what about unity horns?? i havent heard tom danleys boxes but im sure they rock.. lambda acoustics made a horn that went down to 300hz (4 mids + a compresssion driver).. apparently they are out of business but damn i bet if we could get ahold of that unity horn it would sound kickass with 15"! I tried to get yorkville to sell me the horn lenses but they said no.. Tom probably has some patent on his stuff so we cant copy it? someone has to sell lenses for just the mid/highs right?? is it not possible to use the lambda horn? was it a illegal copy of your design tom?? input input! (and no i cant affoard the td-1 altho if i could i would! Heh)

Yes, Lambda Acoustics is out of business, but their drivers are now being built by AE Speakers. I know this, because I'm an engineer at this company. (I was really really hoping there might be a couple pairs of left over unity horns when we bought the remaining parts stock, but... I have bad luck...)
But anyway, Lambda Acoustics version of the unity horn, was designed to be marketed as a home listening/home theater speaker, whereas SPL was marketing them to the sound reinforcement world. SPL decided to start marketing for home theaters (see runt...) when Lambda Acoustics went out of business.
The only way to get anything with a unity horn, is to buy a SPL product, a Yorkville U15, or a close copy(steal mmhmm... eaw 730 mmhmm..... look at a SPL C^3 sometime...)
Just thought that I'd throw that out there to clear up any confusion.
