Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

I spoke recently with a friend of my and was trying to describe the sound of my midbass horns. I said that if Wagner was able to have his custom Bayreuth Tubas then why I am not able to have my Bruckner Midbass horns. I kind of like the metaphor that...

You are right about not compensating for recordings. Seems we've had this discussion before. So many variables.
Sealed box, horns, crossover slopes, and points, drivers and their various qualities,

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

Of cause your reply does not cover the subject that I was asking, which is fine, I do not mind. The subtle point that I constantly was trying to make (and that looks like escapes from understanding of the people who are afraid to use the term Lecleac...

Below is a sketch of the main frame, that Russ made for me based on our original discussions many months ago, consisting of the support for the UB115 horns and missing some finishing details such as bevelled edges, top end feature, holes for hori...

[quote user="haralanov"]Ironically or not, I have no practical problems with it, simply because I’m not using big UB horns. My upper bass channels are much more compact – 4 very massive 15” drivers with no horns. Their integration to my main widerang...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

I have explored the subject of tapped horns. My exploration did not include listening them – ridicules, isn’t it? I did consult with a few folks, who I respect and who built and heard many of them and who know subject well. I pretty much know what I ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I think Romy's just jealous of all those conical horns, as endorsed by "he who shall not be named..." (sorry, to me, they're the distraction when looking @ this installation. I just keep thinking how colored every conical...

I'm here in the middle of the Spanish revolution. In the brutal friday attackin Barcelona (fuck the FC Barca!) the police has robbed, yes the police robs here, our speakers.Would be lovely to have something like those Decibels to counteract their noi...

The mini skirt analogy is a great fit. That is my experience.Or maybe like that stunning girl has small breasts and one has know the joy of a good handful. There are ways for enhancement and while one could get more, the girl is no more beautiful and...

I am NOT talking about single wideband drivers or any back loaded type horns. I am talking about properly made front loaded horns.
For example, the Danley Synergy horns, that use single horn with multiple drivers to cover a wide band...

Attila from Hungary send me emails telling that he got CNC lathe, carver and the rest of gear and that he is very much willing to make horns. He asked: “I would like to ask your opinion, what type of horns people most need”. I find it is interesting...

Outdoor performances always seem to me to fall short of indoor ones, and there are plenty of reasons why this should be so, but there is something attractive about a horn installation in a garden...it ought really to be made of rock, of course, f...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...

actually I'm from Iran and needless to say we are stock in the middle of nowhere here (sanctions,...) so we weren't able to hear much of the horn speakers, so we started to think we should do it ourselves because we are able to obtain CDs much easier...

Ok, the story about the Red Wall is getting stranger …. Further thinning about all of it I came up with a brilliant idea.
The Red Wall has two air-conditioner wants. So, if the horns are built on the Red Wall then why do not make the rents … ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The well-implemented horns or well-implemented anything … they are just tools; they are like colors that still need to be used by an artist to become a beautiful painting…..[/quote]I see where you're coming from, but I can'...

I made a few calls to a few horn makers with a perspective to build for me a substitute for the horrible Altec 19 horn. While talking with people I was given an interesting lead about the guy that I did not know. He is a Canadian and his name is And...

For people with less knowledge of Horns and wants to use them in smaller real estate is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor system/miniME type of speaker http://www.oswaldsmillaudio.com/Pro...

Hello,i made a few bass horns for home use:[url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=hm-moreart11pichrc5.jpg][img]http://www.abload.de/img/hm-moreart11pichrc5.jpg[/img][/url]a seat, writing table[url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=baufoto9eckh.7rgu...

The woofers need 2 be matched. What is the Resonance frequency of the cones of the woofers? You want to mount the woofers on front side of baffle or rear? Are you going 2 use dual 15 woofers on each side? Don't ruin your house by putting them in your...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"].....the idea of the triangle horns with some kind of location of the drivers is what I was thinking as well. [/quote]Which kind of brings me to the thinking… if I do the triangular midbass horns then what shall I...

[quote user="Wojtek"]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...

The more msaudio trying to “criticizes” my projects and expose his “rational” the more I feel a need not to ignore but actually to laugh. When some people without a sense of perspective or reality run in stadium then they might feel that they are ahe...

audiofilofine, you need to form a question in a format that would indicate you do the your do some homework. To bulb or even to design 20Hz horn is complex task and it usually made to the specifics of the given circumstances. As rule to use properly ...

I am more and more inclining to finish my horn in the textured paint of the color of my room. However, lately I have another “idee fixe”. My listening room has a very pleasant light pattern, something that was here before and something that I added. ...
