Driver Types (Oris Horns)

Hi Rudy,

Have you ever experimented with different types of drivers in an Oris? I recently stumbled upon the Heil AMT and wondered how it would sound behind and Oris horn. I know folks have tried the Heil driver with other types of horns with some success.

Yes, many but mostly only types that "fit" acoustically to the horn.

A horn is nothing more than an acoustical transformer with most effieciency close to its lowest designed freqiency.

Things going wrong at the throat (think about weird reflections) will only come out stronger or disturb the direct sound waves...

Do you have any images for me to see what people did?
