Re: A live monitor with a tweeter but without a horn?

Horns are necessary to get the SPL output of the tweeter up to the same level as the more efficient woofers or you wouldn't hear them at all. However, if you're too close to the speaker the highs and lows can't integrate properly and the highs are perceived as harsh; six feet or so is the usual minimum distance for proper integration. If you must be closer get monitors with co-axially mounted tweeters such as those used in the Eminence Beta Cx drivers.
