expertise = experience X intelligence a cockroach needs millions of years of evolution worth of experience to have the expertise necessary for it to be able to do find food. leonardo da vinci didn't need to experience flying in a helicopter in order to invent it. of course it is important not to overestimate your abilities but i don't think i am overestimating mine. i need very little experience to be right when others with a lifetime of experience are wrong. to answer your question no, i don't have experience horn loading ribbons and the only horn i own is the HF section of some JBL DJ speakers that i have ( 1.75" titanium tweeter ). but i do have an EE degree and i have been involved in DIY audio for about 10 years. knowledge is impossible without experience but in this day and age the experience doesn't always have to be your own. if that wasn't the case technological progress would have been impossible as every generation would have to start from scratch. i think i have more than enough second-hand experience to talk about the things i talk about.
I see, you are the guy who is in own crusade against wrong application of science and who feels that you know right scientific ways. You are certainly free to have this point of view, however I would like to remind you that this site is centered around the subjects of advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques and if you do not mind I would like to keep it this way. If you recognize audio as a modeling playground for your scientific superiority then you are in a very wrong field. There are very many limitations in scientific applications, as least in the way how science understood commonly, and something does suggest me that you do not have the grasp how to apply the “other rules” to your audio views. Yes, there is a very weak, completely unknown but slowly growing and exceptionally successful community of people who practice the “thin side of science” in audio but looking at what you advocate in audio as a solution I conclude that you are not one of them. (I am not one of them but the 7th Macondo channel will be designed by those rules). So, I would propose to stick to more applied audio repodaction content if you have any interest in it.
