RE: Front horns: FR cone vs. comp driver

Posted by PaulF70 on June 17, 2020 at 17:29:09:
This is exactly why putting full range drivers in front horns makes so much sense: they have both rising response and a serious deficiency in response in the power region.

In terms of back horns using full range drivers, I had them all and by far the best to me was the beauhorn, because it frontloaded that Lowther as well.

Of course the range of horn loading is limited, as with all horns. With something like the Oris 150, above 500 Hz or so you're listening to a direct radiator. And that works fine as long as you've got it pointed at you.
