Hi
With the Le Cléac'h horn spreadsheet you can design allmost any kind of horn you want. Short and wide, or long and narrow, or anything in between.
cheers ;)...

Hi
I am not using Le Cléac'h flares myself.
But his aproach to designing horns is interesting, I think.
I did make a Le Cléac'h horn a couple of years ago,
just for testing. It sounded very good.
cheers ;)...

Hi James,Just so you know about these folks. go to this site and page down for a bit till you find the horn installation topic. http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htmRather interesting and might be all of the mistakes you can make in one place, ...

This Polish guy has an entertaining site with lots of own reviews. Looks like he now offers Lampizator horns: http://www.lampizator.eu/NEWDAC/Lampizator/NEW__LAmpizatOr_Speakers.html...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...

It is so funny. As Kitty and I are looking for different
houses we look at different listening rooms and we have different ways to think
about room sizes. She think about space for her piano and size of oriental ran
she would drop on the floor. Wh...

Wow, Josh, that's a whole lot of writing! Truth be told, I did not read it all, but I see (and hear) the back-horn. Hard to believe after all your experience that there is still "more" out there, but maybe you will also find time to read extensively...

This new speakers from DeVore look interesting, though subwoofer could be better. I wish they were sealed box, but this is what it is. Unfortunately there is no chance for me to listen to them, but I'm willing to hear your idea or anyone who had chan...

KeaAudio. I think we are taking about different things. I was under impression that Goerlich speakers are really sandwiches – layers of aluminum foil inner-layered with plastic. Yes, I am not a big fan, in fact an opponent, of rubber shrouding for h...

I have never heard of any woofer that manages 50Hz lower cut off frequency in a horn arrangement. The simple fact is that a woofer does not emit sound under the resonance frequency (that is without artificially changing that, ie active). The resonanc...

I just wish before I start my project I read a few detail descriptions of the similar projects. Unfortunately they do not exist and I well understand that my project is in away an exemplary for the horn-minded people. All midbass horn are different a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, they are Fane 24” bass driver with 24Hz primary resonance. I am waiting for the final sound check; the final is long time away. I will be testing today different back chamber size and different drivers. I have a few Al...

Ok, can someone to explain why the horn has those wings?

Ok, here is another subject. I feel that I kind of screw it up as I did not foresee it in my planning. What I need is to add some decupling devised to my horn in the location where it will be mounted to the surface of the house frame. The horn will ...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

[quote user="Horn Savant"]Final exit ~ 1M x 2M crn loaded (yielding 1/4 given mouth cut-off frequency)With 416's bass can be devastatingly spectacular !The general public have no concept of the efficacy of large bass horns[/quote]thanks the woofers a...

Here I would like to share some basic ideas about the skeleton of the horn. This is just a view from 50.000 feet but it will give some illustration what is brewing in my mind.
The one side of the triangular horn will be flat and will sit at le...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The view is from the mouth of the right horn.[/quote]Here is the way how the horn will be mounted between the top and bottom beams and along with rafters. What is very kinky in here is that the curved space between two roo...

I have built quite a few bass horns and found any thing over 1/2 inch ply wood reinforced is all you need, in front of your baffle. If you had ever built a few on your own and had the right equipment to test you would realize this, but when your a ha...

wow.thanks for comments.La Grande Castine will not be as expensive as Cessaro Gamma.i am sorry but i cannot answer to all questions, for several reasons you can understand.we have tested many drivers since the early prototype of La Grande Castine. BM...

I'm sure you've probably seen this before, but here is another example of shoe horning a large horn into a room.
Discussion of this approach can be found here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/140190-jean-michel-le...

Some folks from Australian audio site nominated my Macondo as the ugliest loudspeaker. I would disagree but my objective in this thread is not arguing about tastes but to talk a bit about reference points of judgments. It is irrelevant to me per...

[quote user="Morfeas"] Fs of the driver is measured at 32HZ matched for both channels. [/quote] Manolis, if you have 32HZ of loaded driver resonance and a large throat in such a short horn then I would propose that you have your 50HZ not from the loa...

Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

Hi Romy,If you have a moment between setting up your gear in new room, can you point me to the thread where you discuss suggested wood horn finishing techniques? I can't find it.I am hopefully on verge of placing order for my first mid-bass horn for ...

Oops sorry, I just re-read you post and you did said the “cub feet”. I read it as “sq feet”… so it came from it… If I have 12,000 square feet I would defiantly build a nice sleeping place for my Koshka inside a 50Hz midbass horn… That is one of the r...

I am not selling BR (honest), but if you - a horn guy - think about running a 150 Hz horn down to 150 Hz, perhaps that would put this into perspective.As one who has heard only "horn-sounding" horns, if I ever get to making some horns it will es...
