Loaded horn in tower speaker?

shon35us · 22nd March 2011, 05:45 PM

I was going to build a "tower" or full range speaker, but I'm wondering if I should you used a loaded horn or a silk dome tweeter?

I'm driving about 50 to 80 watts thur the tweeter

Horn loaded may offer better pattern control and may need less power. You could even get rid of the midrange.
