Also, I believe that you will need future access to the horns (once installed) to tighten the nuts (after time) because the wood will compress, the horn structure will loosen up....

You must have some fresh turkey meat after building such a beauty of a horn. Looks delicious. And share it with your cat. ...

Ok, understood. By the way, Dayton Metallized Polypropylene capacitors are fine for this experiment right? I don't have to buy expensive ones just to have a good idea of the passive crossover sound quality? I hope not.-Herman...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. Ho...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am more and more inclining to finish my horn in the textured paint of the color of my room. However, lately I have another “idee fixe”. My listening room has a very pleasant light pattern, something that was here before a...

Romy,Thank you for constructive suggestions, they will be very useful tonight. I am slowly getting the hang of this system tuning and observation approach that you advocate. I do not have separate identical amps (or one multi-channel) for separate sp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Herman, I completely do not understand what you ask. The physical aligning of magnets is absolutely irrelevant. The crossover slopes are irrelevant. [/quote]OK.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Why would you need to do switching b...

Vasyachkin, if this is still relevant:I've tried dipole bass and dipole mids with horns mid/highs in my system. If anything, dipole works the WORST for the bass and here's why:It does not load the room with bass pressure (or bass sound). ...

I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.
Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn
above and a mid horn below and they are physically time aligned, meaning
th...

[quote user="Paul S"]Your point about relative levels is well taken. Still, the typical concert grand piano, for instance, does about a 27 Hz fundamental, as I recall (and certain pianos go rather lower), and some other instruments are not far behind...

This is a pro audio company that came out with a nice looking system, supposedly they are more about SQ than others:http://www.voidaudio.com/product_detail.asp?id=42...

Ok, let's just consider EAW folded bass horns....
|

I'm wondering has anyone actually tried using the pro sub horns, similar to EAW LA400 (about 36"x36"x24" or similar size). There are a few different products available, such as Fitzmaurice tuba, EAW, based on a 15" or 12" woofer. What are your experi...

Hello friends,For long I wanted to address the issues of too few power outlets and improvement of AC quality. I currently use two $10 power strips. I do not have $2000 for APS purepower, so maybe some one can help me start off with the basics. I have...

[quote user="KLegind"]I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management ...

Confirming our concern about digital crossovers, by Harman international, the parent co. of DBX, today at 11am, and I will quote, "theoretically they compress the sound" and also I will quote, "it is a concern for live recording and not live sound". ...

Kris,thanks. Here's what I have:>>There is a
caveat: The combined input impedance of the power amps must be at least
10 times the output impedance of the preamp. Otherwise the load will
kill the sound of your playback.I use a mixer as a pre-...

Thanks for that collection of negative information on the DSP effects on music, Romy. I'm not a contributor to your site but you always put me in wierd situations with your unusual findings. For example, I have always used a DBX digital crossover in ...

The answer is dynamic balance. It's objectively easy to prove too. Let's say you are in a room behind a closed door. In the other room is a musician playing an instrument. Even an easier example -- a person talking in the other room. You know that i...

I purchased a pair of front loaded horns with JBL e120 12" drivers. They are crossed over at 200 and 800Hz 24/octave2 pictures here:http://picasaweb.google.com/noviygera/Midbass#dimensions are of the cabs are 28" wide-20" high and 24" deep.When I ho...

Alphahorn seems to incorporate the BMS 4592 coax compression driver. Similar CD horn is already incorporated in the CODA speakers:http://codaaudio.net/Rx35.3-way_full_range_system2.0.htmlThe guy from Austria probably gets the German BMS dri...

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 ...
|
|
Since no one replied, I thought of narrowing down the problem. I need to make a horn that will cover up to 600Hz. I will guess that it will be 150 to 600Hz. But better yet 90 to 600Hz. Is this posssible. Do I need to make a compression chamber? Do I ...
