipsch corner horns will build folded horn systems or corner reflectors just because that's what they want. However, they might not be the cleanest and sharpest sounding device. I believe as John Bowers said a speaker system shouldn't give the most it should take away the least. With horns there is added distortion and phasing issues it is just a given and pretty understood. Let me see, to get 30 Hz out of a true horn design (least amount of distortion added) you need a horn mouth opening of 45 square feet. This is nine time five; if you do you have a living room big enough for that type of system you prolly aren’t a member of this forum and should be on the Rolls Royce forum lol… But, if you tune your horn to have low end response then it won’t be tuned for high end response. CD horns only work over a certain frequency range; they would be too big to be full range. When 2*(A*pi)^.5 is > than the wavelength, where A = mouth area of the horn, then the horn loads properly but when it is [/QUOTE]
