Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Making the move to high efficiency seems impossible...

This is a good point. A lot of audiophile horns today have extremely narrow dispersion creating a "head in the vise" effect. This includes, especially, the typical tractrix round horn. Radial horns have less of this effect, and vintage multicell horns can also be satisfying. However, for a more even dispersion, similar to a cone driver, some sort of contemporary constant-directivity solution would be best. There are a number of solutions here, but I would suggest a conical design. NOTE: all constant-directivity horns require equalization. Basically, by spreading the high frequencies over a wider area, you are lowering their level at any one area. So, you have to boost them.
