Chief bonehead

Believe it or not I have done my share of horns. You have to set parameters in order to compare responses. But I am done with this. I went back to the original question for this thread and I have tried to answer it best I could.

The definition is not the problem. It is the arrogance of one the "experts" on this forum to totally decide they "know" how the horn was designed. That is a problem on this forum. Getting back to the original question. Why not a round tractrix horn? I say sure. Probably the biggest obejction would be that the coverage pattern of the horn in the vertical would put a lot of energy on the floor and ceiling.

Right djk. I just don't know what the heck I am talking about.

Sorry. You are right. Time alignment in a khorn is doable. But most people stop there. And forget the all important phase response of each driver/horn combo at the desired acoustic crossover point. And then once you get that info then you have to make sure you are still in the correct time relationship for that freq. in other words you could rotate the position of the freq thru delay and get a flat curve but actually be on a cycle behind that will be audible in transients which is what music is. I have done it in years passed and the best description I can use is that it "tightened" the sound of the khorn. Well worth the effort.

Use all the Ps you want. If the area expansion is not following the equation then you can call it anything you now can't you? It does matter how you slice it.

They call it the conical equation for a reason. Come on doc! Nit picky? Pay attention to the 20%..........

Actually I have read the patent. So all the acoustic sources are placed in a "blender" and comes out coherent. Linear phase is a misnomer. A consistent phase curve that "goes down" is the best can do. Just measure acoustic phase of a single driver. So I guess the manifolds that klipsch and ev did and whoever else did them were also "linear phase"?

He never tilts at all.....

What would be interesting to measure is turn one driver on. Then another and then another......and see what the resultant curve does. Is the acoustic summation coherent or incoherent?

I will ask you the same question. With some many acoustic sources, the Darnley is phase coherent? And it is absolutely possible to get two acoustic sources operating in different bandwidth to be phase coherent. And time alignment is only part of the solution. A single driver will absolutely have a phase response that changes.

Or go with Synergy Horns from Danley. Seriously.[/quote Seriously? How many acoustic sources are in that speaker?

And what is it exactly tha paul wished he had thought of?

Really?? And just how would you know that? Or is it just the last 1.8769375". Lol!

seriously?? Is there really an issue or is that you have to have an issue to justify what you do? Lol!! Chief bonehead says....what a bonehead!! I love you man! I have to find a way to come have lunch with you so that I can replace some caps, coils and resistors......in that noggin of yours.

Look in the mirror my friend..... Damn, you again? What happened to you? You used to be reasonable.

Well behaved how? Flat power response? Flat power response? Or that it would throw a fit when you don't buy it candy and says yes sir and yes ma'am?

Look in the mirror my friend.....

Good night deano.

You have forgotten quite a bit. Slowing down doesn't help you. It's your arrogance that hinders you.

You are amazing. So now you know what I think. And you don't piss on anybody as long as buy your magical networks. Carry on.

Oh i get it and I am a bonehead. So what does that make you, mr expert?

No bonehead. Marion doesn't want to, get it?

I like!!

Well then go there and spill your nonsense. Because he doesn't want to get it? And he doesn't piss on people that do. You could learn a lesson from Marion. It's called respect and being humble. Eat a slice.
