Hi I am interested in building a speaker using horns like these can you guide me to where to source them I been looking arround and cant find noone that is either manufacturing or shipping large tractrix horns in the USA.ThanksEric...

Hi everybody, after reading RomytheCat's Macondo Setup I am very impressed ( phantastic music room ...) . Presently I have no working horns ( they are boxed), just questions.

The Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h’s horns or as I call them La-Horns get a lot of popularity among people who are trying to build horns loaded systems. But as anything else in audio the Morons hear any noise and they has no idea how to associate the noi...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] When Bruce realized a straight axis horn was a better choice he went with it. Like a good scientist. [/quote]
Ah, did Bruce realize it of he decided to make his customers to Bruce realize it?

[quote user="ulf"]One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF.

I moved your post into a separate thread as I think your post about a subject, contrary to the thread where it was moved from was about the virgin fantasies… [quote user="Ronnie"] I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I'...

Thanks Romy, Paul, and Ronnie for the comments and encouragement :
Here are some responses :
1) Rubber gaskets :
Maybe it is not so important to have an “air-tight” seal (???). The rubber gaskets are there to seal the cover to the rear chamber...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I guess your definition of “doing something different” would imply reading of 534 pages of BS from people who have no idea about Sound about advantages of LA-horn over tractrix… [/quote]Touché! Now you are referring to my ...

[quote user="MINGSU"]I think most of reader get my point of the car examples. The main point is to follow the manufacture recommendation on how to use the driver. Of course, if you want to do something different, that is your choice but don't come ...

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...

So first in line, the horns. They stressed out that particularly the horn flares where not within the comfort zone of their own developer team.That triggered the recruitment of Bruce Edgar. The design is only his, and they took it 1:1. Of course too...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Hm, the Injection channel via Lecleach? The MF via Lecleach? I wonder why people then are complaining about the vertical limitations. Anyhow, closer to the point.
[/quote]My mistake. I should not...

[quote user="oxric"] My mistake. I should not use the term Lecleach on this site. [/quote]
There is absolutely nothing prohibitive in Lecleach profile, it works very nice for HF but the La profile shall not be used in cases where vertical clea...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Here is frequency response without horn:Here is in my 46Hz horn (green is GOTO, blue is Supravox):[/quote]Perhaps that GOTO hole centred on about 225Hz is to do with using the incorrect throat in the horn? First thing I wou...

[quote user="anthony"]Perhaps that GOTO hole centred on about 225Hz is to do with using the incorrect throat in the horn? First thing I would do is extend the profile of that big horn so that it reaches the correct throat size for the GOTO units. I...

That "curl" beyond 350mm in your diagram is what the LeCleach profile is all about...drop it and it is not a LeCleach anymore (it is more or less Tractrix) and the benefits of that profile to do with the horns lower range are lost. Besides, a 1m dia...
|

I understand your recommendation and agree. I need to have upper bass and MF and than see how to merge fundamental channel in between.So, I better postpone experiments with compression drivers and only compare 12" Supravox in two horns: 42Hz 2m long ...

Hi i want to replace my 802 G drivers with something that plays flat and has extended highs. I have several horns was thinking of using Radian drivers like the 1.4" 745pb i have some 800hz 1.4" tractrix horns to mount them on. Anyone have experienc...

thanks for the good infoactually we are developing a full horn-loaded speaker the bass-bin is just inspired by Klipsch La Scala (just like Volti speaker) with curved sides. the mid-range consists of TAD 4001/Beryllium in Edgar wooden Tractrix horn an...

actually I'm from Iran and needless to say we are stock in the middle of nowhere here (sanctions,...) so we weren't able to hear much of the horn speakers, so we started to think we should do it ourselves because we are able to obtain CDs much easier...

Well they are not my sound either...I've gone tractrix on upper mid and mid horns and exponential on mid bass. Still have the tapped horns.The now black horns are someone else's and are intended to be used in light / small scale PA. That's the idea a...

Actually, you are the only know to me person who understood my “misuse” of word “Tractrix”. The Altec metal horns are a nightmare and that is one of the reasons I can’t even remotely approach any default Altec installation. I addressed it in here: h...

So this is not a stereo / mono discussion , just better for my needs .

I had exactly the same thought...They're "elliptical JMLC" horns by autotech.pl. There are some threads on diyaudio, including:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/group-buys/166312-waveguides-horns.htmland they have a website showing their myriad options ...
