Dave Glackin interviewed Dr. Bruce Edgar in his home, prior to the 1996 WCES. A follow-up on the speak...

Romy, I understand you are saying that a midrange horn rated flat to 300HZ should really be crossed at 600 or 1200 HZ. That claim doesn't make sense to me, esp. with a 24 db or higher crossover (active). Unless you are saying that hor...

Hi Romy, As a recent convert to horn-speakers I have greatly enjoyed trawling through your website and I have learnt plenty not only about horns but also about questioning my own motives and the desired end result of a possible "from scratch" spe...

If you know how in some optical systems imagery get destroyed when an aperture getting closed to F64 or even smaller, then you understand what happens in compression driver when frequency get higher and spaces smaller. Yes, the proximity of wavelengt...

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

The room is beautiful, and I love the tree stump "rack" with the amps, it is clearly a work in progress, but they already put in the "Western Electric" badges on! It talks a lot about their priorities I guess!They have what seems to be a midrange ...

Paul,I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design. Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpgIn this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.This so...

Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...

It is a shame that I keep finding threads about a 300Hz compression driver channel, that ends abruptly. I have been trying with a not-so-exact Goto S-150 replica (~1.7m deep, 75cm diameter mouth), and I know of another fellow in Sweden who tried the ...

I'd like to ask if anyone sees and appreciable problem with the following.I'm trying to arrange a 4-way, 3 horns sitting on top of a big bass box. As I have it the 42cm midrange horn (800-8k) is in front of the 95cm lower midrange horn (250-800hz). T...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

Haralanov, I guess you mean to say disconnect the tweeter on one side of your playback? not the whole left side of the playback...When you use compression drivers it is very important to design the horn taking care of the high frequency response. ...

I realized you meant Midbass when you wrote MD. I agree that letting the midbass horn run full range on the bottom is not a good idea. My point was try the bass channel (Aura 1808) run much higher and share the same crossover as the midbass when cros...

I used to have Edgar 80hz straight horns and this was my only experience with short midbass horns. I did not like them in my system and sold them. Lately, I have been wondering about these designs in general and is there such a thing as a good soundi...

[quote user="drdna"] BUT, I think it is more exactly what you say that the midrange horn is round and the lower midrange horn is rectangular. They sound different and it is more easy for me to hear the presence of the rectangular horn. [/quote]...

Romy, the 160hz horn and 425hz horn both sit on top of the bass box, i.e the one is not above the other. Part of the smaller 42cm horn hangs over the front of the box so I'd say the top 30cm of it is above the top of the box and is obscuring the 160h...
