Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

I spoke recently with a friend of my and was trying to describe the sound of my midbass horns. I said that if Wagner was able to have his custom Bayreuth Tubas then why I am not able to have my Bruckner Midbass horns. I kind of like the metaphor that...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

You are right about not compensating for recordings. Seems we've had this discussion before. So many variables.
Sealed box, horns, crossover slopes, and points, drivers and their various qualities,

Approximately a month ago I patterned the horn on the other channels and I have to admit the “tweak” is working. It feels as it acts as a sonic defogger minimizing some stray HF dispersions from MF channel. Generally the effect is positive but not hu...

[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

Wojtek,Can you tell us the size of the 204hz Azurahorn?I am pretty sure that the 550hz horn is around 15" in diameter. AH-425 is the model number. Please correct me if I am wrong....

Hey Romy,The Goto drivers (505TT, 100-8khz) and horns (S150, 150hz round exponential) finally arrived. I've only had them for a week so I can't say much about them besides they're not a simple drop in replacement of the previous 10" TAD woofer (200hz...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The subject of midbass nasal sound is very interesting. In addition to all OTHER aspects that might lead to midbass honk I would like to note that there is one that is in my view greatly overlooked – the precision of re...

From the time of the insertion and setting the proper crossover my midbass is growing and growing, getting larger, deeper and better in all aspects. I am not kidding and now, when I have no ULF channels operational, it is very obvious. I can’t explai...

[quote user="green heron"] I'm happy with my results midrange on up at the moment, but I'd like more slam from the midbass horns. The backchamber may be a bit too large, so I'm planning to experiment with the cabinet volume. Do you have any su...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

I have explored the subject of tapped horns. My exploration did not include listening them – ridicules, isn’t it? I did consult with a few folks, who I respect and who built and heard many of them and who know subject well. I pretty much know what I ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I think Romy's just jealous of all those conical horns, as endorsed by "he who shall not be named..." (sorry, to me, they're the distraction when looking @ this installation. I just keep thinking how colored every conical...

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...

Below is a sketch of the main frame, that Russ made for me based on our original discussions many months ago, consisting of the support for the UB115 horns and missing some finishing details such as bevelled edges, top end feature, holes for hori...

[quote user="haralanov"]Ironically or not, I have no practical problems with it, simply because I’m not using big UB horns. My upper bass channels are much more compact – 4 very massive 15” drivers with no horns. Their integration to my main widerang...

What are some of the limitations to using such a light-weight composition? (frequency, resonance etc.)I must admit the construction technique is appealing albeit somewhat slow. It lends itself to experimentation. Perhaps rather then using traditional...

I tend to agree with rowuk. The WE horns are great to load the WE drivers and
if the drivers are good, like 594A for instance then the result might be truly
great (of one do not know anything better). However, the greatness of the result is good ON...

I used to have Edgar 80hz straight horns and this was my only experience with short midbass horns. I did not like them in my system and sold them. Lately, I have been wondering about these designs in general and is there such a thing as a good soundi...

Jorge,Thanks for that information. I am just about over COVID-19. It really wasn't too bad, but it did stop me from doing just about everything. I do have some follow up questions but I am still not thinking too straight yet. I hope to be posti...

Being a trumpeter, I certainly have an opinion about this - on many levels.I believe one of the major benefits of a trumpet (horn) is the ability to completely melt into the orchestral fabric or with ease move outside when MY voice in my opinion has ...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...
