We all build out own sustains, even if we but then off the shelf. Regarding my ego, yes it was me, and I am comfortable with in the given context. I did have a feeling that you might not be frank in your comments, my apologies if I was wrong. Your dissatisfaction by a results you got form a SS far-machine driving the PS horns while blaming John Hasquin that he was apparently “not familiar with sound reproduction” was too ridicules to accept it sincerely. I hope you understand where I am coming from.
---OK I guess I was a bit harsh too. My apologies to JOhn also. I assure you I am quite frank in my comments. Nothing but hard scientific testing is going to convince me that something "sounds" better. IF we can;t measure it, then, in my world, it;s subjective, and anoyone can have an opinion.
The whole point iof decay is: it should soundlike the real instrument.
Now, the recording will capture the natural decay of all the recorded instruments in the room where the music wa made.
What should the speaker do? It shold have the detail resolution necessary to reproduce this decay, without adding any decay of its own.
I find that horns do it better than any other type of system. The horns I have heard let me hear teh decay better than any other system I own or have heard.
I have never heard the round horns that you have ( i took a look at your system) , so I can't comment on the sound. All my horns are the exponential flare types. I am not sure why a round mouth will have better wound 2quality than some of the other mouths, but I don't have any data on the subject. Certainly, none of the horn modeling equations use mouth shape as a parameter.
Yeah, I use drivers I can afford: the klipsch drivers were cheap EV drivers, but they sound fine to me.
MY altec drivers are considered by many to be quite good (they are alnico and sound quite mellow). But, a I said, I haven;t heard all the drivers out there, certainly not the ones you use, nor the horns you use.
