So, two almost two years later and this contraption is still in my room and "ain´t goin nowhere" :-)Guys, I became obsessed with horn speakers and specially with Onkyo product so I would like to share with you my latest experiences.The speakers I tal...

[quote user="Horn Savant"] I think it's about the same as free-air resonance - backwave to entire basement. Precedent: pre-war theatre horns(open rear like Shearer/ERPI)(unlike post-war reflex tuned designs like Altec A4)(I don't like reflex boxes - ...

[quote user="msaudio"] Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. [/quote]
It is not my view. I wrote about it many times before...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

I do not have any big prejudices and do not invest too much into specific type of horn. In my view at home form a very unique combination between compression driver and Horn, making compression driver to sound the best. I have two original diffe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]. What was your resonant frequency after loading? The 416 are 25Hz drivers, after loading and with two drivers it might be deep in teens. From the picture it looks like you keep the back chamber of extra large space, or eve...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

Being a Russian by birth and inheriting all typical for Russian masochism I sometime visit the High Efficiency Speakers Asylum, laughing me sick tail off. Between the fresks in there patting each other and the mercantile cretins who pose themselv...

Msaudio, I also had all 1” Altec drivers and learned that what Altec does in those drivers it very good to sound reinforce Sarah Palin speeches during in her Midwest redneck rallies but they are hardly acceptable for serious music reproduction. Brad ...

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...

Gentlemen:I've thought about this mid-bass challenge for quite some time. I have tried many approaches.For the sake of my example, let's assume mid-bass to cover from 60-600Hz. That just happens to be the classic "decade". I have to fully agree with ...

Hi Roman!So, an SG-37FRP finally dropped on yr. laps;-) - glad it happened: not because you're now part of an Olympus-like lobby, but because you'll be able to judge with yr. own ears, much, MUCH better than theorically speculating on this or that......

In the linked there above “Barn Conversion - James' Project” I have expressed my attitude toward low frequency bass. I certainly not “against” bass horn it but have “concerns”. The “open bottom” concept that I invented for myself is always make me to...

A six year ago or so when I played with different compression drivers I bought a pair of Dukane 5A540 and at that time I was not able to find any information about them. Nowadays I was pointed out that an eBay sealer “ bayleafs” actions a pair of Duk...

I spent many hours listening and experimenting, trying to change the signature of my mid-base channel. Everything that I'm trying suggest me that I am in at very right direction but I am still not server I would say freeze the system and do not t...

So are the drivers just reworked altec componets with fieldcoils installed? Or are the drivers based on the 288 and 515B design? And you are correct some may not understand this type of workmanship. Can you post a picture of the front of the horn? I ...

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

We had this exchange with Christopher Witmer, who lives in Japan, via the AA about the new driver form some small Japanese manufacturer. The dirt who runs that form has deleted the whole development. Hm, people wonder why for years I have a vocal and...

[quote user="jweiss"] It was good to finally meet you at CES at the Cogent Room. I guess that you really found Steve and Rich's drivers pretty interesting (you initially wanted to buy a pair of the midrange drivers, remember?) [/quote]
Hi, Jonathan....

Yesterday a local hi-fi guy invited me to listen his new speaker. He picked up Altec Model 19 - I am known not to be a big fun of those speakers but they have own sound in the scale of non-demanding, off-the-shelf monitors. Upon expecting the speaker...

If there is any info in this or another post about why the S2 is so much better than the Altec 288c please direct me. If not what makes the S2 drivers so different than a 288C? (I am talking about 288'cs that the 24 ohm diaphragms have been...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

say how much the old man is involved in all this cult and noise around him? I've also read all the poetic stuff on the site and can't say that this mystical aproach is not appealing. I had the impression that Sakuma just entertains himself makin...

I do not think that you really can trust an answer from someone willing to tell you what to do. Sure, the Klughorn is a great thing, but I have never heard it suitable integrated - which says NOTHING about the horn and driver but a lot about those us...

Audiofilofine, if you do not mind then can you name you posts more identifiably and not with the same name? On the subject: I do not think that drawing shall be important to you. If you build as you say 20Hz horn then the design of the horn will be ...
