In Reply to: Giant Horn Speakers and Time Alignment .... posted by cids on March 6, 2012 at 16:11:27:
I'm not technical enough to know if mine are as mismatched as some of these or perhaps even more since my bass unit is folded.
That said, I originally attributed the unity of their sound to them being signal aligned. I was essentially bi*** slapped and told it was not primarily because of that but rather because I was listening to 2-way horns from previous 3-way horns.
I also use an active crossover with delay.
I was told to go to my active & change the delay to shove the two horns into a large disparity of misalignment. I ended up doing this.
When I went to the extremes, it was literally an echo so it was a fun experiment. That said, there was a range (and I have no recollection as to the values) where I personally could not tell much difference in the sound BUT, the important thing to me is, the coherency of them was "there" throughout most of the delay changing process. (until I got stupid with the numbers and could hear double-taps)
What that told me was in a practical sense, it's FAR more important to lose a crossover point if at all possible. In my system, adjusting for delay is more for fine tuning than a real fix for anything. (I use 2271 Us).
Personally, I tend to cringe when I see these impressive looking 3-4-5 way mega-horn systems as I have absolutely proved (to myself) that the more crossover points you can lose, the inherently better sound you will have. (presuming good horns to begin with)
