I'm not sure that you can make a rule that "this" is a compression driver and "that" one isn't. I'll stick with the brand I know. Take the woofer in the Klipsch Khorn, LaScala or Belle. They use the K33 inside their bass horns. This driver is mounted to a board with a sealed back chamber...

I posted that forgetting what my avatar was. I'll use it. You have a mix of all horn loaded parts there. Starting at the bottom you have two stacked single "MWM" bass bins. Each one has a 15" horn loaded, compression driver in them. As per above, I don't know how low they go...mid 40's...

I'm not an engineer so I'm certainly not an expert on these things...that said... I might be confused here with semantics. You're right in that (I'll use mine) some bass horn drivers have a sealed compartment behind them. However, my bass horn drivers are ALSO compression "drivers" (or at...

Just for clarification, are you saying low frequency horns, using a conventional driver are 'pressure loaded at its rear' by virtue of having some form of sealed rear chamber or, are you saying they are also compression loaded like a regular horn?

I don't know if it matters or if we're on semantics... I would think there is a difference between "wide disperson" and "even coverage" The way I understood it their goal is to have the same impact of sound as evenly balanced as they can and then, make this some certain angle if distribution...

I don't profess to know the "real" answer.... but here's my thoughts. I too love HUGE scale. To that end, I've always been a horn person and currently have some decent sized horns in the living room. Wondering about scale, I once sent an email to an engineer I know who works at Klipsch...

Thanks. My wife has told me I "could" (should) have a weekend get together during the warmer months. I'd have some logistical issues if more than say 3-4 people showed up for an overnight stay unless they liked the idea of camping under the stars or sleeping on the floor or (ugh) driving...

I can give an opinion. I think this is my first post here, seems I had a PM on another forum (forget which lol) and it was 9 weeks old... soooooo, pardon my late entrance! Back to topic: I've owned LaScalas for over 30 years. I still have them (bought new in 1979). I have also owned...
