Hi folks,I understand that ideally, each driver’s membrane ought to be positioned at exactly the same distance to the listener. But if you want to combine a compression driver/horn (from somewhere around 500-800 Hz and up) to one or several direct radiating driver(s) below, you either get horns ‘sticking out’ or will have to deviate from the abovementioned ideal.
(I would sure love to use horns all the way down, but at least in the deepest bass, I’m afraid they get too big – WAF).
Are there any rules of thump regarding “how much†(if at all) one can deviate from the ideal at, for instance, (a) 100 Hz, (b) 300 Hz, (c) 500, and (d) 800 Hz without compromising the sound too much?
I thank you very much in anticipation!Regards
