"...I don't think that it is wrong at all when taken from the context that I stated it was made."So we should glean from this that context of a statement is important to you. Even if the statement is made without any overt contextual qualifications we should be able to infer your context?
"For a home hi-fi system a GOOD LF horn is impractical. People seem to have taken this to mean that I said that they were bad - I didn't, I said that they were impractical. Eso's concrete horn is not practical, even though it "blows yours away"."
Now, where do you get that I have claimed my bass horns "blow Tom's away"? What I did say was "And I have built my own bass horns that make the labhorns seem like a boombox by comparison." Notice that I did not say SOUND like a boombox by comparison. I was making a PHYSICAL COMPARISON, not a sonic one: My horns take up about 82 cu. ft each and there are two of them, compared to a Labhorn which I doubt exceeds 32 cu ft. if not closer to 24. So try to keep things in context. I have made no sonic comparisons with the Labhorns and can not offer any further statement to that effect.
BTW, to say something is "Impractical" is making a highly subjective value judgement and hardly scientific. I have no doubt that something like what I've done is completely impractical for your home. The good news is that I did not build them for you. I built them for myself to fullfill my needs in a dedicated space that I also built: there are completely practical in the installation they were designed for.
Again, to make a blanket statement that an approach is impractical is erroneous, subjective and unscientific if the statement is not qualified by some specifics. I'm fairly sure that bass horns will never be big sellers at Circuit City and that they would not be a practical product to try to market to them. But from the numbers of people that have built Tom's Labhorn design and the quantity of Seismic Subs that Dr. Edgar has built AND SOLD I would have to believe there is a market for such products regardless of how you feel about their practicality.
