Dear Ken: In reply to your question about horn loaded woofers. I have owned
a pair of KLIPSCH speakers for about 9 years and have heard many of the
"newer" speakers. My speakers are fully horn loaded, including the 15"
woofer that is buried inside the enclosure in a folded horn structure.
The bass response is (in my OPINION) the best that I have ever heard in a
home speaker system. There are a few disadvantages though, they are very
large and very complex to build. I do not recommend for anyone to build
large fold horn enclosures. However, there are straight horns that you
can build fairly easily. The one that I would recommend is Altec Lansing's
voice of the theater enclosure designed to load a 15" woofer with a 
short exponential horn. I would like to see comments from other netters on
this subject as well.
