Discussing the Jessie project we multiple times mention the idea of the large midbass horn handing above MF section. Where else the 7”-9” might be positioned? The rational was to have it positionally contra-react the output of the upperbass horn. It is all good and it is what I would do in context of Macondo alternation is I have space but do we automatically assume that the hanged horn would be a flimsy horn?

Well, among a few midbass 50Hz that I was exposed I heard today one that I actually like. It was a straight 50Hz, hyperbolic, rectangular, with two 12 inchers loaded into 6” trout each. I do not know the specifics of design but the wall are wood-sand-wood   and they are 2” thick – good construction and … you would never hang this time of the horn.

 The midbass horns were positioned outside the MF channels, time aligned with mouths extended far into listening position.  It was running 50Hz to 800Hz and despite I would have some objection to this configuration but the midbass of the installation was quite pleasant. I would leave aside and opened the question if the midbass might be better even in connect of THAT installation but the brief listening of that playback suggested some thoughts.

How high we can go with midbass horn? As far as the driver allows? As far as other solution would not defeat the midbass horn in term of quality? As far as other horns we do not want to build? There is no answer but this thing should be well thought. Yeas the use of midbass horn as the only horn the sit on the ground is a good idea but it lives the space under the MF channels empty and slightly increase the minimum integration distance. Still it looks like it might be worked out or at least attempted.
