OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Good question, HookEm. I would say my answer would be 2, “Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general”. Do not get me wrong, driving your, or any other single drivers would do fine by ML2.0 and you will be able to...

I just noticed the empty space at the location where your midbass horns are/were positioned. Am I blind or are they missing?Edit: I must be very stupid - the photo is probably taken before they were installed... :-))...

If you have suitable space behind your listing position you could maybe use a pair of K-horns with a single Vitavox the same way you used your big midbass horns in the old house. There are always some empty cabs , original or clones available . They ...

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...

Hi Ronnie, There are a few things that could be causing the alien sounds you site. One, of course, could be certain frequency nodes being excited by room reflections. As long as your room is reasonably dampened, this would not...

John Sheerin? I have come across what this character does on-line. I am not familiar with him personally but I am NOT a big fun of what he does. He moves his hands in space and sometimes as the resume of his hands moment some horn are built up. H...

I have no idea what he is and what he is looking for. He declares himself as “just an average guy in an average basement shop building hi-fi audio horn speakers from wood”. I do not even know in what country his leaves, not that it is important...

Occasionally scanning popular internet forums and looking what horn say I discover an interesting tendency. The people who fancy themselves big horns aficionado always roll out eyes and as an expression of final wisdom they express something like thi...

[quote user="Ronnie"]Haven't had sound with this kind of impact here before. It's extremely even throughout the whole room (behind the speakers too), except for the LF. Wonderful![/quote]BTW, Ronnie, did your recent experiments somehow altered the pr...

Back in end of 90s, we read articles by Thomas Dunker, Joe Roberts, Bruce Edgar, and many others (some of them were designers and some of them just publicists) who were trying to persuade that horns are some kind of advantageous topology and that...

There was one of those PC Audio demo show in CA. The AA guy, John Swenson, when there, posted his comments

I do not extend a lot of credit to those demos; I also do n...

Paul S,Cessaro use plate amplifiers in theirs "bass horns". I do not know if they are made by Hypex (I think I already saw "Made in Poland" in one of theirs amplifiers) but if you find someone around with a Cessaro you could experience it.EDIT: a bet...

Interesting idea indeed and very interesting crossover points. Denmark is generally is very advance country in terms of audio.
The Roundabout people said very little, is anything about their horns. However the is one subject that I do not like in th...

[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...

I still remember proposed solution for symetrical TAD 1201 horn loaded midbass sections. Was it to free listener from sweet spot low seat position ? I could imagine that that midbass horn performing up to 1000Hz sitting low on the floor would impair&...

In reply to my post:
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The epoxy carbon-kevlar and glass fibers staffed with damping? I wonder how more fun would be if they staff these hollow horns with sand, I would…. I had once an idea to have a very soft sand horn usi...

Considering the conclusions of my recent experiences that I described in the following thread:
http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=6876
I would like to share some of my observation that the people who would go multi-way horns might fi...

I know, I know, I know…
Any person who in one way or other practices horn-loading loudspeakers has a wet dream about bass horns. Here and there people built them. Here and there you can hear the assuring and overconfident statements like: “the...

There is (or was?) a Speaker builder in South Korea I think, Mr. P.Y. Parks. He made the Koechel K300 Horm speakers.There was a report in Sound Practise some time ago. I heard, he is still active, but I have no more information...

[quote user="skushino"] I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is this correct?
Maybe you're right. But here is wh...

A little update : Reading some recent comments in the "Configuration from Italy" thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=12605#12605 prompted me to share what I've recently done. Yes its an obvious thing to do, but it took...

Yes, Jessie, the idea of the triangle horns with some kind of location of the drivers is what I was thinking as well. This week my attic, the walls, the beams and all the rest of the things will be expected and we will convert it to AutoCAD. Then I w...

I am on record as not liking back loaded
horns:to be effective at bass frequencies, a BLH needs to be as long
as a FLH would be; I've yet to see a BLH, with the possible exception
of the Tannoy Westminster, that actually has a long enough horn ...

I note English Mfgrs tried low power ribbon Midrange horns in the 50's (Decca, Kelly & Quad also made one!).These were probably inspired by the hi pwr prewar? Klangfilm ribbon horn (would like to hear one of those!) But, after Peter Walker moved ...

I am more and more inclining to finish my horn in the textured paint of the color of my room. However, lately I have another “idee fixe”. My listening room has a very pleasant light pattern, something that was here before and something that I added. ...
