They are around, and pretty inexpensive, because you gotta know about em!
My friend has CF 4's he got on Ebay, the good ones w/the 5 inch ports for 650 dollars !
He is using an electronic crossover with 24 db per octave slopes, and crosses over from the twin 12" neo magnet drivers at 1250 hz.
He is using a Phase Linear 400 thats been tweaked on the 12's, and a modified Harman Kardon Citation Tube amp that has been blessed by Bruce Moore on the horn.
He used rope caulk on the Plastic Tractrix horns and the woofer baskets, and uses black hole in the CF 4 cabinets in place of the stock fiberglass.
What does it do ?
Shoot, what DONT it do ?
It will set up a wide, deep soundstage, shake the room, sound like music, etc.
for very little money too!
The electronic crossover is the secret I think.
Mine are bi amped, but through the passive crossovers, and cross at 1500 hz at 12 db per octave.
He is wanting to go to even higher slopes !
He's got all the latest shit to test with, etc.
The d'appolito array controls the vertical directivety, and of course so does the Tractrix horn for Holographic imaging.
I am talking pianos 5 feet outside and 5 feet behind the plane of the speakers too !
The electronic crossover allows you to adjust the level of the horn for proper voicing in your room.
I plan on bypassing the internal crossovers in favor of the electronic crossover soon.
I guess I am letting him do the work for me! LOL
I dont know what you have, but if you ever see a set of the un appreciated Cf 4's, my advice is grab em!
They are amp critical, big time, and very revealing of wire, source, etc.
But get em right, and you will be rewarded with a sound to die for, for the money.
I am not saying you will see God, but IMHO, they are a real sleeper of a speaker that can be had for very little cash outlay.
