Hi Mats,I am not using 4 on each side. I will be using two on each side. Until now I always liked sealed enclosures. However Tad drivers are more suited to ported configurations. If you do not push them to go too low and have a reasonable fs point, t...

[quote user="Kcct82"]I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

I think they could could make the sound more pleasant with an overkill of second harmonic distortion. But for people who prefer that kind of sound a relax-horn like Anima would be better anyway. No real solution. Maybe they should try the Radian alum...

.... available bass horns are the same to me and I customary discard them. I also care less about the price: I am talking about an interesting horn design but not about an interesting product to buy. The beryllium cones - yes I do not like them in TA...

That is the thing exactly, my upperbass solution has the same output amplitude as the compression drivers I am using, IMHO resistrors are the devil in xovers, they kill all sound. Now the difference between 109 db and 110 db can be overcome with c...

Hi Romy, 'tis been awhile, but my friend Neil alerted me to this discussion, and thought I might contribute to it. While this segment of my TAD 'Whitepaper' deals with only the bugscreen, there are many other …" evolved results…" that, to my ear, and...

I am not impressed with that Hornfabrik and I do not see
what they do “right”. The video is expectedly stupid, with the “journalist” do
not know what they are asking and what they hear in response. For instance the small speaker they claim to have ...

user="jackydai"]My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent
right from the entrance of phase plugs. In this sense, not even Bruce and Sam
did it right, I’m afraid to say. In many cases the driver and the horn are

I recently made some highly attractive changes with the way in which I use S2. Now, since the S2’ top got cleaned up the universal misery of universe bothers me tremendously. :-)
Really, the S2 runs in my 400Hz horn up to 12.5kHz and the S2’s 12.5kH...

jd, I cannot see any of PDF files, probably my current networks kills them.
I do not know the AK150 drivers. I know AK157, AK151 and K15/40. If they have significantly lower free-air resonance, at 30-35Hz then I am not sure that they would be ...

Hey Romy,
Goto makes 12" and 15" woofers at 100db. I recently found out they make a small two way system using an 8" woofer. The 8 incher's range is 55hz-8000hz so I'm thinking it might be a good candidate for use with 60Hz h...

Thanks, Be, for a correction but the fun part is no one acknowledged your blander. The Goto drivers I think are exotic terra incognito for most people and I think it is how Goto Company is willing to keep it. No one talk about nuts and bolt of Goto c...

I've been having love/hate relationship with Lowther (and its siblings) for several years now. As you all say, it has many problems to use as a full-ranger. Right now, my set up is a 3way multi-amp, Lowther (Reps 1) in Medallion cabi...
