Yes, Bill, and the fact that the suitable drivers for those Tapped Horns have lots of inductance, the mechanical low pass in concert with said inductance makes them unsuitable above about 40-70 Hz. unlike your Tuba HT's which can go at least an octave higher with greater sensitivity!

It's ALL a compromise!

You don't have to use that type of driver in a tapped horn. Danley does to make them as bulletproof as possible. One of the trade offs for the relatively small size of the tapped horn is higher excursion, so Danley has to account for that. With the prices he gets for them he can afford to use $500 drivers.

  Agreed, having owned 3 of his tapped horn designs and settling on the venerable TH-50 as the best overall for my current living room, and having designed/built a few of my own. I agree with you comment 100%.
