Yes, Tuga, I realized the he was here. The tapped horns and the midbass horn was an interesting move but the use of digital crossovering option and SS PP amplification of course set all bets off and make the installation boring to even to think about.

You should have to check Tom Danley's speakers at http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/. He has quite a few tapped horn subs and Synergy horns for PA, but there are people using his speakers at home, like myself. I have changed from Avantgarde Acostics Trio horn speaker to his SH 50 then to SH 100Bs, but I use his SH 100 and SH LPM for different PA and Home Theatre projects.

Thanks, ferenc. I know that Tom Danley is out there with his horns but I never looked what he does. The Avantgarde Acoustics Trio bass sections of cause were good for nothing. No wonder that you like any alternative option. The Danley’s site has a paper about tapped horns, I read about it but I generally do not get a lot of useful information from “white papers”.

The same was here, I disagree with some of the Danley’s statement and I found that some of his comments are just irrelevant from the perspective of how Sound is made. Still, I did not hear the Danley’s tapped horns and I have no idea what he is trying to do.

Anyhow, Tom Danley looks like has an interesting small footprint horn that is similar to what KCCT82 uses.

Again, I am bit defensive about some of the horn characteristics and what I read between the lines but who knows, if I heard it in context of a rational installation then I would be able to say something definitive. I generally, as you might read before, am against the “open bottom” horns and consider them as a topological mistake. Would the Tom Danley’s trapped horn be an evidence of it or will it be able to battle my reasoning? I do not know. The trapped horn idea, from what I can see, has all justification to become a quarter-ass solution or the solution for the people who hear via SPL and “white papers” but, despite me do having some negative premonitions, I would hold my final judgment.
