Dipole mid + horn tweet = strange marriage --) divorce

66.81.171.245

Hi Quad,

Mixing a fixed pattern front dispersion tweeter horn with a dipolar bidirectional dispersion midbass always sounds bad when I listen at professional or DIY events. I think you will quickly find this to be a strange marriage that will end in divorce.

HORNS are designed to generate only forward, controlled pattern dispersion and minimize room interaction. Your ears are the microphones.
DIPOLES are designed to use room diffusion effects to enhance the recording.

I do not know of a "Class A" rated speaker with this configuration.

Dipole planars like the BG3 or HEIL are becomming the requested tweeter for full dipole speakers.
