Hey! As it happens I have the Edgarhorn Titans, and I got them second hand, too. I don't have an RTA so I can't speak to that, but if you can point me in the direction of an accurate and inexpensive RTA, I will be happy to provide some info.
I think you need to be careful to hook up the speakers correctly because if they are positioned carelessly, they can present a weirdly juicy colorful sound when out of phase. It can be a bit confusing since the midrange horn comes separately and it is easy to hook them up wrong if you don't look at the crossover first.
After they are dialed into an exact position, which takes weeks and weeks, the coloration leaves the sounds and it becomes very calm, but like the ripples on water settling so you can see to the bottom of the pond, as you get closer to setting it up right, and the Sound emerges.
For me, it is not perfect, but it was a great horn speaker at a great price, and since I am not a horn speaker builder, it was the lazy man's way out.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
