Stereophile John A summation of LM loudspeaker
Posted by Kloss on December 11, 2016 at 06:46:18:
The LM tweeters a copy of WE 597A this transducer was designed to cover the range of theater sound tracks at the time its limit is designed in and not a design limit of all horn designs. Many horn tweeters exist that have far greater extension like fostexs t500amk2 and t900a. You have BE designs from radan many others exist. While you are right about size in fully horn loaded systems the need to be a 5 way is a bit off and many 3 way horns though giant exist that cover ranges from 40hz-35khz. With horn design you have so many compromises to make sell-able products that most horns are hamstrung. Horns match best with horns size in horns maters. With stereophile and horns you guys are so newbie that its kind of sad at least we have Art dipping a toe in. Horn loudspeakers are one of the most historically important designs horn loading is become near common place in tweeters. Face it horns are modern are a very viable option in loudspeakers and can do what other designs can not. This alone justifies a more open attitude to horn exploration.
