I guess you have heard a more detailed speakers then. Your collection seem rather extensive. I never meant the Fane S 8N was overly detailed, just that it my paper horn the detail was gone, so I will not try that again.I share the process because...

Is it possible that over last two years, the humidity difference (or change) has been setting in both driver and midbass wood horn structure? This can be tested. Install a dehumidifier in your attic and run for a month, listen to change in sound....

I have been looking in to mid bass horn designs to experiment with lately for the 4 way horn pa I am working on. As usual Good Sound Club always is on the Google search when dealing with any kind of horns. Although my reply to your post may be a few...

Jorge,interesting findings. However, the tall arrays with small woofers is actually worth exploring further based on your findings. I am theorizing, but perhaps the "smearing" effect you were finding in comparison to the midbass horn was due to the h...

There are very many totally not predictable things in bass horns; I would not go into enumeration of them – what the point? However, keeping the thread in context if it’s subject I would note that the objectives and reference points of the horn owner...

Thanks Johan, I got my SG505's and S150 horns, my throat piece is a lot longer than the one you showed above. Why can't they just sell that little screw... along with lots of other "why can't they"...Anyway, I just reread this thread and I can m...

Thanks Romy, your comment above cleared some of the questions I had regarding 50/60hz midbass horns.I found some info on the driver after digging through Japanese sites. I don't know if these info will help interpret wither the woofer will be go...

Romy,
I am off to Taiwan tomorrow but will ask the question by email. I have not heard that kind of custom diaphragm ever available from GOTO on SG146LD4 driver. I know the 15" woofer can be request with different stiffness of the cone.&...

KlausMartin (Azura horn ) is making for me extension to 2.75" (BC 8p21)and 1.4" for 204 Hz (altec 288c) .He also developed 550 hz horn for S2 . He understands importance of smooth driver -throat transition . It would be ready to go solution for...

I was thinking and fantasizing about finishing of my midbass horn. My first idea was to paint it internally with the same color as my cathedral room. Perhaps a lighter grade of paint in the end as the horn goes dark. As the only mouths of the horns w...

that since you already introduced sort of symetry with fundamental channel (covering much of midbass band)and it seems that you prefer simmetrical configurations (MTM)maybe you plan to go step further and add another 400Hz mid horn with S2. Just...

I think if everything goes as I planed then this month I will start my Midbass Horn project. I thought to do it later but I am too sick and tired without my main playback – so, I would rather to do it sooner than later. At present time I am strat...

Let's say we all have a midbass horn that plays down to 80Hz. I know some of us are special, so their midbass horn plays down to 40Hz. But still.What to do for the lower frequencies? Sealed or Infinite baffle (that's two good options). Now we need a ...
|
|
We should define some borders here; LF, when you have an UBH, should be from around 100 hz down to 30 hz, where the last fundamental tone of an instrument is played. ULF should be under 25-20hz.I would say that a driver playing 25-30 hz should...

Hi Romy,1) What dimensions for 1808 baffle would you suggest? 2) Is floor-firing vs. front-facing cone useful or preferred?I believe you wrote LF channels should be placed in arc outside midbass channels. 3) Any *general tips...

Oops sorry, I just re-read you post and you did said the “cub feet”. I read it as “sq feet”… so it came from it… If I have 12,000 square feet I would defiantly build a nice sleeping place for my Koshka inside a 50Hz midbass horn… That is one of the r...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

These are 103db efficient 15" midbass boxes. It's a band pass horn design with narrow bandwidth of 60-250hz. No port thought, it's a sealed box with two chambers in front of the driver. I do not know how they sound but, myself interested in trying th...

The narrow portion of the midbass horn is surely begging to be inside a chimney, or a structure made to look like one, protruding through the roof. I am sure birds nesting on the back chamber will not impair its functionality, though it may be a pain...

Hi Romy,
I've confirmed through Goto's Japanese dealer that a drop between 200-400hz is normal for 505TT, their suggestion was to double up on drivers or buy the more expensive versions... Looking at the measurements the 505TT is good for 400-1800...

Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your full range Melquiades fo...
