MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

Hi Romy,If you have a moment between setting up your gear in new room, can you point me to the thread where you discuss suggested wood horn finishing techniques? I can't find it.I am hopefully on verge of placing order for my first mid-bass horn for ...

Hello,i made a new constructiondown to ~34 Hzfor 3", 5", 6,5" and 8"bass driver,15 cm flat behind the flat screenor two with 100x120x15 cm,or sideboard forsat placement.the 17 inside widthwould be a best solution with the TB W6-1916.the 23 cm inside ...

Here I would like to share some basic ideas about the skeleton of the horn. This is just a view from 50.000 feet but it will give some illustration what is brewing in my mind.
The one side of the triangular horn will be flat and will sit at le...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The view is from the mouth of the right horn.[/quote]Here is the way how the horn will be mounted between the top and bottom beams and along with rafters. What is very kinky in here is that the curved space between two roo...

I have built quite a few bass horns and found any thing over 1/2 inch ply wood reinforced is all you need, in front of your baffle. If you had ever built a few on your own and had the right equipment to test you would realize this, but when your a ha...

Yep, a nice horn design. I like hos they have a mid-range to
have the similar footprint/size and a lower channel. I guess a mid-range runs ~60
to 800K, wonder what driver they use in there. The upper range horn in a
typical “clitoris position”, le...

I have identified a direction for my next speaker system. Whether it is a good one or not is a different topic -- I think it's a good one because I've lived with my current horn system for 10 years and have since developed an understanding of it's st...

Hi Jeff,I am certain that the best midbass was NEVER in a corner horn. Every fold in the horn is a new resonance. Corner horns need many folds...In addition, if you are very "anal retentive" about phase alignment - how do you integrate a corner horn?...

The closest to date I overlapped cones and horns myself was waaaay back in my time with Altec A7s. But I have since then and up to now heard many fine "hand-offs" from cone to horn, and my current project speakers hand-off cone to (very fast/short) h...

No system ever resembles live music. imho. But you can get pretty close.Can you describe or share a pic of the horrid horns systems you have listened to?I also hate most badly designed "horn" systems too.Usually most "Horn" systems have a 15" woofe...

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn guy and I never insulted him?!!...

Is this type of driver not similar to those used in headphone?. Very high efficiency, wide bandwidth, very low XMAX. The lightest and fastest are probably the orthodynamic type like FOSTEX RP, HiFiMAN or Audeze LCD2....

Alright then synergy horns aside, what is inherently wrong with wideband horns? I can understand that there is bs implementations and explanations/marketing, but if we put to side CURRENT wideband driver limitations and only look at horn. If horn is ...
|
|
Well the thing about horns and wide band is that for them to go lower the horns needs to be longer, if the horn is longer the highs get lost inside it. The most famous and longer range horn is the WE 15A, but even that one doesnt do magic, some clai...

Actually a Tapped Horn would be bigger than a sealed enclosure, here is one of my first TH tests. The sound is very different than the sound coming form a Sealed encolsure. My first impression was that the bass was gone! There was no bass sensati...

I was pitching before that to make a loudspeaker with integrated LF module you have no ethical right to charge more then let say $20K retail. If you charge more then you have no mechanism to deliver anything for the money people pay. However, if you...

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...

[quote user="jeff1225"]Yes Rommy I agree with most of your comments above. What I found interesting in the larger installation was the time alignment and the bass implementation. I do disagree with your statement of not stopping by to see the Hornfab...

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect.
And influences in digital domain are usually terrible.
But I'm not sure what other options available....

horn has a total length around 5 metres. To time align that with my other drivers,
its got to be around 5 metres closer than others. The only other solution is
