It looks like a new horn maker wanted to be know: the Eleven Horns
http://www.elevenhorns.com/welcome.htm
"... so.. what is a junkie? well, I guess an example is the best way to explain... between the two of us, we own a few dr...

A site visitor pointed me out the I never made an intended write up about the David Haigner horns. I just forgot about them… OK, let analyze David’s claims and his Alphahorn design. I would say right the way that I do not like the Alphahorn’s id...

I have been observing High-Efficiency loudspeakers for a while. I think I have seen/heard many of High-Efficiency endeavors and I think that I did develop acquired taste and some experiences about High-Efficiency results. So, I would like to pass som...

About horn body resonance: I used to doubt the need for mass in horns; after all, how much energy can a flimsy paper cone generate? Still, I went ahead and followed the advice of others when building mine, making them very strong and heavy. With ...

It is not surprising that the subject of horn is as screwed as the subject of drivers. It is understandable as driver must be made for specific horn loading, not one make drivers properly, so what the horns are made for?
A horn is a very simple dev...

[quote user="Jorge"]Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are R...

[quote user="Jim Smith"]You said, "I think the Cessaro folks shell recognize you as a quite valuable asset to explore US market."I'm curious as to what grounds you have for making such a statement. I've never had a single contact from them, ten...

Bruce Edgar, the founder and designer of California-based EdgarHorn Loudspeakers, recently announced that he discovered a new relationship between his business plan and rules of physics. According to Bruce: “The physics of sound reproduction th...

I think this post need to have an epigrapher:
“We knew what we wanted to hear, and so we developped, and developped, and developped... In hundreds of small and bigger steps. Over thirty years. Till we were "there" where we always wanted ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
...this interesting point has no practical answer. First of all in the case of Rakesh horn what N-Set proposed is not necessary. Those 115Hz Hasqiun-style horns that Rakesh emulates are well dumped with own mass and own ...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

Of cause your reply does not cover the subject that I was asking, which is fine, I do not mind. The subtle point that I constantly was trying to make (and that looks like escapes from understanding of the people who are afraid to use the term Lecleac...
|
I do not know why but as I listen to the 80hz Edgar horns more and more driven by the Dynaco tube amp I begin to really like the sound. Even in their untouched form there is some righteousness to the sound. I almost do not hear any serious deficienci...
|
Thinking about your options, I would locate the driver at the top inside corner of the horns (horns viewed while looking into mouth), and develop the horn flare from there. See explanations below:Driver located high and inside: "Hypotenus wall" of ho...

Hi. First time here. So this is where all the horn lovers go......My wife calls this my "man-cave"....I look at it as my "home stereo". This photo is a couple months old. Just add a freshly re-c...

Romy's quotes in blue :"...Discussing the Jessie project we multiple times mention the idea of the large midbass horn hanging above MF section... The rational was to have it positionally contra-react the output of the upperbass horn... But do we au...

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...

Hi Dominic:I hope you may be able to oblige with some additional comments on the specifications of the horns? What's the thickness and weight of the horns? What about the prices of the 420Hz and 600 Hz horns you mentioned above? Do you know what'...

Paul,Well it would be silly for me to insist that I'm absolutely correct here, as I too am only basing my analysis only on what I see, and what experience I have been able to amass (some profession-related, a little in...

I am trying to keep the discussion about midbass horns out of ULF thread, I guess if Rakesh would like he can create a separate thread dedicated to his specific installation and the design ideas. I would like to keep the content of the posts more...

Tuga,
it getting turned into the angeloitacare-level of posting. The entire idea of this thread was to innumerate the sources of horns makers: [quote user="Romy the Cat"] I constantly contacted by the visitor of my site and some people that I know ...

There is a popular myth that all horn people in one way or another subscribe to. They believe that reflections from higher frequency horns off the bodies of lower frequency horns is unavoidable destructive price to pay for horns time aliment.

Actually it is very interesting question and I almost feel you pain for decision you will be making. I do not think that anyone would be able to express any arbitral opinion about the subject, as least an opinion that worth to follow. You see, buildi...

[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

Romy,
