...this interesting point has no practical answer. First of all in the case of Rakesh horn what N-Set proposed is not necessary. Those 115Hz Hasqiun-style horns that Rakesh emulates are well dumped with own mass and own ...

Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h horn.I am putting toge...

Leo Delibes' opera, Lakme' is not often heard entire, although the duet I will cite pops up every so often. It is the achingly beautiful, sous le dome epais ou le blanc jasmin, sung by Lakme' and Mallika as they float off in search of flowers, m...

I am sorry to report a very unti-climax ending of my 8 years' saga with the Reps-1 driver. It ended abruptly when Romy came and said "Let's go for the LE-8 (which I had it in my second system)".I'll report my findings in a different thread...

Hello!Could anyone please advise me as to the recommended rear chamber volume for a Le C'leach horn with a throat of 240cm2, mouth of 7089cm2, length of 47cm, cutoff of 160Hz, T of 0.8? I'm thinking of using a Beyma 122Nd which has a sd of 530, Bl o...

Here are some photos of Martin Sedon's 204Hz and 340Hz Le Cleac'h horns, which likely have more reasonable shipping charges and fit through doorways, etc. better than the 160Hz version. They have a T-factor (expansion rate) of T = 0.8, which was reco...

Hi Romy and all,
first of all, my name is Henry, with a "Y". due to an Irish grand-grand-grand father called "O'Henry". the O' was deleted when my grand-grand father was born, due to a silly servant of registry office. :-) all my horns uses the calc...

Jamikl, you got it all confused. The rule of one octave below the lowest frequency is applicable for HF horns. My comments of “waste of Real Estate" has nothing to do with Real Estate and has to do only with the fact that in multi-channel system, whe...

Hi Roman, hi all... intriguing post and interesting questions, as I've been for about 20 years a triode and, before, a tube user and a glowing-in-the-dark maniac.My experience...I purchased - years ago - an Hiraga 20W which I used as a bass enclosure...

Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h is RIP and it is not a good idea to
talk bad about dead people. However, it is not a personal commentary against
Jean-Michel but rather my attempt to point out a huge harm that he did with his
idea of what I call La-horns or...

Romy:Thank you for the reply. First, a correction: I have a pair of TAD 1201. The MTM idea would utilize other drivers, such as the LE-8, 2118, etc. I'm certainly not against buying another pair of TAD, however.The 1201 w...

I would definitely produce either Le Cleac'h or Tractrix eliptical profiles as these are far more domestic friendly, especially in Europe were rooms are rather small and ceilings low.And perhaps a half-circular (80/150Hz) for the same as well as cost...

HI AllHas anyone one here have any experience with Yamaha 6681B. I have a good pair with working original diaphragms lined up. I will be looking at using them in a 400hz Le Cleac'h above a 100cm 160hz Horn, possibly with a Fane 8m from the current GB...

Hi Chris, all Allthough most of the work is done by the compression driver at 5 K , I would still use a proper horn, a horn that loaded the driver down to 2500Hz would be minimum IMHO. You can still use a Le Cléac'h horn if you wish. ;) cheers ;)...

I don't think Steve "bought into" the conical propaganda, more that it is easier for him to make conical horns and get a system up and running. So this is by no means finished. We have discussed him trying some different profiles (Le Cleac'h) for the...

Paul,at least from my moronic standpoint, using a couple of closed boxes with wide band drivers (I have some JBL LE-8T2 without the aluminum domes) in a L-R/R-L connection, should give me the power to widen the stereo basis. Adjustable level could ma...

Hi
I am not using Le Cléac'h flares myself.
But his aproach to designing horns is interesting, I think.
I did make a Le Cléac'h horn a couple of years ago,
just for testing. It sounded very good.
cheers ;)...
