I constantly contacted by the visitor of my site and some people that I know me in my none-internet life inquiring me who could build horns. Ironically, despite the simplicity of the task, if a person has a clear idea what he is willing to accomplish...

[quote user="hagtech"]Sorry to steer away from Harley, but have you Horn guys ever tried different flare terminations? That is, the boundary condition where the mouth and room meet. I once saw some interesting stuff done on large radio an...

Hi all
Yes, the thing with midbass/upperbass horns , as Romy states, is that those horns are usually built to be too short. You might actually be better off using the driver in a sealed box.
For example, look at the size of a typical upper midra...

Excerpted from:http://www.volvotreter.de/pics_plans.htm

One thing to bear in mind with the bass horn delay - I thank Tom Danley for explaining all this a while ago - if I understand it right, a small direct radiator (ie small in relation to the wavelength - which will obviously be the case with ...

Jim, I know who Earl Geddes is. I think a couple years back we exchange a few emails where his attitude was that although he appreciate and mostly agree with some context of my site but he is not wiling to acknowledge it because he was afraid that an...

Hi all, They look fantastic! I've been talking to Martin recently about some horns for my S2s and he mentioned he was developing some 160Hz horns. I guess these must be them! I already have some of the smaller 340Hz Azuras, but they have 1" thr...

Since I speak French, and since I deal with plagiarism everyday, and since NOTHING pisses me off more, I phoned Phil Mundi to ask him about the unothorized use of your artwork on his site, and if this act was representative of the level of fidelity o...

[quote user="Purite Audio"]…. dual skinned carbon/fibreglass horns, which are filled with a liquid polymer… [/quote] Wow, this is new. I never even though about it. We fill hoe with sand, tape it with wax but I very seen or hear of anybody make horns...

I do have platy of space and the LF section for K-Horns might
be a very interesting idea to try. The Vitavos was dese to use in the UK replica
of K-Horn. I never liked the K-Horn too much as they always project imaging that
is “flat” in the wall. ...

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...

Spent the weekend in Herne with Thomas Worschnick ( TW Acoustic )Thomas is a very nice guy and very generous with his time, his system is very fine, and the Cessaro speakers are marvellous, Thomas and Ralph are showing at the Munich High End show, wo...

Here another horny “client” – German company “Odeon”

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 ...

very interesting.i was just thinking how to do this;an inner and outer mould made out of fiberglass i guess?the moulds would obviously be the challenge and expense.i am going to try to go to some fiberglass moulding shops this week to see what it mig...

Gargoyle, I have not made paper horns to amplify bass, but only to use as "wave guides", to +/- "shape" the sound. My results so far agree with Romy's theory, that the paper horns begin to eat energy when I used them "too low". In this case I used ...

Are there any current sources for large horns available in the USA or that can ship here, I have always done Array speakers and I want to jump into the horns arena but finding large diameter horns is a challenge....

Romy, I'm very proud that you are following me and commenting my achievements.I just don't understand why you are doing it in a manner that you are the one and others are idiots and morons. If you don't understand others, you can ask them questions. ...

I moved your post into a separate thread as I think your post about a subject, contrary to the thread where it was moved from was about the virgin fantasies… [quote user="Ronnie"] I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I'...

[quote user="Dominic"]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...

Romy are there any good commercially available horns that sre any good? What about AvantGarde I heard their Trio's recently, how far away are there from being good/ thanks Keith....

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...
