Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

IMHO...

The main issue is simply frequency response. Back horns can (if designed carefully) boost the bass (for a BSC effect), where most small high-efficiency drivers are deficient. Front horns will boost the midrange, which equalizes those drivers with excessive high frequency output - which is most whizzer-coned 6"-8" fullrange drivers.

If you are going to use speaker technology from the mid-20th century, then using the tone-control technology of the same period can actually make sense. It's cheaper and more flexible than changing cabinets/horns!

I recognize there are many other meaningful differences, but I just wanted to point out the elephant in the room.
