Wayne,

This horn is used 200 to 800Hz. Seems this is an appropriate range for it. However, compared to a simple open baffle 10" driver, used in exactly the same frequency range sounds much cleaner, more natural.

I was very surprised, I thought the midbass horn would be much better in this application (what it was made for) but it doesn't. It must be a problem in the driver ( JBL e120 ) or the horn enclosure. But which is the problem?

Something tells me that the 12" JBL e120 is a driver made for loudness -- not clarity or articulation. Could this be it?
