Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...

I know this is an oooold thread, but how about the Precision Devices PD.2150? It has good LF capabilities and is reasonably priced for such a huge driver. It even has a new neodymium sister (PDN.2151), if the weight is an issue (it is absolutely huge...

I understand that "nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver". You are referring to the horn mouth I assume. Do you have a idea what compression ratio is good to have for upper base horn? It seems that 2:1 is ta...

Hi Romy,Well, I do not pretend to "know" those Rare-Gas zeners very well, neither to have "listened" (so to speak) to any. They are so low-performance devices when compared to the silicon technology that it is technically a pity, but, it doesn't prev...

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...

Very cool, James, it would be very interesting if you put your ears into an investigation of “Ooopsy back chamber.” I was wondering about the A45 Lowther as well. The 125Hz midbass horns that you made, how big the input hole in there? The attempt to ...

[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. ...
