Oddly the seller has removed the images of the wood horns as well as the mid bass compression drivers. They are still illustrated in the plans. Great looking horns. Perhaps he sold them. They where 150 to 5k drivers. I think Jeffery Jackson probably ...

After living for a few years with Edgar 80Hz straight horns, I've had many urges to find a better sounding solution. I have a reason. Every time I turn them off and continue listening without them I notice that something good happens to the sound. It...

What I find a very interesting in the design direction of Sadurni Acoustics went is a fist attempt to integrate horn and frame in the same sculpture. I like this idea from very beginning when I “invented” it but I never see anybody went for it. I do ...

The folks from lencoheaven.com have a thread where they as most of the people online stupidly damp pictures of different horns, supplementing them with howls “gorgeous” and “beautiful.” One of the installations picked my attention:

Here's how I will initially position the mid bass horns. The imaging is excellent....though I give a little away in dynamics. The 12-inch B&C drivers kill the puny 8-inch Fane drivers for this application. Well done John Inlow for this design. I ...

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...

Indeed, if the horns are doing their job then there will be some very powerful vibrating going on up there, for better and for worse.Decoupling the horns would require that the structures of the horns themselves and their support members have solid p...

About the proposed attic-mounted 40Hz horns: Is there an elephant in the room?I'm speaking of the proximity of two horns, relative to each other, and the possible consequence; namely they may end up working as a sort of mono horn... A situation furth...

I do have platy of space and the LF section for K-Horns might
be a very interesting idea to try. The Vitavos was dese to use in the UK replica
of K-Horn. I never liked the K-Horn too much as they always project imaging that
is “flat” in the wall. ...

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...

Ronnie,
Very nice, though I do not know where you would like me to move the thread. (It looks like it’s OK where it is). There are some comments that I might to pass.
You decided to go for a large MF driver. This is fine if you like it but I ...

Firstly, thank you to Montepilot, Paul S, KLegind, zanon and Romy for all your thoughts on the Zu Druids. I recently tried high-passing the Druids at various frequencies and using a pair of Wilson-Benesch Chimeras and various amps for LF and uppe...

I've had a long-time desire to replace my Edgar 80hz midbass shells with a better performing solution. My Edgarhorns arrived in 2005, and I made incremental improvements over the years until now they have little in common with the original Edgarhorn...

{let just look at the horns: 60Hz-500Hz-15 kHz}What does this mean? THere seems to be three horns. Does the above mean one horn covers from 60Hz to 500Hz, the middle one from 500Hz to 15K and the last one from 15K to upper somewhere. ...

Putting The Mid Bass horns behind your head will not work. This thread was about Mid Bass Horns Project, do you thank you will be able to use any frequency above 80 cycles with rear fired horns that are behind your head? That is a Joke. It looks more...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...
