Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: T.H.E. Show Speaker report, and excess opinionated rants

| Just curious if you've heard the JBL Synthesis, and, if so, do you apply the same horn criticism? We could disagree here, LOL

Not this time, but I remember just a little bit from the previous year.

And I would 100% not apply the criticism to JBL waveguides. Given what I know of their seriousness in such matters I bet it would be awesome and awesomely expensive.

As a physicist, the notion of horns is appealing, increasing the acoustic coupling from driver to air ('impedance matching') but I think it is more difficult to implement and may require some serious scientific testing & understanding to do it very well.
