RE: Front horns: FR cone vs. comp driver

Posted by Scott L on June 4, 2020 at 13:38:01:

I found some really nice synergy between a vintage Jensen Peridynamic horn loaded with a Tang Band w8-1772.

Exactly as per Bill Fitzmaurice observations, the native response of the TB-1772 is somewhat lean. The actual, real true response of this driver is NOT what the TB spec sheet says. The resulting sound is certainly a bit "laid back" but it is anything but dull.

There exists many, many systems similar to what I do, but at an even higher esoteric level. ORIS 150 horn, Azura surfer horns, and truncated Sierra/Brooks horns all loaded with various 8 inch full range drivers, like those from Lowther, AER, Voxativ, etc. In some cases, augmented by a super tweeter mounted above, but in other cases not needed at all. To my ears, all with more body/texture/tone than a compression driver in a horn.
