The one side of the triangular horn will be flat and will sit at le...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The view is from the mouth of the right horn.[/quote]Here is the way how the horn will be mounted between the top and bottom beams and along with rafters. What is very kinky in here is that the curved space between two roo...

I have built quite a few bass horns and found any thing over 1/2 inch ply wood reinforced is all you need, in front of your baffle. If you had ever built a few on your own and had the right equipment to test you would realize this, but when your a ha...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

Since I started this thread I have received a number of emails from people bitching that I do not like this, criticize that and that they can’t figure out what I do like. I reply to them invariably – “Do not read my site as you are too much a Mor...

Battling horn criticism is the very same thing that battling audio superficiality, lack of serious criteria about audio and ignorance aboutthe phisics and geometry involved. The really annoying thing is that audioworld was ,in his early developement...

This is a good example of a CNC horn. This is the Carfrae I was talking about. MDF Upperbass horns are made in sort of the same way, but you do have to cut the angles on the Lathe. (or leave the steps like a The thing is it is not really tridimensi...

The stereo lab store prices seem very reasonable, considering the cost and work of molds making, shipping is something else altogether, another factor yet, but my question always comes back to the tractrix curve, there is always a loss ...

"I may be wrong to continue here with M4 ideas, Romy, feel free to move this where you want, thanks".
In my very audio eccentric strange mind, there is two concepts for M4 that pop to the surface, and that merit some explorations. Se...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

Guest napping now from 16 hrs jet lag, so I have a moment...Jorge, you raise an interesting point about THs. I may be incorrect in assuming THs sound worse as they play higher in freq. Perhaps instead the limitation is one of narrow bandwidth rathe...

@Mats -- Thank you! This has already been the best sounding system I have built and designed, but hearing how good it sounds, lets me know how good it can be in the future. Thank you for the info on the JBL 2482. I've considered swapping the diaphrag...

This is called a macro photography rail. It is a very precise tool. You have 1 mm units on it. The ones I have found cost around 70usd each which is good. Seller says it is sturdy enough and can handle weight. It can not handle the weight of the horn...

Murat,
I am not qualified to talk credibly
about Tapped Horns. I know that they get a lot of traction now around audio
people but I am, without listening a good example of it, am not so warm to the Tapped

I would like to share my 5-way horn project.
