RE: And you heard them when?

In a direct radiator speaker the souce is mounted on a baffle and the baffle edges are of a large acoustic size compared to the wavelength of the sound especially in relation to higher frequencies.Diffraction is a problem.

The LV Olympians are multi way horns and there is no baffle. The sound wave has expanded along the length of the horn and when it reaches the edge of the horn the acoustic size of the horm mouth edge is small compared to the sound wave so diffraction is not significant.
