In Reply to: Re: Can the so called "horn sound" be fixed by digital equalization? posted by Frank Waelti on February 14, 2007 at 00:32:03:
Earl was done in here by his pedantry and pompous attitude not by what he actually had to say. I think he was offended because people wouldn't kiss his ass.Other pros come here and enlighten us without all the drama that attended Geddes, fellas like Tom Danley, Bruce Edgar, Steve Schell and Bill Fitzmaurice. Regular guys who don't talk to us like we're jerks.

While, I myself am not easily offended, I saw how Earl's choice of words ticked off a lot of people; very condescending at times. I remember reading some of his posts and telling myself "What he wrote was not what he really meant, what he wrote was not what he really meant, what he wrote was not what he really meant..." I even informed him that if he could be a bit more tactful with his words, then he would get better responses from people on this forum. He didn't listen and suffered the consequences. Either way, I don't think this forum has really lost anything by Earl not being here.
"Artemis is not the first person to ask the question here and elsewhere. And the answer is clear isn't it? "Horn sound" is an acoustic problem and has to be dealt with through acoustic means."Have you ever heard a really good HiFi horn rig? To my ears, most high-end boutique speakers sound far more colored than the best horn rigs out there. So perhaps the question should be "Can the horns be EQd to mimic the colorations of the most favored direct radiators. Again this idea was well addressed in Mr. Eizik's post.
"Let me put it this way: The High Efficiency Speaker discussion board had the participation of one of the few real experts on acoustic waveguides and horns, so it drove him away. This was not behaviour favourable to our own interests, was it?"
As Tom mentioned we have several of the leading figures in Horn design here already. I think Tom forgot to mention RCA-fan in his list...
Mr. Waelti, I'm sure Earl would love to share his expertise with you. Try contacting him through his company website...
