Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

The folded horn in my Edgar Titans runs to 80 Hz.

crossed to mid horn at 500 Hz. (picture above in the home of the previous owner).

Think it uses a 12 in. JBL musical amp driver (99 dB) re-coded without the metal dust cap?

IIRC the length of the folded horn is exactly 1/2 the path length of an complete sign wave at 500 Hz so it's wired 180 Deg out of phase with the mid horn and both horns us first order X-over.

Which, of course, is a problem as the mid-bass horn driver is only 6 dB down at 1000 Hz and 12 dB down at 2000 Hz and etc.

Same applies to the mid horn. Driver is seeing 6 dB down at 250 Hz., etc.

I am now of the opinion that horns should the bi-amped and use digital z-over (steep) with phase/delay correction.

Especially as I mostly listen to digital steaming anyway. :-(


First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
