Half-size Orelo VS traditional midbass horn (Orelo/Orelino)
Hello, I'm a new user on this excellent forum
I have been planning a midbass horn build for a while, and then I came across the Orelo on this forum. Very late to the party, I know.
The Orelo looks very elegant and easier to build than an exponential flare midbass horn, and if I understand correctly, can be used lower in frequency with some EQ applied.
And I understand the Orelo is a waveguide, so will not have the loading characteristics and efficiency of a horn.
My question is, what is the difference in sound between these two designs? Will the Orelo provide the 'snap' and dynamics of a horn?
For the midbass horn, I was planning on using two Precision Devices PD153ER per side. I guess this may not be an optimal driver for OB application, as it has a very strong motor?
Stronger than the BD15. While horn drivers should have very specific properties, are there any such properties that makes a driver suitable for this application?
