Hello again, Romy.. let me see if I can clear some of this up....
first, you are indeed correct on your horn thoughts.. but some clarification is in order...
Ming Su is the importer of GOTO to the USA... Goto Japan only ships horns from flar...

Midbass from horn in
small room can be hugely benefited if it bounces but to make the
assembly of horns visually pleasant, time aligned and functional at the
same time is a big question. I do like the notion of Midbass fires t...

I got this new midbass horn to replace the Edgar 80Hz straight horn. It is made by Funktion-One and they claim it plays down to 90hz. I could not get it to play below 120Hz and I am trying to figure out why.Pictures are:mouth measurements with no fil...

I was pointed out to the fact the Magico has a new idea of their 5 way horn-loaded speaker. I did review the Magico former 4-way project, it was very bad:

The new one l...

As some of your might know I am not huge in Mahler. It is not that I hate Mahler and his music but I do not like how Mahler music is customary being played. They play Mahler like it is some kind of scared porcupine, sticking out his needles; I do not...

I’ve never heard of the “Hut on Fowl’s Leg” before. It is an interesting folklore tale. However, I still laugh when I see these horns. Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers....

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

Keith,You would never know from the data how those upperbass driver will behave in horns. The 55Hz of air resonance (if it is true number that always not the case) is a good number for 60-70Hz horn. I really would like to know the max amount of mm th...

Today I spent many hours trying to remove large LF transformers from Melquiades belly and replace them with another one that would load my 6C33C a bit harder. I do idle my output tube very hard and my objective was to get to let it go slightly. The ...

[quote user="skushino"]Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use yo...

First off, the crossover point will be 530 to 600Hz. the RES 1.5 midhigh is 16" x 8" x 10" deep.Keeping in mind, I'm trying to cover 600Hz and below... Given space constraints of a medium size basement room, I came up with 2 options.1st option is to ...

Jorge, that is good but a few thighs I would like to mention in this approach:
1) What you depict will work with tractrix or conical horn but not hyperbolic curve. The hyperbolic has own “swell” into exponential curve that would make it to...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]….. sit back and conclude that, yes, damn it, a pair of good straight Mid-Bass horns is exactly what you need. My reasons are of course somewhat selfish... as I won't like being alone in needing a non-digital delay solutio...

[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

The folks from lencoheaven.com have a thread where they as most of the people online stupidly damp pictures of different horns, supplementing them with howls “gorgeous” and “beautiful.” One of the installations picked my attention:

I am trying to keep the discussion about midbass horns out of ULF thread, I guess if Rakesh would like he can create a separate thread dedicated to his specific installation and the design ideas. I would like to keep the content of the posts more...

I would like to expose what my intentions are what I was tiling above about Goto 555 or a similar 200Hz driver. My S2 does not stress the bottom of my 183Hz horn. My multi-cell is expositional and those types of horns do pick honk very aggressively ...

A site visitor sent me emails saying:
“Johan Dreyer says he can hear no time delay with his bass horns…”
Well, first of all I disagree with it. The fact that Johan Dreyer can hear no time delay is not an indication that delay is n...

At this site http://audio-andromeda.blogspot.ru there is a large collection of images from the recent Munich audio show. I paid attention that Anima Loudspeakers now supplemented with unfortunately-mono midbass horns. Frankly it is very nice looking ...

Would not a 9ft-11ft long bass horn path (tapped horn or any horns) cause a sonic problem if not physically time aligned with the upper bass or mid bass channel? The only way to fix that would be to place the bass horn 9-11ft closer TO YOU than other...

A few things I would like to say in context of Pham’s playback.
I will leave his infatuation with turntables alone – man like to collect turntables and he within his constitutional right to do whatever makes him happy. The problem that I see ...

Romy's quotes in blue:Daniel J. Plach's quote in green:"...The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn?..."Yes, it will be similar, but more robust; I have an idea for a locking-type seal, which I would pro...

|
The idea of using this type of midbass horn seems good, but I don’t see a solution for time alignment of the horn with the other channels. You have a freedom to physical align it if it is placed in the same vertical plane with upperbass mouth, but th...

Romy,I actually had one of those horns, as I wrote in the first post. Edgar 80hz straight horn. I sold it long ago because I did not like the sound, no matter what amps I tried it with. The problem was, to me it sounded muddy, no matter what I tried,...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...

Ok, it is not my mouth but the mouth of my midbass horn. It is 1:1 calculated size of 43.5Hz and we measure it against the opening space in attic, It fits perfectly and it has at least 35 feet behind for the horn neck. So, far so good…....
