hi Romy
my name is Angelo. I am swiss/italian, live in brazil the last 10 years . I grew up assisting my father buiding speakers and comercialize them in small numbers. I where listening for many years on Klipschorn replica with altec 416-8b woofer, altec 288-16g driver on 1003b horn and coral h100 tweeters, with electronic crossover d23. I am tired abought the limitations of this system, the horny sound of the horns, and want to start something new. I did read the last couple of days your post's, and confess, i learnd a lot. The best sound i remember, and never forgot, was at Holger Frommes Home, from Avantgarde Acoustic, the trios. I never heard something better. I visit Ale Acoustic in Japan, heard some crazy stuff over there ( system with 9m basshorn etc. ) but time alignment etc. was really a problem.....
A view weeks ago i bought a pair of orphean horns from bd design,

what do u think abought the bms4592nd coax compression drivers, and use it in one horn, for frequencies from 220hz up to 20khz ?
i intend to use it with klipschorn, but want to built a mid-bass horn, for frequencies from 100hz to 800hz ore so, and then use the orphean horn. At the meen time, i can get brazilian wood with 120cm diameter and found a company , wich has a lathe , so i could make the tractrix horns of one ore two woodblocks, no slices.
u will enjoy this site, quit interesting : http://www.hornfabrik-eder.de/
