CONCEPT COMPOUND HORN
A compound horn loads the speaker from both sides, a point source (fullrange) driver in a front waveguide / horn and back loading with a suiting horn as well. Unfortunately, the driver that can handle the 20Hz-20000Hz frequency range in such enclosure is yet to be invented. As with most back-loaded horns the compound horn design suffers from frequency overlapping which results in dips and spikes in the response. Linear frequency response is not possible with back-loaded or compound horn designs however the speakers built this way couple exceptionally with the room, hence the natural and favorable sounding construction. There is also a certain element of pureness while driving a set of point source fullrange speakers in a compound enclosure with a stereo tube amp.
