One thing to bear in mind with the bass horn delay - I thank Tom Danley for explaining all this a while ago - if I understand it right, a small direct radiator (ie small in relation to the wavelength - which will obviously be the case with ...

Jim, I know who Earl Geddes is. I think a couple years back we exchange a few emails where his attitude was that although he appreciate and mostly agree with some context of my site but he is not wiling to acknowledge it because he was afraid that an...

Hi all, They look fantastic! I've been talking to Martin recently about some horns for my S2s and he mentioned he was developing some 160Hz horns. I guess these must be them! I already have some of the smaller 340Hz Azuras, but they have 1" thr...

Since I speak French, and since I deal with plagiarism everyday, and since NOTHING pisses me off more, I phoned Phil Mundi to ask him about the unothorized use of your artwork on his site, and if this act was representative of the level of fidelity o...

[quote user="Purite Audio"]…. dual skinned carbon/fibreglass horns, which are filled with a liquid polymer… [/quote] Wow, this is new. I never even though about it. We fill hoe with sand, tape it with wax but I very seen or hear of anybody make horns...

Well, here and there at my site I’m calling for rationalism in audio and suddenly I go enthusiastic regardless a perspectives of $200K Cessaro’s Gammas availability. Sounds hypocritical, doesn’t it? Well, not really.
I’m under no presumption that go...

Jessie, I’m very ignorant in materialology but I have a “common sense” concern. I do not see that you imbedded into your plaster construction any tightening points from a stronger material. I mean: the holes in plaster – how strong you will be able t...

Erik,
The high pressure zone near the throat does not create distortions; the distortions (the turbulence of the wave’s front) are created right after that zone (according to William Hall, MIT, 1932, though no one said hat he is right). Also, it is ...

You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be found dirty cheap th...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

One of the challenges I see for my midbass horns is to minimize hf output. The goal is to operate the horn in a bandwidth where it can cross to the higher horns, and have each horn function in their best sounding manner. My drivers are Altec 515-16...

[quote user="Dominic"]I'd put your sub horns above your head. There are some big issues with that but you save a lot on concrete engineering, and assuming space remains in future you could apply what you learned from the overhead wood horns to a more...

RomyI do not see the 2490 going any lower than 200 hz, I tested it in a 140 hz horn and in the 120 hz horn and in both tactrix horns the lowest it would go was 200 hz, I think even if I put it a 100 hz horn it will still go down only to 200 hz, so I...
