As you apparently experience with your co-ax drivers, not everything designed for 'pro' use should be rejected out of hand.
Yep, some of them are indeed very good. I am very impressed with the P-Audio driver that we use in the Super-V. Honestly though I have found few that are close.
Okay let's step back a minute an assume that what you say is correct and make a comparison.
The entry points for the mids are placed 1/4 wave at xover from the throat. The asymmetrical xover slope coupled with the inherent bandpass nature of the mid mounting arrangement results in a linear-phase / time coherent xover. The same principle is at play in the mid-to-woof xover.
My Super-V uses the P-Audio BM12CX38 driver. It is a coaxial design and the tweeter is offset about 2" from the voice coil of the woofer. So the tweeter is delayed in time slightly compared to the woofer. The crossover point is 1kHz. So at the crossover point the the driver offset is about 1/8th of the wavelength, or about 45 degrees of phase rotation. The crossover is an asymmetrical design (electrically) that yields matching acoustic slopes. The crossover does have some time delayed effects but does not create such a shift that it becomes linear-phase or time coherent (nor could it).
Now the tweeter in this Danley designed horn looks like it is about 6 inches back from the mids. You say it is 1/4 wave off (mids to the throat). Okay that would be about 4" back from the mids if the crossover point is at 1kHz. That's 90 degrees of phase rotation at 1kHz or half way from being out of phase. However, it is stated to be linear-phase / time coherent. Really? So pardon me for jumping to an obvious conclusion. Maybe you can explain how that monstrosity of a crossover is going to compensate for all of that physical driver offset.
If in fact is is time coherent then what would the effects of that be? Well all room reflections aside it should image very well as all would have perfect time arrival. If this is the case then how was the imaging dheming?
However they did not image very well at all, at least in that setup.
Funny thing is that the imaging is also greatly effect by the capacitors used. Capacitors store and release energy. Some are quite fast and cause little time delay smearing. Sonicaps are really good in that regard, and many report upgrading to them greatly improved imaging. Other caps like Electrolytic caps are really bad in that regard. They store and release energy very slowly by comparison. This causes time delay smearing.
So it strikes me as odd to boost of a speakers performance in an area like being phase coherent then use caps that smear the time domain signal.
RMAF is a nice venue to show of a design, especially something that is a patent pending design. Maybe Mr. Danley would like to exhibit there this year to show off this design. I await my surprise.
