I know you're probably right on the money technically, but sometimes the damnedest things happen when you ignore the numbers. Not that I know anything of the science, nor personally want to. But imagine if we abide by the recommended operating parameters/numbers of vacuum tubes?krx wrote:I'm not aware of Klipsch ever making guitar speakers...

rough guidelines for QTS:
> 0.7 -- open
~ 0.7 -- sealed
0.3-0.7 -- bass reflex (aka ported)
< 0.3 -- horn
Most guitar speakers have a QTS of 0.7 or higher.

Finally got around to some pics...
The speaker is mounted higher in the baffle in this cab, than the one in the drawing. I can't remember why I settled on that. Also you can't see the opening over the top of the baffle in these images, it's too tight to get the camera in there.

Generally I would agree, but it's pretty indisputable that the low end on a high QTS speaker will sound like crap in a (true) horn enclosure.PaulBlandford wrote:I know you're probably right on the money technically, but sometimes the damnedest things happen when you ignore the numbers.
