Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

Hi Romy,If you have a moment between setting up your gear in new room, can you point me to the thread where you discuss suggested wood horn finishing techniques? I can't find it.I am hopefully on verge of placing order for my first mid-bass horn for ...

Here I would like to share some basic ideas about the skeleton of the horn. This is just a view from 50.000 feet but it will give some illustration what is brewing in my mind.
The one side of the triangular horn will be flat and will sit at le...

Hi there
I can see Romy's face when he's trying to figure out Martin's time alignment strategy;0) I have Martin's 204 Hz horn with Fostex 208 E Sig. These horns are to be big to properly integrate with anything. They are OK with Fostex Lowther drive...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

There is a US company “Acoustic Horn Company” somewhere in ... , that makes, as I understand, only metal conical horns. The company, owner Bill Woods presents his motto as “Horns based on the quality and lost engineering of the past”. I al...

This makes a lot more of sense to me. I understood you wrongly and I believed that the product "as is" and a priori can be interesting as a whole. I think that the design is interesting for the horn implementation, the horn themselves (look quite sol...

Hi James,Just so you know about these folks. go to this site and page down for a bit till you find the horn installation topic. http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htmRather interesting and might be all of the mistakes you can make in one place, ...

[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 ...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

[quote user="noviygera"]Number one, that I'd like to run by you guys due to it's simpler nature and closer to reality execution is the idea I have been thinking about. No first hand experience with any of this.Say we use something like altec 1505b mu...

Gera, is this an idea you're familiar with from a sonic standpoint? The horns are supposed to boost lower frequencies within their pass bands without adding their own sound, or - more realistically - allowing for their own minimal contribution to th...

Romy,When you say that the Vitavox 15" was the best midbass you heard, was it in a Vitavox corner horn? I'm think about acquiring or building a pair of Vitavox corner horns as I have a perfect room for them. ...

I suspect that the 8" and 5" cones and 1" compression driver are in the Danley Signature Synergy multiple entry horn. This creates a physically phase aligned point source above 45 Hz and probably a bunch of diffraction. The double 15" woofers are an ...

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...

@Mats -- Thank you! This has already been the best sounding system I have built and designed, but hearing how good it sounds, lets me know how good it can be in the future. Thank you for the info on the JBL 2482. I've considered swapping the diaphrag...
