Another way of looking at this is simply a choice of which parameters are most important to a designer and the resultant optimization (hopefully) of those choices. AFAIK, you can't optimize all possible performance characteristics...

I wouldn't expect power compression effects to be a big player for ob as the power requirements to move an lf driver to full excursion in free air are modest, coupled with typically good convective cooling in an ob alignment. Excursion...

Quote:Originally Posted by spyboy  It is also true that some people can consistently do better than chance in listening at the upper margin. I'd love to read more about that. Happen to have a link or know where these tests were...

Quote:Originally Posted by DonH50 Actually, my conductor has just one stick, but he does vary pace and timing, sometimes with little or no warning. I suspect he needs a better jitter filter. Had a guest conductor once who just made...

Thanks for the explanation jn. As always, but hopefully not always just in a knee jerk way, the natural question forming in my mind is "can we prove audibility of such phenomenon?" Especially in cases like you made, where there is a...

OB sets out to address a very specific problem: uncontrolled directivity in conventional speakers. Briefly, this refers to a typical box speaker radiating sound in all directions at low frequencies and only radiating sound forward at...

Some odd information re dipoles continues to seep into the discussion. But whatever... the great part about DIY is that you can build and then measure and listen for yourself.

Its worth noting that adding horn flared baffles to an open baffle will result in asymmetric front and rear lobes. Power response might be usable, but lots of careful measuring is in order.
