[quote user="noviygera"]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.
15" driver....

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]However, I must say, I have a lot of trouble accepting the idea of redundant drivers. [/quote]
Yes, it dose not sound attractive to me but it is not the redundant drivers but one main driver and another at minus 9dB drive...

Eduardo,
Thanks for your thoughts and illustrations. I also do not feel that loosely-suspended very small metal cone might be a right solution for midbass. To develop LF you need pressure, pressure is surface by exertion – there is nothing els...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Ok, I loaded the S3 driver into the new multicells, use my extra of bas sections as a pedestal for multicell, connected 2 extra bass channels to ULF amp and the multicells to full range amps with no crossovers. Yes, I got a VERY good width and th...

hi. That’s a nice topic. I studied the VO like a maniac. For me there are 3 topics. First was obvious, easy, the horns. The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flav...

Do proper horns "suffer" from K2? Do you not think that the back chamber loading is part of the engineered concept? Are you sure that reflections from the room that travel through the horn to the diaphragm would not cause more trouble? How can yo...

Duke, you see, the lowering of output impedance is great but once again “how it was used”. When we hear the result do we hear the effect of a more infinite dumping or we hear the problem that coming with application of feedbacks, or we hear the probl...

I pulled from a basement Dunleavy SCIII and plugged them as
a Pilot speaker’s driver by Yamaha B2. They are so nice! I would not use them
foe complex classical music as they are a bit shallow and confused but for TV repertoire
they are just perfec...

I think in the realm of integrated listening and living rooms
with full stack 7-ch installation and 40Hz bass horn I did accomplish a very commendable
thing. You will hardly fine a listening room out there that would be as living-friendly
as mine ...

[quote user="msaudio"] Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. [/quote]

Hi Romy,
I am planning my own DSET build. I have based my speakers on your Macondo and
am busy turning MDF horns in my spare time.
Once that is over I will move onto amplifiers. I plan to build a fullrange Melquiades for a
friend and the...

OK, I was looking today at the par of the new Melquiadeses posted above and realized they are too ugly to sit them in my room over the 4th July holydays. So, spending another fey hours I designed to end the project and put it behind me. I still do no...

Thanks, floobydust.
There are a lot of interesting points in you post to consider. What speaker you drive with your 2A3? If they are relatively high sensitively (like compression drivers) then did you consider going with a single stage? I think I ha...

Hey, people chill out. The guy provide just information, I do not think he makes any adjudication comments and if he would then why not. For sure the TG Lee Audio generator does look interesting. The separation of the chasses on 3 sections is very ri...
