Are Waveguides better than regular tweeters? How do they work? 

Besides directivity, 2 important facts with waveguide. First the most important is the time alignment with the woofer. In 70-80's, the woofer was advanced, nowadays no care is given but the waveguide does. The second is the lower frequencies loading. The tweeter can operate at lower frequencies down to 1khz instead of 2khz.

Thank you for a great and concise explanation.

You guys should consider doing an old school 12” high efficiency 3 way floor stander with this new tweater. 👍🏻🔈

I've done some experiments if you mount the tweeter ahead of the wave guide/cone can give you better effects or actually have it wider apart not so close to the tweeter diaphragm can give you better low end give it to go

Certainly, speaker reviewers love to hear and test the frequency response of that wave guide for sure, like what most on BUCHARDT speakers.

This is interesting, we want to try it, but unfortunately it's still hard to get here

Is a kit coming with the waveguide tweeter? also, what about the increased center to center distance? Thanks.

What would you say is the ideal side wall distances to the speaker with a waveguide?

now to prevent thermal compression, by Creative Sound Solutions :D

thank you

I got some B&W 706 speakers and are low dispertion and they only sound good when you are right in front of them. If I do stuff around the room (off axis) they sound terrible. Too muffly! 😅 They are my reference speakers for my speaker building hobby. I make high dispertion speakers and I can walk around the room and still hear highs. 😅

Well, i only prefer wide dispersion speakers~

I think wave guides and horns are bad because they color the sound. They might be good at sending sound longer distances, making the sound appear bigger and giving a livelier presentation. But that's about it. Not good when you are going for a more natural sound.

Ugghhh! Ever since those buchardt speakers came out every new friggin speaker has a waveguide! This MIGHT be a fad.

It actually rang when you struck it! lol Not that that means it will ring in a speaker....it wont! EVERYTHING resonates! Its a Universal Constant. Do you guys- CSS- make custom speaker terminal plates? With custom engraving?
