Post Subject: Any alternative to tapped horn ?Posted by Murataltuev on: 8/13/2015

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect. And influences in digital domain are usually terrible. But I'm not sure what other options available. I like tapped horn, because in working range 20-50hz single 15" diaphragm displacement is in 2mm range...and sensitivity is enough to drive it by SET amp. And nothing can be compared with SET driving even lowest bass! I had an experiment in my room comparing the best 2000W D-class and 500W AB-class transistor amps with 18W SET and even on cinema tracks choice was obvious. I don't clearly understand how you get your 20-50hz range driving by SET. Difficult to believe that relatively small drivers in sealed enclosures can do it. I'll learn now through your site. Hope to listen to your system one day if it is ever possible Smile
