"Gargoyle, YMMV, but I
associate LF propagation/amplification with mass; there has to be some
way to really "anchor" at least the LF driver. "Noted"I was thinking MF for
the felt and/or paper horns, although I guess you could begin with a

Here is an interesting setup. It is nowhere in Moscow Russia. I did not hear it but it does not mean that we can’t analyze what the authored was trying to accomplish.
It is 3-way installation. Bass looks like dual G...

I have seen that people online react surprisingly to my post above. Hey are accustom that I am hyper-demanding and tough for production of DIY speaker attempts but above I suddenly proposed to relatively mediocre speaker to become the become th...

It looks like a new horn maker wanted to be know: the Eleven Horns

Guy, here some unconnected comments that you might find worth considering. They are in no order or importance, just random thoughts.
1) Talking and describing about horn we shall always mention at least 5 mandatory characteristics

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

Well, acg, I am not wild about your idea of the curved frame,
primary on the reason of esthetics but it is your speaker not mine and you
shall do whatever pleases you. A few mandatory things that I would like to

Well, as uselessly the host who did the interview is an
idiot but it is nothing new. The music played is idiotic as well, there is
nothing new in there as well, the high-end audio today is made to play this
music. A few short words about the desig...

It is not my Audio “Bucket List” and not the audio things that I would like to experience before the 2012. These are just the regions of audio curiosity that I would be excited to sample and motivated to make efforts to pursue. The entries without an...

I have been working on curves for tractrix horns based on data generated by HornCalc software. I configured the software to give values corresponding to radial sections for every 10mm of axial length of a horn nearly 1 meter long. When I plot the cur...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] so a few things... one, there is a pair of Goto 370 on eBay and pictures of insides... the newer ones are made the same, but it seems that the execution has gotten a better/cleaner compared to these.. my diaphragms look...

This article was written by Johan Dreyer in 2006 posted at AA and the reposted recently at a Johan's local South African forum:

I desided to give to the Johan’ thoughts some exposure at the horn-citri...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]One issue that I would consider is that the Tractrix profile supposedly does not lend itself aswell to extremely low frequency horns (being too short) as other profiles in particular the Hypex (Salmon) shape. [/quote]
Yep,...

Hello again, Romy.. let me see if I can clear some of this up....
first, you are indeed correct on your horn thoughts.. but some clarification is in order...

New attempts at ..well... absorbing reflections from the low ceiling (and diffusing the very highest frequencies I suppose). This is not exactly the type of treatment I want, but it works for experimenting.I also don't think this is quite the same as...

Hmmm, are you sure that you do not do a mistake?
Jessie, I do not know how to say it but looking at your last picture something does not work for me. The hone that you made are elegant and graceful but painted in glossy black with that very rough st...

Hi RomyI have one gas tube which regulates at 136v and i put it in both sockets to see the effect. Looks like my tubes running at higher voltages gives me the readings I got. Anyway I bought a bunch of gas tubes and will play with them when I get the...

1) No, the cabinet is not 10K more. It's 19.5K more... and not even Baltic Birch, but Douglas Fir. Again, with a long justification about the special laquer finish used how expensive it is, how long it takes to apply, etc....

Thank you Antonio. I now believe that those natural resonances were what I was hearing, and that they are very painful when the loudspeakers have limited bandwidth!I've listened to Caballé again, now with MF and LF connected, and now the resonan...

Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the phonostage is not a problem afte...
