Hi James,
Theoretically a straight 33 feet long mono subhorn with the drivers at one end of the room and the mouth exiting the floor at the other end would probably cover from 10Hz to 30Hz with no problem, with the apropriate drivers.
I don't hav...

IMHO one of these drivers that make you listen to the music at first, but something isn't quite "right". Put it on a - big - open baffle and cut at 200 and use maybe up to 2500Hz. Problematic with female voices, like opera and so on. It distorts quit...
|
OK - I agree more than not...but have difficulty putting that in words.
I'm thinking only in horns - box speakers doesn't concern me.
Still thinking.....
cheers ...

Romy, there are more ways to the top of the mountain...
And we already know that your way isn't my way...
You bring up many very valid points, but still I will continue to use my digital crossover as a very useful tool. But I am also experimentin...

Hi all
I dont know why Goto do what they do...
But if we imagine using only the - good - part of a "perfect" horn/driver combination we will find that the bandwidth will be very small.
About two octaves probably...
Think about it; most compr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]slowmotion,
I think the ultimate length of the upperbass horn is 3”- 4” throat. With longer horn it would be very complicated to time-align it as the horn will mask out the MF driver. The ultimate driver for upperbass s...

Hi all
Yes, the thing with midbass/upperbass horns , as Romy states, is that those horns are usually built to be too short. You might actually be better off using the driver in a sealed box.
For example, look at the size of a typical upper midra...

But not everyone agree with you there, Romy.
If I could make the directivity reasonable constant through the frequency range....all the way down....
An array of tweeters is the last thing I would do....
cheers ;)...

Hi Romy, all
Interesting theory there, Romy.
Must admit I never thought about it that way,
tho I've come to understand that "eastern" people
listen in a different way than "western" people...
Myself I'm a typical fundamental type of guy,
so I...

Hi
Some loose thoughts.....
A system where each amp-driver-horn-room interface are designed to work together as a unit in their respective frequency bandpass...
They each have to be optimized to work in their respective bandpass,
but at th...

Hi Romy
Yes, I think the toughts behind the Le Cléac'h flare is interesting.
I don't use them myself, however. And I don't use tractrix either.
But I do use a digital crossover.
cheers ;)

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 ;)...
|
Hi
With the Le Cléac'h horn spreadsheet you can design allmost any kind of horn you want. Short and wide, or long and narrow, or anything in between.
cheers ;)...

Hi
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jan, I disagree. Obviously …. in order to listen music there is no needs for a good playback at all.[/quote]
I agree.
I think I might have misunderstood what you were saying.
I'll go back and read the DPoLS-t...

Hi Romy , all
I have it on the tip of my toungue...
You know that feeling? Something that you just can't remember,

No, but parallell to that you also got the shift between listening

Hi [quote user="Romy the Cat"]…. The “live” bass never “dynamic” and ... Rgs,Romy the Cat[/quote] ?????? I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced b...

Hi
Maybe you should rent the apartment over you? Nice place for sub horns,
with opening in the ceiling like our japanese friends do ;)
I am planning subhorns with floor-to-ceiling mouths in each corner of the front wall of my listening room, w...
|
Hi
I'm a bit sceptical to doing it that way, Romy.
It depends on the height of your ceiling, maybe.
Your ears ( or some other hearing/sensing mechanism in your body )
"feels" large objects around you, and I think they will definitely "hear" ...

Hi
Pioneer did something with multicell tweeter horn.
I have a picture, but don't know how to upload it .

Hi
Well, there is an unfortunate fact that most music lovers and musicians listen to different aspects of the music than most "audiophiles".
But both the "music-lovers" and the "audiophiles" are in fact lucky, they are probably reasonably conte...

Hi Rich, Romy, all

Yes , I understand that, Romy.
That's no surprise ;)

I just wish somewhere would show up a manufacturer that would be able to produces compression drivers (or any drivers!!!) with sonic objectives…

Hi Romy
How was the lower midrange affected by the tweeter removal?
cheers, Jan...
