Yuichi A290, TAD TH-4001, Yamamoto F350, Crowe ES290: Horn in Your 2 or 3-way Speakers?

[ajant]

The specifics of horn design in speakers utilizing compression drivers determines numerous aspects of sound quality. And of course, the ultimate test of any well designed and built speaker is in the listening. Therefore, I’m hoping that I might be invited to hear speakers using any of these horns. Having these actual listening experiences will best enable me to decide between these horns for building my speakers.

I have my short list of drivers for a two or three way design: Radian 745 or 951neoBe, Yamaha JA6681B, SB Audience 65CDNT, B&C DCM50.

These are my Altec midwoofers. https://josephcrowe.com/blogs/news/altec-416-8b-in-100l-sealed

My subs. https://www.rythmikaudio.com/F12.html The Altec and Rythmik sealed cabinets were built by Jim Salk.

I would only need for your system to include a nice DAC with a USB input. That way I can play via my laptop uncompressed WAV files of CD track rips and what I believe are high quality Youtube files of live concerts.

I’m in New York and can travel a respectable distance by rail within the US.

Thank you.

You should add to your list the horns and drivers from Classic Audio. https://classicaudioloudspeakers.com/
The field coil midrange is really worth the money, and adding a Tungar tube power supply is another significant future upgrade.
