Oops,
I'll send the images again once back at work on Monday.
The thraot size will be 7 inches.
Yes I have thought about paying someone else to do the work, but that sort of skilled labor is super expensive around here.
And... Yesterday ...

Wow, THAT IS BOLD!!!! The 45Hz how from 7” throat – that is very-very cool and very positively-obnoxious.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It is in a way ridicules. For years people who build of use horn fight with honk in horn, particularly in midbass-upperbass-lowerMF horns. I built my midbass horns and it has no honk, I mean no honk ever of any kind. S...

When many of your will experiment with building and listening your own horns and spend countless amount of time by sketching a configuration of your new horn assembly you then might come to an observation that Macondo Upperbass topology is very s...

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

Romy,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Remind you that horn
not only does that but it performs acoustic transformation gradually. [/quote]
Yes, I do
agree with you about that. From both theoretical and practical point of view it
is 100% true. But...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...

I keep thinking about the type of the loading the guy from Germany
used. I am not sure if I agree with Josh that the absence of front chamber if
the key for the success that Josh describes. Let analyze it.
The front chamber for LF drivers is not...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

Yes, this English pace did not give a lot of new information. I know nothing about the AudioTekne Company. I like that they wrote about their bass driver but I do not know how much truth and the actual results behind it. I do think that they wor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...to hear it from a person who advocates a single driver approach :-)[/quote]
Hahhaha, if
you call the combination of 4x23” + 4x15” + 12”+ 8” +2” a single driver
approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For a lot of reasons, I'd vote for an alternate placement. You've got that basement, so why not use it as a rear chamber? You might be able to use the volume "as is", without building a proper rear chamber. In this ca...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Since you use the
injection channel, stop using it. The injection channel was a ridiculous idea
with exceptionally beneficial results, but now I have found it better. You have
two Tannoy Red 10 drivers. Use the HF...
