"the chamber where the magnet is (would it be perm magnet of electromagnet) is absolutely decoupled from any paths where sound flows"The situation is the same as the backside of a woofer looking into a closed enclosure, and this relationshi...

Thanks, Eduardo, very interesting. The YL 75000 has no phase plug and 70Hz with 1” trout. It look to me like a conventional diver. Which beds a question: if to reduce compression with our classic drivers, loose plug off and reduce power then can we ...

Since no one replied, I thought of narrowing down the problem. I need to make a horn that will cover up to 600Hz. I will guess that it will be 150 to 600Hz. But better yet 90 to 600Hz. Is this posssible. Do I need to make a compression chamber? Do I ...

Dresden,
So the first two could actually be just one actual build, with alternate rear chambers? Wouldn't you change the throat size, as well as the compression chamber size? Then arrive at your "optimized" compound horn design. Then yo...

Yesterday I spoke with a guy at a Russian audio forum who reported that he played with addressing many problems of compression driver by pumping ferrofluid in the gap. I am not a big fun of ferrofluiding generally and in case of compression drivers i...

You need to decide what length of the horn you can afford. When I mean “afford” I ment the position of the horn in context of the rest of your system. You know the lowest cut off - 40Hz. So, the most suitable for you length and the mouth size will gi...

[quote user="de charlus"]It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound...

I wish I could stop the US government from selling AK47s in any corner shop in the US. If you give a monkey a gun, most probably he will shoot himself. If you give a monkey an AK47, well that is different. He will take anything he wants and few thi...

Herman, horn dimensions does not described by size of driver but only size of throat. It will be absolutely nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver. Sure you would need a bit larger back side of the horn to ac...

Angelo,Although the idea might be looks like an “elegant” at a hi-fi shows but unfortunately it has a lot of pitfalls, the terminal pitfalls for my point of view. This is only my opinion but still:1) LF channel- the bassmaxx. I never had or hear...

Eventually I found hot to balance out the fundamental channel’s arm a 1 galloon bucket filed with led shot and Super Melquiades power supply do a good contra-mass.

Hello all :::: This will be my first post, and I am writing first to thank Romy and the lovely Koshka for making the results of their research available to others, and also to ask for help :::: I am something of a "New Horns Guy" (cringe !), as I am ...

Once again, let make it the last post off the subject of the 5-chals Milq.
I think it make sence to start from 370Hz-400Hz horns for S2, targeting it for 1000Hz. Then the lower bass horn, for instance the 45Hz, however it should have a chamber of m...

I have never heard of any woofer that manages 50Hz lower cut off frequency in a horn arrangement. The simple fact is that a woofer does not emit sound under the resonance frequency (that is without artificially changing that, ie active). The resonanc...

Kea Audio, Regarding the driver. When I meant hard suspension I meant low excursion. Acoustic pressure equals displacement by volume and displacement equals surface by excursion. In horn we add the horn EQ, so for a given frequency we might have lowe...

Hi Romy. Interesting point as i had similar perception along my recent I ran an 8inch driver with fronthorn. Then just got my hands on a pair of RFT L-3701 (or 3702). http://tempuri.org/tempuri.htmlA fabulous driver with exactly those parameters. T...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not use compression driver
for bass channel. I would like to have my system esthetically balanced, to get let
say 120Hz from a compression driver would take too long horn and it would be no
way time-aligned it. So,...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...

Romy,It is interesting that you say that the problem is well known. I discovered this application in 1972, while trying to come to a solution for the sonic insults being supplied by a pair of Ohm F speakers. I eventually got them to act somewhat as W...

first post... but I recognize quite a few friends here.. so, my straight horns... I like them very much.. I built mine similar in style to what Greg B linked, but obviously much smaller.. mine are just under eight feet long (length of a sheet&nb...

Hello Romy and everyone here, Thanks again for your thoughts on the large horns. It seems best to start a new thread, as previous threads dealing with the "10-Footer" originally began as discussions of other subjects. Romy, you may want to move previ...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

Hello Romy,
I understand the difference between the kind of "basshorn" pictured here and the proper compression-horn that you use. It is true that many DIY-types like to make basshorns in their garage without much thought to technical consideratio...

I really would like the Vitavox users who use the bottom region of S2 driver to pay very serious attention to my post above. The redaction of compression in this driver and dropping the resonance frequencies does impacts the lower knee sound of the d...
