PSE-144 horn discussions

[_henry_]

The PSE narrow directivity is down to 250hz ish. It's practically impossible to measure it in-room. Unless one lives in a huge warehouse, I suppose.

yeah thats a pretty good reason to have it on the roof and minimising error

My PSE-144 horns sound just like their measurements would indicate.

Wow! A single point DSP EQ'd response plotted with a 120 dB scale sure makes things look good. Actually that would probably make any speaker look good.

Scale notwithstanding, one can look at the actual ripple and see that it is sub 1dB. How can anyone find fault with a response from a speaker that looks this good?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Has anyone made a passive version...
With off axis measurements?

I am enjoying my PSE-144 sound stage. Vocals sound incredibly real. I doubt I will ever replace them.

It is readily apparent that this type of design beats the crap out of all others. The compromises are almost zero.

They sounded great. But to be honest the scene was too social/noisy for a proper listen.

do you still have these? can you still buy them?

If there is a need for such waveguides we can do a group buy. Make from scratch with full roundover, dr Keele's style with better loading, translucent etc.
