I was cleaning today Macondo. To clean the horns painted in texture paint is a pain in ass. The dust settle in the valley of the paint and it is very hard to clean it up. I used a hard foam-make brash and was driving the dust out by performing wide s...

I need to say that with all huge advantages I have in my room with my midbass horns there is something that lost. I lost a great impulse response that I use to have on my old room with my direct radiating bass array covering up to 70Hz. I did not...

I was listening recently my Carl Schuricht’s Bruckner and I again noted what I am been noting for a while. I feel like my Midbass horns begin to sound a bit saggy. It is not too but and the degree of change is very minor. It is not even auditable...

Hi,I dont use my tapped horns any longer because of the annoying peaks above the usable frequency range. Some how they managed to excite a room node at 60Hz that none of the other bass solutions I have tried messed with. They also didnt have the outp...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

Hello,A couple of things to correct here - the horn flare is not conical even though the exterior surface gives that impression.Also I don't believe Jeffrey has any affiliation with weiss or other industry types at all - in fact, from what I've seen ...

I made a small plugin for Sketchup where you can draw/sketch straight horn with any number of petals with any number of conical segments that span the length of the horn.

[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.
