If you are using a TAD exponential horn or TAD clone you are better off staying with a resistive L-pad. That horn was designed and voiced with heavy resistive padding to mate to a direct radiator. This became painfully obvious when one of my friends tried to bi-amp. The TAD horn and TD-4001 was so peaky and over dynamic it was unlistenable. We couldn’t stand to listen to it for more than a few minutes before it felt like it was splitting our scalps. If you try to use an autoformer attenuator you will get the same over bearing sound. If you want to use an autoformer attenuator you will need to switch to a more neutral sounding horn like a tractrix, conical, or Le Cleac’h.
