Would mounting a horn on the front of a dipole ribbon cancel the positive attributes of dipole? Seems it would, but curious to know if anyone has experience with this or know of someone who has, and what their findings were.
Thought that got me here: the ribbon drivers I've seen have a natural roll-off at the bottom end, which negates their sensitivity.. when used in a dipole configuration, but can be lifted with a properly designed horn. I love the depth of sound from a dipole. Can I have my cake and eat it too??

@sap2212 did something similar with a planar driver.

I tested that with one quick adaptation on my dipol setup with excelent results. The multicell horns are selfmade for my next future open baffle horn sistem. Horns are not finished yet and only used for testing as for now. You will gain sensitivity and a much more better sounding dinamic system.
After that you can't go back.
