    Tempest HORN LOADED

    Quote order rearranged for clarity: First off, this isn't your Q, it's your erroneous statement of fact. This is your Q: ".....is this more or less correct?", and as I previously noted, I've already answered it. Go back to my original response (post #23), review the first word of it and tell me...

    Tempest HORN LOADED

    Why....& why mention "pipes" if there is not one in the enclosure?? after all, this was my statement.... quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, it is not actualy a "horn", the sound just comes out of an enclosure through an opening...

    Nope, I defined the term 'horn'. GM

    Tempest HORN LOADED

    No, any positive taper (expanding) pipe is by definition a horn, ergo it's a horn since each driver is loaded with one and at some point in the expansion they are combined into one large one, and due to it sitting on the floor it's effective acoustic length is ~doubled, so it goes lower than the...

    Tempest HORN LOADED

    You attach a horn to a driver and sometimes enclose the back of the driver to make it a compression driven horn, but either one is horn loaded, i.e. the mass plug of air 'trapped' in the horn acoustically loads the driver, converting a high acoustic impedance load at the throat to a low...

    Tempest HORN LOADED

    Alex, Well, what can I say, you can put any driver that will physically fit into a particular horn and it will load some BW, but for what I consider good performance (I did say efficient loading) the specs I have don't work well for the LABhorn, or any reasonable size compression horn due to...

    Tempest HORN LOADED

    With similar/same specs, smaller driver = longer horn for a given compression ratio (CR)/Fc, but it can be folded more efficiently, so for a given minimum mouth area most/all of the size reduction is due to the smaller driver and any reduction of the compression chamber Vb. Another benefit...
