I know, I know, I know…
Any person who in one way or other practices horn-loading loudspeakers has a wet dream about bass horns. Here and there people built them. Here and there you can hear the assuring and overconfident statements like: “the...

Approximately a month ago I patterned the horn on the other channels and I have to admit the “tweak” is working. It feels as it acts as a sonic defogger minimizing some stray HF dispersions from MF channel. Generally the effect is positive but not hu...

[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

Wojtek,Can you tell us the size of the 204hz Azurahorn?I am pretty sure that the 550hz horn is around 15" in diameter. AH-425 is the model number. Please correct me if I am wrong....

Hey Romy,The Goto drivers (505TT, 100-8khz) and horns (S150, 150hz round exponential) finally arrived. I've only had them for a week so I can't say much about them besides they're not a simple drop in replacement of the previous 10" TAD woofer (200hz...

[quote user="Jordi"] The secret is the K-Horns with ALL the mods!!! If you heard it you wouild know what I'm talking about! . [/quote]
The K-Horns were Klipsch’s attempt to do something more or less reasonably sounding. They were doing K-Horns...

I just noticed the empty space at the location where your midbass horns are/were positioned. Am I blind or are they missing?Edit: I must be very stupid - the photo is probably taken before they were installed... :-))...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Good question, HookEm. I would say my answer would be 2, “Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general”. Do not get me wrong, driving your, or any other single drivers would do fine by ML2.0 and you will be able to...

Hi Ronnie, There are a few things that could be causing the alien sounds you site. One, of course, could be certain frequency nodes being excited by room reflections. As long as your room is reasonably dampened, this would not...

Hi Romy,
FYI: The previous photo of some unknown persons "pile o' horns" appears to be:
Upper midrange: 1" TAD TD-2002 mounted to 650Hz Edgarhorn
Supertweeter: Fostex T90A or T925A.
Lower midrange: ...

Hi Guys,An idea I've had for damping thinner horns in a more or less aesthetically pleasing manner is to house the horn in a Sonotube rigid cardboard cylindrical concrete former, and then apply the desired damping material inside the Sonotube.&n...

Allo fellas,
Regarding pricing, best if you check with Martin; I know what I'm paying but I had to commission them specially - I know a hell of a lot of work went into making the mould, jigs to support the mould, etc etc. Actually the 340s were my c...

Hi allIf anyone wants to go for a UK or US group buy on these, please let me know and we can co-ordinate with Martin. Likewise, if you can't find his email address online, drop me an email via the site and I will put you in touch.Cheers,cv...

A mix of conctrete and steel skeleton is a very good mixture, particularly for the upperbass horn. BTW, go not be “disappointed” that you did not go for Tractrix. The Tractrix has many advantages but for the range where you operate I hardly see any a...

If you have suitable space behind your listing position you could maybe use a pair of K-horns with a single Vitavox the same way you used your big midbass horns in the old house. There are always some empty cabs , original or clones available . They ...

There is a pair on eBay of Vitavox S2 drivers with 400Hz Tractrix StereoLab horns, the item 300372010439. I usually do not like to make comments about eBay things but I think it begged to be said. The driver and the horns looks fine for 1000Hz channe...

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 … ...

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...

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...
