Ok... Assuming the lack of time alignment is compensated for via a DSP:
There are likely large chunks of the frequency spectrum that go un addressed, and equally large chunks that are mall-addressed.
I would say that there are two main ranges ...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable free air resonance... such a toy would be wonderful with custom midbass and bass horns... [/quote]

Romy,
The upper bass horn has a Ceramic driver 18sound 8M400, the MF horn has an 18sound 2060A Neodymium magnet, tweeter is Beyma Ceramic driver and supertweeter is Fostex Alnico. The Leak amps are PP deep class A, we do have a...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...
|

Well, yes... I've not been to prison in over two years! Apart from keeping me off the streets at night, the results when listening to one of the 40Hz horns were, dare I say, encouraging, though I do hesitate to say so, as the "evaluation" was carried...

Paul,I'm with you waiting for a bit more enlightenment and less rhetoric on the subject. As you stated if e.g. a Bass reflex does certain things wrong there are some known 'recipes' / fixes to try, and some will work. We would want to utilize a u...

Romy,you did not disappoint my expectation in your reply. Who can argue with the take: "bugger off and do some home-work"? On the other hand, when looking through that "Knowledge tree TM" it's more of a "forest" as far as horns are concerned. So it's...

Yes, I know it is not correct to make any generalizations and it all depends upon the acoustic environment, where the horn is being placed and the influence of the other channels, so my original question was in context of listening to the upperbass h...

Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...

Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”....

Marc Henry-In the 6moons write-up, you mentioned the Altec 515 re-issue not being satisfactory for your purposes on the Grande Castine horn. I presume the specific 515 variant you used was the 'g' type (designed for horn loading) rather than 515'b' ...

[quote user="speedysteve"]I have found
that 8th order X/O works best with them and I cross at 90Hz these days.
4th order is ok but you get minor colourations and some bleed through

Danvprod, I hope you understand that “proper four or five-way system” is some kind of Unicornnish type of animal and we could talk about it only abstractly. Still, since you have mentioned it – what and how are you trying to accomplish with your five...

Guest napping now from 16 hrs jet lag, so I have a moment...Jorge, you raise an interesting point about THs. I may be incorrect in assuming THs sound worse as they play higher in freq. Perhaps instead the limitation is one of narrow bandwidth rathe...

So, with this horn I got the sound I was dreaming for!Currently system consists of 4 channels:1. RAAL Lazy Ribbon (14k+)2. JBL 2453 in 550Hz LeCleach (1200 - 14k)3. JBL 2490 in first part of own JBL horn (300-1200)4. 12" Supravox in 42Hz 2m long horn...

I've been thinking about trying the Klipsch Jubilee. The idea I have is to replace my bass channel (Aura 1808 in reflex box) together with midbass channel (Funktion One F115) with a single Klipsch Jubilee channel. Of course I'm talking about stereo p...

Merry Christmas!Nice woodworking job on your speakers.I have a couple if questions:Why did you select the drivers that you did?What made you select one horn for the midrange but for nothing else?What process did you use to select the crossover points...
