In Reply to: RE: one horn allowed posted by el`Ol on June 10, 2012 at 03:32:37
WE 15a from 100 hz up to 4khz supposedly.
But why limit yourself?
On a more reasonable level I would use a front horn for the most complicated musical range from 100 hz up to 1 khz.

For domestic use, is it really necessary to have horn dynamics in the frequency range where the human ear is most sensitive, and energy is relatively low, and pay with colorations?
I recently heard an ATC dome and thought, who wants more in the midrange?
Imagine a system with an ATC dome, a RAAL ribbon, a straight bass horn as large as the room can stand and a closed sub.
Most horn lovers who saw such system would intuitively say this is the wrong way round, but is it?

I spent some time talking with Klipsch's Chief Engineer in their commercial division about this. He says the BASS is where there is the MOST cone movement. If a cone moves, it distorts. A midrange doesn't move much and a tweeter even less, yet, this is where people put horns first rather than last.
I would say your thinking is correct. I have ALL horns in my system and there is very little coloration in the K402 with the Klispch K1133 driver.
But yes, I have a tapped horn sub from 15-70 and an EQ'd FH-1 with Klipsch woofer from 70-400 Hz. I'm very spoiled by the impact, low group delay, definition and overal "track every note" bass that I get, especially on kick drums.
I would say 100hz horn is almost as big as a room can stand!
Unless you fold it or not time align them.
WE 15A cannot be time algined to bass and so they seem to use "accesory" bass.
It is alread very complicated to get a bass solution to behave like a horn, lets call it speed: For WE15a it seems the best solution fr Bass is OB:
I understand what you are saying and that is why I didnt say 500hz to 8khz with your typical compression driver or even try to extend it to say 400-300hz.
Likewise, I dont think ATC will match up good to a horn, maybe some nice green cones...
