Paul, Bruce:

I too have read Dinsdale. Moreover, in developing the Horn Kit I used one piece of information from Dinsdale. That's this notion. If one is not trying for maxiimum efficiency, then one may chose to use one of those horn expansions which do not result in as high a pressure proximate the throat where the driver mounts. In doing so, one avoids, or perhaps more correctly, inceases the safty of margin, distortion due to "over" compression of the air column near the horn throat. That's why I chose a parabolic horn.

On a somewhat related note: Bruce have seen and if so, how do you feel about the discrete element model for horn expansions developed by Jean-Michel LeCleac'h?
