I want to take a powered 12+1 and mount it onto throat of a Horn to see how much more spl I can get while still wideband. Am I crazy ? KT ...

It is not the thread to talk about Tapped Horn but listening to what you Tapped Horn users saying I do understand my suspicions about the concept. I can’t objectively judge sound from Tapped Horn as I did not hear any properly made, calibrated and in...

Hello Dan,Love how you pass that cable through the port, I used to do that too...long time ago.Why are you crossing your 250hz horn all the way up to 1 khz?The 2445 should be able to go much lower. Have you measured the response you are getting from...

I got this new midbass horn to replace the Edgar 80Hz straight horn. It is made by Funktion-One and they claim it plays down to 90hz. I could not get it to play below 120Hz and I am trying to figure out why.Pictures are:mouth measurements with no fil...

Romy,In general thinking, I mean in average, a horn to be used with ALE P160 or GOTO SG-146LD with a mouth of 2.8m x 2m (5.6m²) or 110" x ~79", is appropriated to going down to how many cycle, considering full mouth? What should be the length?Thanks!...

The best midrange comes from compression drivers, it has that minuteness, transparency and dynamics that no other topology can offer; the main problem with them is that they only cover a very specific mid frequency ran...

Now that the preliminary excitement of my ingenious idea wore off, I'm ready to share it and accept the harsh reality of any shortcomings... but seriously.
For a while now, I've been been working on optimally integrating my 3 channel...

So first in line, the horns. They stressed out that particularly the horn flares where not within the comfort zone of their own developer team.That triggered the recruitment of Bruce Edgar. The design is only his, and they took it 1:1. Of course too...

[quote user="hagtech"]Romy, I don't know what it is, but something bothers me about the way the upper horn hangs. All other drivers are supported from bottom, that one from the top. This is just gut, but it doesn't seem right to me. ...

When posted the finial post in this thread I was mocking the ugliness of the “Hut on Fowl's Legs” horn. How little I knew!!!
There is a company in Japan: Kubotek. They Manufacture Computers, Robots, Inspection Systems and… some large sound reinforce...

Actually it is very interesting question and I almost feel you pain for decision you will be making. I do not think that anyone would be able to express any arbitral opinion about the subject, as least an opinion that worth to follow. You see, buildi...

I'd put your sub horns above your head. There are some big issues with that but you save a lot on concrete engineering, and assuming space remains in future you could apply what you learned from the overhead wood horns to a more refined bass setup. O...

It is wrong to conclude from:
" By the way, the listening tests performed by Keith Holland confirmed that in blind listening tests of various commercial horns, the material, wood, metal, fibreglass, etc was not correlateable with perceived quality....

Coincidentally, yesterday (14th Feb in this part of the world) -- a timely coincidence as I only read the posts today.A friend constructed a temporary 150Hz tractrix out of hard paper -- a 12hedron. This is not about the sound etc, the horn served fo...

[quote user="cv"]Obviously it makes shipping and transportation a pain. Uncut implies sea transit which will take a few months. Martin mentioned that he almost didn't manage to get them out of his estate car, which would have resulted in the coolest ...

Hey Rom etal.I'm entering into unknown and difficult to intuit territory for me.I aquired a pair of very large constant dirrectivity horns EV hr9040 a, a little while ago and i now have a pair of jbl 2420's to power em. I haven't put them to gether, ...

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...

[quote]Also, Jessie, there is another very important point. A construction of your systems should not be a pure DIY efforts or it will be just another stupid DIY project. Your should have none-DIY objectives and use those horns to resolve those none-...

Yeah, "sound consistent independent of signal level" is a very precise way to sum up my whole speaker philosophy. Anything that is assumed to be constant, but which actually changes with signal dynamics is what ...

Hello Romy,
I found your site a few months ago and have been enjoying it alot. I have found your audio experience and thoughts
are very much in line with my own. Thank you for building a site with so much insight and audio passion.

I have changed the T-factor but they are still much larger than other shapes.
Or is there another variabel ? I'll do more playing
How do you like the LeCleach flare Slowmotion ?

[quote user="Kcct82"]Thanks Romy, your comment above cleared some of the questions I had regarding 50/60hz midbass horns.

Compared to all the drivers out there,are they respectable at all.Just from my experience over time they sound better when crossed over above 800Hz.But still theres something odd.Am I for the price range of these drivers better off getting something ...

Ah Romy, did you not know that the old JBLs, RCAs (and possibly S2 as well) all have an internal flare rate of 160Hz? This is but one reason why I'm asking Martin Seddon to make me a pair of 160Hz horns......just had a look; it may have been 180:http...
