Post Subject: Short midbass hornsPosted by noviygera on: 5/16/2019
I used to have Edgar 80hz straight horns and this was my only experience with short midbass horns. I did not like them in my system and sold them. Lately, I have been wondering about these designs in general and is there such a thing as a good sounding short mb horn? What I like about this concept is the time alignment that is possible with the midrange horn of similar length but other than that, what is the idea behind such a concept and is there an optimal application for them?
All I understand is that it is not a true horn but more like a waveguide for the midrange so in this case it should have a slight advantage over direct radiator but what do people think about these and is this just a gimmick? To me, the main point "should" be to cover around 80-500hz and have some advantage over similar bandwidth direct radiator. Is there?
It is easy to say they don't work but why? Or if they do, how?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
