In the Thread: Push pull compound compression driver??
Post Subject: Sometimes it is not meant to be.Posted by rowuk on: 4/25/2017
Do proper horns "suffer" from K2? Do you not think that the back chamber loading is part of the engineered concept? Are you sure that reflections from the room that travel through the horn to the diaphragm would not cause more trouble? How can you compare a heavy mass loaded woofer to a light compression driver?
I think that you haven't seen this because it makes no sense.

Hi Paul. Looks like blendet paste? Thats not an engineering approach...I know from small closed woofers enclosures this construction kills a lot of K2. But it doesn't treat the k3 or higher. So you gotta be careful to keep the balance. But as horns suffer mostly from k2, but got very very little k3 plus, that could work just fine. Its also told not to do that any higher than the lowest 2 octaves because of the delay between the drivers. But thats relative to the distance. In case of compression drivers you can get closer than in any other case. Actually calculating quarter lambda distance it should work up till the highs. But one thing you're right, you only know after trying. 
Unless someone will say he did (still waiting) guess i have to.
