When Bruce realized a straight axis horn was a better choice he went with it. Like a good scientist.

Ah, did Bruce realize it of he decided to make his customers to Bruce realize it?

The throat size of those 80 Hz horns is correct. Regardless of convention. With JBL 150-4C's the bass is incredibly good.

Incredibly good? As incredibly good as they COULD BE if the throat were twice or trice smaller? If so then will be you using the same  15” JBL-150 or juts plane better drivers?

Time alignment ? It's not nearly as critical as many claim.

Here we go! Wait unit the Titans III will be coming. Then Bruce will “allow” the Time alignment to be important for the horns.

Rectangular vs round ? I doubt that a round version of Edgar's 80 Hz horn would sound much different…… My rectangular tractrix midrange horns sound very good... and so do my round tractrix horns.

It is only if you sit at the dead listing spot but try to walk around the room. Still, eve at the “dead spot” the rectangular horns screw the general imaging. Anyhow, in your case, Kerry, with all your “time alignment nor nearly as critical” and the digital “dreck”  the you use you have no interesting imaging anyway… :-)

As for nearfield listening ? Bruce does like some distance, but he knows that near field listening does work well with horns.

It is not what he was trying to convince some customers of his. According to the Bruce “the horn must not be used in nearfield”.

I think you are far too hard on Bruce Edgar. He actually does care about performance. And about value. He's a good man.

No questions, but the fact that he is a good man prevent to be “hard on Bruce Edgar”. I am not hard on hard on Bruce Edgar but on some of his very specific actions that I outlined in my “News”

The combination of Bruce Edgar's horn subwoofers, 80 Hz horns and tractrix horns is just plain amazing ( especially with a DEQX digital crossover/preamp ) !

Here we go again!
