In Reply to: compromises - at what frequency is the first horn in the system most critical? posted by freddyi on October 16, 2015 at 01:14:27:
Hi guys,
What I've found over the years is for those of us who can't\don't want very larg systems An 800hz crossover point to a good quality 1.4-2" horn makes a world of difference. The detail, dynamics and transient attack are excellent But still livable over a wide range of music types. I've tried drivers down to 400hz and could dial them in on one type of music but others just drove me out of the room. YMMV but it the
opportunity arises for such a system give it a try.
A 15" two way with 800hz crossover is still gonna cost about $2K with good new parts. Much less if luckily found used parts are sourced.
Those with unlimited budgets may just want to go with a Danely system OR one that uses the JBL cone compression drivers and be done with it.
