![]() The wave guides use a diffraction shape of the horn throat adapter to shape the dispersion. In these designs fins with a particular geometric curve are used for dispersion along with the flare rate of the horn. The Yuich horns belong to the radial horn family with a particular flare rate. It can come down to how well either type is implemented and the impact of the listening room. Not all people agree on what’s best subjectively. It’s a subjective assessment and something you need to investigate personally. All of the current large format drivers use some form of the Coherent Wave Phase Plug. The main difference between a 2445 and more modern drivers is the phase plug. Another example is 2446 vs 2447 check the Library Take a look at the 2450 vs 2450SL same exact driver except the SL is throatless. All of the large 2" throated drivers are actually 1.4-1.5 when you remove the throat. ![]() I would guess the timeframe that it was developed in and what drivers were available at the time. You really need to listen and decide for yourself, obviously both can sound very good but CD offers better off axis response. I prefer CD type horns/waveguides so I am biased. I can't say anything about the Yuichi but I do have the M2 waveguides and they are really nice and enjoyable to listen to. I understand different strokes and the sort, but just looking for a generalization of the differences, whether they're things you personally like/dislike or just general perceptions. I'm not planning anything yet but trying to navigate all the options and compromises sometimes gives me more questions than answers. if going big like a 2", does the older 2445 function as we as more modern, non JBL offered drivers? Any merit to a coaxial in a Yuichi horn? But don't see them used in the Yuichi type horns very much. always considered the 1.4-1.5" throat drivers a good compromise between LF extension and HF. Is there certain situations where one excels over the other? I'm guessing directivity between the two types differ. how does the sound of a Yuichi type horn compare to that of a CD waveguide like the one found on the much more modern M2? I realize the horn and waveguide comparison is tricky, as they actually do different things in theory, but am wondering: Looking at the Yuichi A290 horn, the A480 and others of the sort has me wondering about how these sound compared to more modern waveguides like say the M2. Unfortunately my experiences are limited and getting a frame of reference for how things sound is tricky at best. Hope things are as well as possible given things.Īs with many, I've been left ample time to ponder things and have a few burning questions regarding horns and waveguides.
