Hi!

I have Oris Reference Basic 200 with AER MD2 drivers. With these very revealing speakers it's important to get all things correctly in position. The speakers placement in the room, toe-in, the horns placement in relation to the bas cabinet and so on. I'm very happy about the way they sound but I would like to know more about the acoustics theories. Why things work the way they do. To be able to optimize their performance and not just experiment without any knowledge.

My question this time is about time alignment: How are the horns supposed to be positioned to optimaly integrate with the bass. Are the voice coils supposed to be "in line" or should I place the horns so that the horn mouth is in line with the bass bin baffle? Why? Please explain this to a curious lawyer :confused: .

Thanks in advance!
