Steve Schell pointed to Bill Woods’ site aka RCAfan.
http://www.acoustichorn.com/
I do not know the guy but the site looks attractive. Some of his old large horns are interesting as so on… however, what make me to wonder is the horns that Bill Woo...

In my observations about the SEC 2006 I associated the high-end industry with a strip join. Continuing this thinking I have to admit that Srajan Ebaen’s 6Moons.com site remind me a strip join with inflatable robotic girls. The all girls there ar...

I pretty sure we are talking the same things, ie
Phase shift = frequency dependent delay - spreads a signal out
Geometric arrival delay is linear phase - delays all frequencies equally (obviously)
I was just hypothesizing that a slightly ge...

Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

Hi Romy,
FYI: The previous photo of some unknown persons "pile o' horns" appears to be:
Upper midrange: 1" TAD TD-2002 mounted to 650Hz Edgarhorn
Supertweeter: Fostex T90A or T925A.
Lower midrange: ...

[quote user="cv"] Well, the Cogent (Steve Schell and Rich Drysdale) boys are building just such a beast: field coil magnet, (possible) permendur polepieces for >2T, Fs 70Hz, throat - dunno, but at least 3" dia, reduced compression ratio relative t...

Hi Romy,You wrote:"They tunes for 115Hz and pushed in room down to ~95Hz one channel and 150Hz another."So do your horns have 115Hz flare frequency? (and have the rear chamber tuned for 115Hz as well)From the pictures the horns lo...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:
Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

Dear CatThe best tweeters that I have ever heard is a plasma tweeter. It is not 3 x 3, but man they are 1000 times better than the previous best ribbon tweeters found in expensive Maggies.Have you seen or heard one?Cheers...

Romy,
More to come soon but a couple comments regarding bass horns ( and one on Tractrix horns ) :
The Edgar Seismic subwoofer ( 18" JBL E155-4 hyperbolic-exponential folded horn, 40 Hz Fc ) works very well in my room - much better than the 1...

Back to the subject of this thread!
I heard some rendition of Dr Edgar's gigantic monsters at the Montreal
show this year (2006) running with Modwright electronics, some 16 wpc
tube amplification (possibly SET). There was in that room also...

Hi Guys,An idea I've had for damping thinner horns in a more or less aesthetically pleasing manner is to house the horn in a Sonotube rigid cardboard cylindrical concrete former, and then apply the desired damping material inside the Sonotube.&n...

Allo fellas,
Regarding pricing, best if you check with Martin; I know what I'm paying but I had to commission them specially - I know a hell of a lot of work went into making the mould, jigs to support the mould, etc etc. Actually the 340s were my c...
|
Hi allIf anyone wants to go for a UK or US group buy on these, please let me know and we can co-ordinate with Martin. Likewise, if you can't find his email address online, drop me an email via the site and I will put you in touch.Cheers,cv...

A mix of conctrete and steel skeleton is a very good mixture, particularly for the upperbass horn. BTW, go not be “disappointed” that you did not go for Tractrix. The Tractrix has many advantages but for the range where you operate I hardly see any a...

hi romyi am listening now abought 2 weeks my orphean horns. when they arrived, i first connect them to my electronic crossover, and they sound horny, very bad. after i connect them to the own crossover, sound changed right away. now, that i heard mos...

The following link will take you to images showing my construction method for small to medium-sized horns (click on the images... to view the explanations) : http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/jessie-dazzle/400Hz%20Tractrix%20Horn/ Since these are...

[quote user="Jordi"] The secret is the K-Horns with ALL the mods!!! If you heard it you wouild know what I'm talking about! . [/quote]
The K-Horns were Klipsch’s attempt to do something more or less reasonably sounding. They were doing K-Horns...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Good question, HookEm. I would say my answer would be 2, “Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general”. Do not get me wrong, driving your, or any other single drivers would do fine by ML2.0 and you will be able to...

I just noticed the empty space at the location where your midbass horns are/were positioned. Am I blind or are they missing?Edit: I must be very stupid - the photo is probably taken before they were installed... :-))...
|
If you have suitable space behind your listing position you could maybe use a pair of K-horns with a single Vitavox the same way you used your big midbass horns in the old house. There are always some empty cabs , original or clones available . They ...

[quote user="noviygera"] Question, Romy:Why do you suggest to add the extension on the back, not the front, as B. Edgar suggested. He specifically commented that the MOUTH area is too small and said the throat size was OK?[/quote] Herman, the mouth a...
