Several years ago I down loaded a print from a site long gone, only to find a modified version of it on Jeff Robinsons site. The print was for a folded horn of manifold sections loaded with a 12" speaker only , and the text is in Hungarian. The print...

[quote user="Paul S"]I realize I will never get horn dynamics with direct radiators; and I still wonder … if anyone actually gets the Tone (without shaping) with horns.[/quote] I just do not know if “tone” has anything to do with anything. There is a...

I was thinking and fantasizing about finishing of my midbass horn. My first idea was to paint it internally with the same color as my cathedral room. Perhaps a lighter grade of paint in the end as the horn goes dark. As the only mouths of the horns w...

I spent today couple hours to walk around my fist mouth. It is juts test-jointed with screws, not glue yet and it responses horribly to knocking. We put a few 2x4 brasses and frames. It looks like it will be 8” between the 2x4 and it will become some...

You might want to try covering a section of plywood with the modified cement/mortar recipe as a test before you write it off as too difficult or too expensive. Basically, it does pretty much what you ask, and it need not be 2" thick, either; 1/2" or...

The KOSS Electrostatic unit was still installed , so I removed and checked resonance .The resonance was 136 HZ. I then tested it in horn assembly and the result was the same : 136...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

I am not and expert in wood construction, all the building we do around here is brick and mortar, but, If you get the Horn wall close to the roof you could fill that space up with that spray expanding foam. The side of the Mid bass horn will be sti...

I have to disagree with you here. Until you've heard the bass from a JBL Hartsfield, you haven't heard bass. Best bass I've heard period. I'm curious if the Vitavox is of the same caliber. ...

I think I can imagine how a complex, sophisticated presentation can be too "unnecessarily demanding", in lieu of a better phrase, in a long run in family life circumstances. I sometimes suffer similar problems (I imagine others too).

Speaking about the interesting surface finish. I have seen a
new stimulating idea that I call the Scratched Horn. I do not know how much
practical effect if has but it shall not be bad. Let pretend that it is not a conical
horn with even sides but...

Actually you do not need anybody to “design” an upper bass horns

It goes quite flat to 20hz with the tapped horn. 20hz to 60hz with the tapped. It has 18db/octave Linkwitz-Riley, and then to dual Tad1601b, where you see the rising of the response around 74hz. I have tamed these bump some, but it needs a little mor...

How do you even time align a Klipschhorn to any other driver? This is one of Romys axioms and I see no solution with folded horns. I am surprised that it was even mentioned!...

Well, I do not like the ESD debut. It was not well though
and not well executed. The sound that they demonstrated is kind of less relevant.

I most certainly agree that the entire listening experience has far more factors than just hard and software. If we are talking about „ideal horns“, then this implies some „gear focus“. Of course the hardware is subservient to the attitude, but then ...
