Post Subject: Why I am not a "horn guy"Posted by Paul S on: 3/3/2007
Based on my own long-gone experience it appears that every horn is "loaded" to sound just like a horn, in terms of length and flair versus frequency demands, not to mention phasing/cancellation problems that I would like to see/hear corrected digitally, or through any other electronic means, for that matter. Hard to say what the "bass" horn is made of, but I strongly suspect this would be a study case for your "oops" thread.
There is a reason that the best bells are made of bronze.
I would never again use a little horn like that for "HF" (my teeth...).
I understand that compression driver/horns CAN do the SPL thing like no other driver. And maybe that is why this person has gone as far as he has with his installation. Other than that, I am not sure why this is here. I never succeeded with horns but I did learn enough to know in advance that this set-up would not work for me in term of pitch, timbre and integration, not to mention the "jack hammer" effect.
Romy, I would like to know in specific language what you think about this, since I am obviously now well behind the curve on horn installations.
Best regards,
