And now, going back to page 2 of this thread; here we pick up with some shots of the upper bass horn and the associated primitive "tooling"Mold without coreMold with core. Before core is put in place, mold is loaded with a thick coat o...

We have two models with different upper bass horns, one is indeed a 140hz horn (77 cm diameter) and the original, bigger horn at 110 hz (92 cm diameter) Both tactrix both made from the same materials (MDF) and finished in the same automotive finish.T...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The brickish finish does not make me cringe, in fact I do like the idea. I do not feel that it would be some kind of non-truths. There is no truths or non-truths in it. The only a few first feet of the horn will be visi...

You need to decide what length of the horn you can afford. When I mean “afford” I ment the position of the horn in context of the rest of your system. You know the lowest cut off - 40Hz. So, the most suitable for you length and the mouth size will gi...

I stopped by today in a local warehouse and picketed a 4x 16” fiber pipes and 2 two 20”. I absolutely love the effect. As soon I brought the tubes to the room and took the cover off in the hall room turned to be much quieter at HF. I did not expect t...

Again, none of the pneumatic methods would work as any pneumatic leak air with time and it will be no access to it after the horns are installed and the walls are finished. Not mention that we have no high to play wit. We will be doing the follo...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Congratulations on the construction and installation of your horns. May your pleasure at the results reward your effort and expense. I find their installed appearance even more geometrically striking than anticipated and I su...

The top 3 are to scale model of the throat, mouth and length you posted above without the horn profile.the bottom image is the equivalent flat pattern.If you were to cut the pattern out of material and sow the sides together, add a ci...

Speaking about the interesting surface finish. I have seen a
new stimulating idea that I call the Scratched Horn. I do not know how much

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...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I've been listening for about one week now with the filters set so the hand off from lower-mid to upper-mid happens higher up (upper-mid S2 is high-passed at 4800Hz instead of 3200Hz), meaning the small 400Hz horn is doing...

As I said I do not truly have any audio Christmas List. If I move I will build my midbass horn but with all honesty if I move and will not go for midbass horn then it will be little difference. With my current understanding of sounds I am very co...

Kodomo, what is your ear height when you are sitting in your listening chair? I guess it is less than 120cm. Perhaps when you finish setting up the horns and remove the wheels effectively lowering them you may be in the position of lowering the twee...

de Charlus, I still do not think that there is such a thing as “ the only a theoretical starting point”. Perhaps you were inspired by Jeffrey’s recommendation that has more experience in it then you. Still, the compression drivers loaded into giv...

op.9,
to put your comment I perspective it is necessary to know what surface you had on your Lecleach horns before. If you search the site (use world textured or structured) then you would know that I am a vocal opponent of smooth surfaces on horns....

Ronnie,
Very nice, though I do not know where you would like me to move the thread. (It looks like it’s OK where it is). There are some comments that I might to pass.
You decided to go for a large MF driver. This is fine if you like it but I ...
