Re: Need Good Definition with Low Db levels!!

I've had a lot of speakers through my place and there was one design that I repeatedly noticed had basically equal response top to botton at lower levels (ie you didn't have to crank it up to hear the bass). Those speakers were rear horn-loaded single driver designs (Lamhorn, Rethm, Loth-X, Fostex-Madisound designs, "The Horn" by www.thehorneshop.com to name a few.

The horn loading of the bass helps in that minimal cone excursion is needed to get the bass going. On the minus side, these hi-efficiency speakers lack bass extension below 60 Hz, but do well at low volume level and through the critical midrange.
