Thanks for the thoughts,I was just on the phone with a guy who sells prototyping materials; we discussed the idea I had this weekend... His opinion is that it should work. If so, it will really make the process much quicker.Romy wrote :"......

[quote user="rdrysdale"] I mean that with a horn loaded compression driver, a strong motor, and a very light diaphragm, the attack and transients are more life like. Because the diaphragm can more precisely follow the recorded signal, the reproductio...

Ok, I did try the 4th order filter and it did not sound as I wanted. The 3rd order is right slope foe my room but I need to go for custom filters separately dedicated for right and left channels. The problem is my right channel with the att...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming you go ahead with the mid-bass horn project: If you decide to run the woofer towers along with the mid-bass horns, it is logical to assume they'll produce much of the range produced by these new horns. [/quot...

I would like to share that wonderful experience I had 2 nights back when I spent the whole night to juts to listening my midbass horns. I did not do it for two year or so and to hear juts the midbass back as I did it during the post-contraction was v...

Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expression of “ultimate way of life...

Thanks, Ric. At this point “specificity” of the sings positioning is not my primary interest but I rather am looking into strategic and conceptual solutions. For instance the Jessie’s idea to use attic and ceiling for midbass entry is very lucrati...

Hi Romy,Got my new Le Cleach tractrix horns (320hz) for the Vitavox S2's. I'm x-ing over at 600hz with 2nd order 12db/Octave which I know is barbaric for you but it is all I have for the moment. With the new horns the S2s are puttin...

This is left channel. Right channel is mirror image.I am using 6db active crossovers all around.The subs are pair of 18" Aurasound 1808 per side. The current midbass is the white color horn you see. It is Funktion One DS15. The issue with this one i...

I know that I am bit koo-koo but it is what it is. The point is that for the last few days my life is fully spinning around my midbass horn project. I have a believe that a fate of man (in country to woman) is to conceive veracity and to harvest a m...

I was thinking about a space-economical way to arm playback with midbass 50Hz horn. It is not that I am into it myself but conceptually I was wondering how to put all of necessarily things within a minimum compromise in minimum footprint. I came up w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

[quote user="rowuk"]I often wonder who REALLY
needs real high end? Maybe this is the wrong description. [/quote]
That is a reasonable question. However, it is not question that
aligned with the thread. I do not think that people need high-end au...

I think that I extended too much credit to them. They were saying
about different midbass and bass horns and I was under impression that they do
not let their yellow driver back loaded horn to run all the way down. To use
Foxtex with no high pass ...

I meant to have this post as a separate thread in the “Playback Listing section “– the “load” of it is well-deserve it but then I decided that it would be too easy for the readers of my site. The subject of this post is well related to results of...

hello again Romy, cats, friends...
I built this horn for Ming Su, the Goto USA importer... I have posted on your site before about midbass and bass horns... I listen to eight foot straight 45 Hz horns... and as partial payment on this commission ...

This is normal, I have written about it many times. Those large bass drivers have a lot...

KlausMartin (Azura horn ) is making for me extension to 2.75" (BC 8p21)and 1.4" for 204 Hz (altec 288c) .He also developed 550 hz horn for S2 . He understands importance of smooth driver -throat transition . It would be ready to go solution for...

Fist off, hello to everyone. This is my first post here.I have a DJ/listening system in my basement. Mostly, self made. Some pictures:http://picasaweb.google.com/noviygera/BasementSystem#Just recently i installed new Funktion-One RES1.5HS horns. Pict...

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....

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....

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...

that since you already introduced sort of symetry with fundamental channel (covering much of midbass band)and it seems that you prefer simmetrical configurations (MTM)maybe you plan to go step further and add another 400Hz mid horn with S2. Just...

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...

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”...
