I guess you have heard a more detailed speakers then. Your collection seem rather extensive. I never meant the Fane S 8N was overly detailed, just that it my paper horn the detail was gone, so I will not try that again.I share the process because...

Is it possible that over last two years, the humidity difference (or change) has been setting in both driver and midbass wood horn structure? This can be tested. Install a dehumidifier in your attic and run for a month, listen to change in sound....

I think if everything goes as I planed then this month I will start my Midbass Horn project. I thought to do it later but I am too sick and tired without my main playback – so, I would rather to do it sooner than later. At present time I am strat...

Jorge,interesting findings. However, the tall arrays with small woofers is actually worth exploring further based on your findings. I am theorizing, but perhaps the "smearing" effect you were finding in comparison to the midbass horn was due to the h...

Macman: Maybe your tapped horns were too small. Speedysteve is absolutely in love with his, and you and him have a very similar setup with your 15" upper midbass horn and all....

I was thinking and thinking last couple days what to do with
my lower midbass situation. I do need to use 2 drivers per channel with 100dB efficiency
to get the dBs I need to match Macondo and Milq’s bass channel gain. I do want to use Vitavox 15”...

INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. So you said, midbass horns?OK, let's g...

Romy I see were you are going With this horn worship for midbass. It is the correct thing to do "But you still will not be happy with the outcome because it does no go low enough. You will not be happy with 60hz. Then you will need something that ...

Hi romy,Have you had a look at the website recently (site address above in marco's mail), they have very detailed discussion of midbass horn with photos of phase-plug etc. unfortunately it may be only in french ...R Weissman...

The horn are in the listening room, ready for final assembly, finishing and hopefully lifting up. My carpenter re-measured with laser rangefinder all key aspects of attic and gave me 80% that the horns will fit into the 3D space we designate for them...

[quote user="unicon"]Roman, first of all I feel good about your bass horn that's what i have always bin dreaming and if i get the space for it wont even waste a minute I think you already know it or using it ...You mentioned using a foam in back ch...

Last night I spent some time with observing my ULF and I conclude that I am not exactly know what I deal with. Do not get me wrong: the ULF forks fine, sounds fine and the playback is perfectly operational and listenable; it does sound very good ...

I was thinking and fantasizing about finishing of my midbass horn. My first idea was to paint it internally with the same color as my cathedral room. Perhaps a lighter grade of paint in the end as the horn goes dark. As the only mouths of the horns w...

Excellent news regarding this morning's discoveries. jd wrote:"...Are you able to say whether the problem is due to the horn position relative to the room, or to throat diameter relative to the driver diameter?..."Yes, a stupidly phrased question, bu...

There are very many totally not predictable things in bass horns; I would not go into enumeration of them – what the point? However, keeping the thread in context if it’s subject I would note that the objectives and reference points of the horn owner...

Thanks Johan, I got my SG505's and S150 horns, my throat piece is a lot longer than the one you showed above. Why can't they just sell that little screw... along with lots of other "why can't they"...Anyway, I just reread this thread and I can m...

Thanks Romy, your comment above cleared some of the questions I had regarding 50/60hz midbass horns.I found some info on the driver after digging through Japanese sites. I don't know if these info will help interpret wither the woofer will be go...

Romy,
I am off to Taiwan tomorrow but will ask the question by email. I have not heard that kind of custom diaphragm ever available from GOTO on SG146LD4 driver. I know the 15" woofer can be request with different stiffness of the cone.&...

Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I thought the lower end (200 ...

I have been looking in to mid bass horn designs to experiment with lately for the 4 way horn pa I am working on. As usual Good Sound Club always is on the Google search when dealing with any kind of horns. Although my reply to your post may be a few...

[quote user="Rewind"]You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde...

Skushino. Yes TH is designed to play 2 octaves and no more, this derives from the design which actually uses a labrynth, in the shape of a horn, to return (and amplify) the back wave of the driver to the front and add its strenght to the output, no...

Had a wonderful visit with my Japanese friend. But now she's flying West over the Pacific, and I wanted to add my experience to the TH discussion.The main benefit of the TH is the relatively small mouth compared with a traditional horn. That's all....

I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression drivers I tried. That is wha...

[quote user="de charlus"]It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound...

Charlus, it is not about an expression of gratitude, trust me, I am very indifferent neither to criticism or appreciation. Ironically what you are trying to do is in a way an organic holding a touch of a few audio ideas that I happened to advocate as...

Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

Yesterday I performed the environmental inspection of the section of my attic that host the midbass horn. The section of the attic is well isolated from the rest of the attic. I have some temperature and humidity sensors in there, In addition I bough...

[quote user="mjloudspeaker"]
My idea is a upright horn like your "midbass hanging thing", at 200 hz for the smaller size of it, and this will be my work for 2009/10. What I would like is exponential curve, not tractrix horn, something like this one...
