I think that most of us here consider horns to be decade devices. That means about 3.5 octaves can be optimally covered. 800-8000Hz in your case. Extending the "highs" another octave means a couple of things. If a horn is "too short" you do not get m...

Maybe we in Europe benefit from 230V with half the amperage and not the grounding scheme? Seems to me that line noise would scale down by factor 2 when we get 15V from 230V instead of 110V when using "analog" transformers. [quote use...
