RomyI do not see the 2490 going any lower than 200 hz, I tested it in a 140 hz horn and in the 120 hz horn and in both tactrix horns the lowest it would go was 200 hz, I think even if I put it a 100 hz horn it will still go down only to 200 hz, so I...

I wonder if any new interning horns ideas are present at CES. There is a post at the hi-fi-heroin site:

… that depicts a new speaker. I kind of like...

Indeed, if the horns are doing their job then there will be some very powerful vibrating going on up there, for better and for worse.Decoupling the horns would require that the structures of the horns themselves and their support members have solid p...

About the proposed attic-mounted 40Hz horns: Is there an elephant in the room?I'm speaking of the proximity of two horns, relative to each other, and the possible consequence; namely they may end up working as a sort of mono horn... A situation furth...

You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be found dirty cheap th...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

One of the challenges I see for my midbass horns is to minimize hf output. The goal is to operate the horn in a bandwidth where it can cross to the higher horns, and have each horn function in their best sounding manner. My drivers are Altec 515-16...

Well, here and there at my site I’m calling for rationalism in audio and suddenly I go enthusiastic regardless a perspectives of $200K Cessaro’s Gammas availability. Sounds hypocritical, doesn’t it? Well, not really.
I’m under no presumption that go...

Jessie, I’m very ignorant in materialology but I have a “common sense” concern. I do not see that you imbedded into your plaster construction any tightening points from a stronger material. I mean: the holes in plaster – how strong you will be able t...

Erik,
The high pressure zone near the throat does not create distortions; the distortions (the turbulence of the wave’s front) are created right after that zone (according to William Hall, MIT, 1932, though no one said hat he is right). Also, it is ...

Oddly the seller has removed the images of the wood horns as well as the mid bass compression drivers. They are still illustrated in the plans. Great looking horns. Perhaps he sold them. They where 150 to 5k drivers. I think Jeffery Jackson probably ...

After living for a few years with Edgar 80Hz straight horns, I've had many urges to find a better sounding solution. I have a reason. Every time I turn them off and continue listening without them I notice that something good happens to the sound. It...

What I find a very interesting in the design direction of Sadurni Acoustics went is a fist attempt to integrate horn and frame in the same sculpture. I like this idea from very beginning when I “invented” it but I never see anybody went for it. I do ...
