Hi jd*
thank you for caring, and encouraging me to wade through all of this horn info.
I'm 63 by now, not sure if I'll ever get out of there alive before I'm done though...

Romy posted some picture about a commercial horn (Western Electric WE15) that has -some- merit for him (note the fond size).

Very well, a picture says a 1000 words, I like it --- also it gives some perspective about this here endeavour to boot. Also when I'm told that horns are actually very simple, and I'm just one more Moron who has not figured that yet.
This leaves me with the question, why the need to get lost in the 'forest' in the first place?
This horn subject does not give me sufficient 'excitations' I’m afraid, I was just looking for some practical inputs like: all (99%) of horns suck, are actually very simple to understand, etc. --- good stuff.
A very good position to start from. Next of course this here local horn expert (he also got it simple going) tells us mid-base (mind you, not upper...) NEEDS 15" driver minimum, and 8" driver for upper-bass sucks… hm.
To keep it short now, we just gonna start our mid-bass horn project based on our own premises, and then listen to the results (good to know it is simple, also being -very intelligent persons- should help). Same we done with our box-speakers.

Cheers,
Axel
