no front loading? (BD-Design)

Hi Gordan,

i keep on forget to ask you for your opinion on front loaded (folded) bass horns - apart from size, is there anything else that prevent you from making one?

If size would not be an issue then the only thing left to decide against it is the clearly audible time delay. Not pretty if you are used to listen to better timed speakers... ;-)

The Oris Ultra or Oris Swing are a good compromise using some benifits of a front loaded horn without the aNoying problems. On top of that the bass is going a whole lot deeper for the same size...

A good build horn using a good ultra low Q driver with stiff memmbrane (not just a driver) will be unbeatable in the bass. Very articulated, dynamical and "light" but the integration problems usually makes the total concept worse...
