Unfortunately its $1000,- total... Its not fixed, i can still do alot with that though.
Alnico is better but only available in vintage drivers right? How does neodymium compare?
The Jbl's seem to fall off fairly quickly. I dont need flat to 20K but dropping after 10K necesetates a tweeter. This is probably a beter compromise than finding a driver that can go all the way up there if i want to keep the sound fluid and capable at the bottom of the range right?
I believe your using an altec 15" driver for upper bass? I couldnt really find it anywhere.
You also mention the small mouth compared to traditional horn thinking. Are you using a phase plug here?
The back chamber also seems very small for a large driver so you might be using something else?
Im wondering if i can get enough impact (at moderate levels) with upper bass using an 8" or do i really need a 10" or more? I will do some testing first with what i have before a lay out cash.
Target lower frequency also around 100hz to still be able to cross to the subs.
I said subs but yes you are very right about the "organic continuation of acoustic system". I have spent alot of time to get these up to speed with my mains.
I presume you also recommend a driver with shorting rings or even beter an underhung design?
