Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

Antonio,
Bruce Edgar sells an excellent all front-loading horn system, the Titan, which works well in small rooms. He will sell you unfinished horns, and you can find/buy the drivers yourself if you are a DIY guy, or on a budget. Considering the...

Romy,
Even using " digital dreck " ( and not knowing what " interesting imaging " might be ) my horns image very very well. Only in the sweet spot, but that's fine with me.
