Hello, I am new here... (BD-Design)

I remember about three years ago when I had two systems set up side-by-side with identical Lowther drivers- at that time they were EX4's. One system was OB, the other, ORIS 150.

You could listen to the OB (corrected by DEQX as was the ORIS) and be quite happy with it. BUT, when you switched over to the 150 the result was always the same by everyone who heard it -- Oh my god!! what a difference. The horn is just more fun in every way.

Extremely low Q drivers need horns - period. Of course you can flatten them out, but as Bert points out- why kill the sound?

If you want to experiment with equalization, I suggest the Behringer 2496 UltraPro. It is not a DEQX, but it will let you evaluate what sophisticated equalization can do and it is an absolute bargain. Then after you decide what you want to do, you can implement the filters passively for better sonics.
