I have a friend who said that when playing a two piece copper composite horn (like 88H), it will have a faster response than a one-piece horn <EMOJI seq="1f914" tseq="1f914">🤔</EMOJI> I don't quite believe it. I think it's also related to the thickness of the speakers. Feel free to leave a message below and share your opinions！

Here is a great article about the two construction types from one of the best makers out there.
