hi Ivo

Right now, you rely on other people's opinions. Do you know if they are
right or wrong? How will you check?

I agree with you. But it makes no sense to try out inumerous things to find out what works, what not. I prefere to learn with others mistakes , than with mine :wink: and only built something by my own, when convinced, that i am in the right direction. I can achieve this only by educate myself the best as possible, and to hear actually what others say and experienced.

The thing with Bert is, he has tried a lot of things. He actually knows,
from experience, how certain materials will colour the sound, what effect a
certain horn throat or horn mouth have on the frequency response. Ask him a
question, he will give a solid answer. Bert's design philosophy is simple:
keep it as wideband as possible and keep it living room friendly. Those are
his reasons and his choices. What comes out are the Oris horns.

Everything are compromises, more ore less. The Oris have their positive qualities, no doubt abought that. But i will go for more than one horn in my designs. Integration and positioning may be more difficult, but on the other hand as small horn for the tweeter alouds better dispertion.

I respect JMLCleach as well and I have read things written by him about
horns. You must keep in mind that he uses a very different horn expansion
than tractrix.

The horn flair actually is not so different, what is most different, are the boundaries of the horn.

Angelo, it's time that you do experiments and find out what your reasons and choices must be!

thanks for the advice,

Regards Angelo
