Mid bass. too little for real lows. Pretty, but can't see the extra effort over 816's
Well they don't have the parallel walls that have been mentioned many times as being less than optimum.Quote:

That also looks like a diffraction horn on top. If so it's mounted wrong. A diffraction horn's widest dispersion is across the narrowest dimension. If the HF is not a diffraction horn, it's horrible. Not tall enough.
An exercise in pretty by somebody who doesn't know a lot about speakers.
It looks like a Smith horn on top. I've only seen them mounted horizontally. The whole thing has the look of a Japan only JBL effort.

Sure they get turned horizontally, but that one just isn't done right, no baffles in the throat. It therefore is NOT a Smith horn, it is a diffraction horn.

It's Japanese, I really doubt JBL would have done it like that.
I stick by the last line in my last post. An exercise in pretty by somebody who doesn't know a lot about speakers.
It's a Tad exclusive 2301 . Here is the post.

Tad driver, but it's a Pioneer, thus consumer oriented. And not any TAD HF horn I have ever seen. If you can provide info where these were marketed as TAD I'd like to see it. I have seen other Exclusives, they have always been Pioneer. Before someone points out Pioneer owns TAD, GM owns Cadillac. Doesn't make a cheap Chevy into a Cadillac.
Sorry I just plain do not like that horn.
Licorne BTW you have gone back to not labeling off topic.
Agreed.Quote:

Not Altec but I thought I would post here. Would the Altec 604/605 drivers work in something like this?

It will exaggerate the 604's lack of deep bass. Gains from that small horn will be above 160 Hz or so.
Are these any good?
