Illuminati (33rd Degree)

No offense taken. Comparisons with other loudspeakers are common, especially Altec and Klipsch. Each has a lot in common. My designs are more refined, but that's because they're more modern and I could take advantage or better drivers and better design tools. I truly stand on the shoulders of those earlier designs. The Klipsch cornerhorn was the inspiration for my constant directivity cornerhorn designs. Altec published a document that described how to aim the forward lobe by reversing phase and looking for the deepest notch. JBL went a step further in their whitepaper about the 4430. Each of these were pioneering efforts in their time, and I base my work on them, using those as a sort of starting point. So it's good to bring them up, and it makes a nice segue for discussion.
