i thought front horn with a cone would be easier to create a fully integrated full ruange 30-20k system . a cone attached to a horn offers greater bandwidth flexibilty and can easily cover 250-2000...so they avoid cutting the critical voice region. or so i thought... after trying 4 different 8" cones attached to horns, i gave up. the cones/horns i tried included edgear, jbl, ev, Lowther, prospect... they just sounded dull compared to compression drivers. it maybe easier to get right but it will not sound as good as a compression driver. i am not tempted to try them again.
