Would like some Specifics on Horns offered. (BD-Design)

Do you normally use 2 amplifiers for an Oris System. 1 for the Bass and 1 for the Horn? Or can you hook up a passive Crossover and use 1 amplifier?

Basically always 1 separate amplifier for the bass is used simply because efficiency is lower in those regions and just adding gain makes the bass play louder.

It is a waste to attenuate the mid-high frequencies as this costs dynamics, clarity and efficiency when all is done passively.

Besides this it is cheaper too. In the low frequencies there are higher values coils and capacitors needed for the crossover and going active makes it more easy and cheaper to tweak. Just replace a few cents worth parts and the crossover is changed...
