    One doesn't usually think of it that way - but there's considerable veracity in the previous post :-)

    Of course, that was Col. Klipsch's beef against direct radiators; it's why he embraced full-range horn speaker systems. Unfortunately, he didn't get past harmonic and Doppler (intermodulation) distortion - a good listen to a pair of his heritage speakers (IMO) reveals that he may have been on the right track - but he didn't quite make it all the way home :-)

    Of course I am sitting here listening to Patty Larkin's live solo acoustic album a gogo on the Duplexes as I type this. All kinds of distortion (in terms of deviations from linearity) and limited HF and LF extension - but she is in the room with me... and that's a danged good thing.
