Hi Romy,

been reading you for some years now and 99% of the cases agree with your judgments (and sarcastic criticism).


Some data on ANIMA.

The bass is an exp horn tunned to 50Hz using the floor as a virtual expansion of the missing length/mouth. The bass horn was developed after my personal J shaped 50HZ 6400cm2 mouth, wanted to go commercial. I didn't agree but she insisted : ) Going on a strict diet and here you see the results. Can understand the doubts on the upper range but properly phased -to the rest of the ways- and positioned, has no issues on either listening tests or measurements.

Mid horn is a full mouth 200Hz tractrix. Allow me not to elaborate any further on driver etc. It's doable to squeeze this kind of efficiency from stock drivers if you provide the proper design, give them a good massage and trade off with limited bandwidth ; ) 

Hi horn is a full mouth 600Hz tractrix. Maybe the photo/color doesn't help in getting the size right. That's the only one which is straight forward in the design part. The material thou is not. The final choice is high quality epoxy resin with some aggregate mix additives. Have build a dozen of them to get it right.  

All pieces -except drivers- are build in house. No 3rd party or sub contracting.
