Can you tell me anything about the Eminence LT250 horn? I understand you've used this in the past in designs where space was tight.

I've been trying to come up with a design for a center channel to match my Theatre-3's and can't find a way to do it with the H290/295. The speaker has to be under 18" and the horn over driver arrangement does not fit.

I'm thinking a horizontal MTM arrangement, with a 12LF on either side of a LT250. Do you think the 60 degree horizontal dispersion is too narrow? Will sensitivity for the PSD2002 increase with this horn vs. the H295 due to the more confined dispersion?

thanks,

Is this MTM symmetrical arrangment an absolute neccessity for horizontally placed speakers, or is it a way for manufacturers to justify a higher price due to the second woofer?

I also found that a horizontal placement of woofer and tweeter may not be a bad as I originally thought. I was surprised to see in Loudspeaker Cookbook that a W/T placement performs better horizontally off axis than a W-T-W placement. It seems that the extra woofer in the W-T-W creates even deeper nulls at the crossover region off axis than a simple W-T.

My new question is, what's the difference between Eminence H295 and the SST1. According to spec, they both have the same cutoff and dispersion pattern. Yet, they're different in shape. I used the H295 in my Theatre-3's and would like to keep a CD horn for centre channel. The SST1 is several inches more narrow than the H295 and would allow to to place the two drivers closer.

thanks,
Gar.
