Thanks for the reply. I don't know what the term "forward" means. If it means the opposite of "backwards" which is what I heard from my Carver Amazing Platinums, then I'm assuming it refers more to room positioning rather than sonic signature. Either way can you please define this term?

I had TAD Drivers with my Klipsch K-402 horns on top of Jubilee Clone bass bins, but that combo had a ton of PEQ on the bass and shelving on the TADs to make them flat. They sounded great, but I sold them to make more room for a bigger flat screen OLED 4K in favor of a Danley SH-50 trio with room to spare for twin TH subs. I have a 2.1 setup in the basement with Danley's original Servo BT7 and a pair of TD-1's laid horizontal, but I'm not down there much.

The aluminum Radians will be here next week, so I will have lots of permutations to test and hear.

The Straight Axis Horns have EVM 15B's and have an inner curve to them, made of 1" Baltic Birch Plywood. I have never heard Dr. Edgar's speakers demonstrated before, but since they were for sale 21 minutes from my house, talked about on this forum, I had to satisfy my curiosity and cut loose some cash to do so. I had Klipschorns with a LaScala Mono Center for 30 years. Also many Peavey FH-1 bins (still have 4), LaScalas, and worked up to the big MWMs bins with huge stack of every Pro Horn imaginable (Peavy MB-1's, all the EV's, JBL Elephant Butt Cheeks, etc. along with all kinds of Tweeter horns. I also have some large DIY horns with JBL 2482's a Baby Cheek Tweeters on top of FH1's not hooked up). I have owned pretty much EVERY folded horn on the market over the years and always wanted a straight axis horn that went down to 80 Hz. The BEST speaker I ever heard, which brought tears to my eyes, were the Sadurni Acoustics Stacatto Horns with Subs at Axpona 2015, driven by Class D Hypex amps. If I had 40 Kilobucks and a big house, I would own them........but alas.........

I will report on my progress or lack thereof as the journey unfolds!
