| Why not horns? Macro, you seem to be all shot in the butt with "experts." Why should I believe Bill Woods web site any more than I believe other horn maker's web sites. He says his way is best. DUH! What would you expect him to say. If you visit other horn maker... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? I found happiness replacing a high end CD player with a computer...........Move onComputer based playback will soon replace CD players. A Computer and a high end DAC that the computer will talk to is the current SOTA.It is so much cheaper to distr... | |
| Why not horns? The difference is that some frequencies started before others. The delayed ones are a full cycle behind. They are still phase coherent but not time coherent.It's not that simple. What you describe can only apply to steady state sine waves. Music i... | |
| Why not horns? Prez, I hear what you are saying but I think the manufacturers are using terminology to confuse the layman in an attempt to carve out a unique slot in the marketplace. In other words, marketing BS. A change in arrival time is a change in phase no ... | |
| Why not horns? Prez, you just said "I never said that Thiel was the only time coherent speaker out there" but in an earlier post you said "A Thiel is time coherent, which makes it unique in this regard." How can it be unique to Thiel if others do it?And time ali... | |
| Why not horns? A Thiel is time coherent, which makes it unique in this regard. Prez, what Thiel calls Time Coherence is time alignment, it is certainly not unique to Thiel. Google "time coherent speakers" and you will find many who make that claim including NSM,... | |
| Why not horns? You are correct sir !!However, if you dismiss all horns because you believe they have similar qualities that make them all sound bad then you must believe all box speakers produce sound with similar qualities. Not the that they all sound the same,... | |
| Why not horns? "severely delayed"How so? Of course I have made many compromises but that's not one of them. My mid-tweets are delayed so I am time aligned.I've heard many Thiels and countless other box speakers. The bass is not as good and you can't dispute that... | |
| Why not horns? "too large footprint" is relative. I have plenty of room."poor bass" is just plain wrong. I bet you a donut I'm getting better bass from my horns than you are from those tiny Thiels.. | |

| Why not horns? Thanks Ralph, that makes sense but I wonder how it affects the sound? I have the high impedance drivers so the mid and tweet in parallel won't go below about 8-9 ohms at the high end assuming a resistive load. So it seems to me all my amp has to b... | |
| Why not horns? Are properly implemented horns that rare? Perhaps, but I would argue that properly implemented high end systems are rare. I've seen a lot of systems in peoples homes that despite their best efforts just don't sound all that good. Most people don't... | |
| Why not horns? Unsound, I agree his posts are hard to read but your point isn't specific to horns and really has nothing to do with how they sound.here doesn't seem to be a consensus by horn enthusiasts as to; when exactly a horn is implemented properly. Perhaps... | |
| Why not horns? sorry for three posts in a row but I missed this earlier. Prez, I couldn't figure where the 26dB cam from but now I do. My earlier analysis was of the VK-75/150 and I did not know you were looking at the solid state amps.If you take a look at BATs... | |
| Why not horns? Ralph, interesting info on the trios. I have Duos with the high impedance drivers so I assume it is the same scenario except the mid horn has no electrical crossover; the tweeter does. It looks to me from their brochure that the cap is in series w... |
