About the BMS driver, I have tested this driver and found the hf section harse.
Having said that. the mid driver is quite good.
I spent quite a bit of time on the crosseover and could not tame the top end.
Best Bill
Follow Ups:
I've been thinking of posting this question and now seems like a good time.
While the only extensive experience I have is with the HF sections of Tannoy and Altec coaxials I think I can say that I like horns, and so would like to ask which ones experienced people think excel at their job. I know from a certain point of view it's hard to say what's best as personal taste obviously has an important role to play (and hearing a great driver poorly implemented could lead one to brand it poor).
I've often shied away from threads with questions like "What's the best amp ? or output tube?" etc. etc. but surely there are horn and driver models (or combinations) that were more successful designs or manufacture than others (in terms of meeting a quality standard that is, not necessarily in terms of sales).
Surfing the web nets too many names and model numbers. Is there general agreement on any particular drivers and horns as being top examples of their species?
Thanks
Well there are lots of good horns and drivers out there. Going 1" I'm keen on the Altec-GPA 902 on either Altec 511-811 horns or on Edgar saladbowls.
I recently bought some new GPA 902s and they sound marvelous; very smooth and silky, first rate clarity. GPA 902s are $210 each, a bargain for a top-shelf compression driver made in The United States.
The Radian 975 also sounds very good to me and also the JBL 2426.

You know, for us poor folks:)
Honestly I have been too embrassed to even bother to ask what prices run. Care to give me some idea what a mid horn runs (good to 250 hertz say).

Not avaiable yet, but this driver was used in Frazier, Klipshorn

Bill is too modest to recommend his own horns. So I will. They can be found at the Acoustic Horn Company website. Bill also left out the RCA permanent magnet compression drivers because?

Sorry I was remiss in not noting the RCA 9584 driver. It is the only historical driver available that has superb midrange output. Get one if you can!
I am not modest, just weary of all the hype.
