[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, it was not “allergy” but already, the benefit of the automated check speller but it is not the point. It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help pe...

Hello Romy,
I understand the difference between the kind of "basshorn" pictured here and the proper compression-horn that you use. It is true that many DIY-types like to make basshorns in their garage without much thought to technical consideratio...

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...

First let me say I am NOT trying to promote the Synergy horn. I just think it is very intresting to look at and to think about.Ideal loading only occurs at a singular frequency within any horn. This ideal loading point is where the length is 1/2 a wa...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

There was yesterday somebody at the Audio Asylum sewers, asked about possibility of building a multi-way horn installation but he did not want to cut own horns. I posted a reply that the AA dirt of course was vandalized. I intended it to and replay p...

[quote user="hagtech"]Perhaps the book falls under the "theory of irrelativity". I thought maybe there could be a useful tidbit inside. One good thing about blogs - people may not agree with you - but at least you can safely post an opini...

[quote user="Paul S"] I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is overwhelmed by compression drivers. I tried the A7s way back when they were current and everyone's favorite, and I tried various modifications with like-minded friends; b...

TH,this is very much NOT a DIY site. It is however probably the most complete collection of „SOUND as it is related to horns“ articles.I suggest that you check out things here first before asking „the wrong“ questions. The horn systems that you show ...

[quote user="de charlus"]Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far fro...

Well, since this thread is about the BMS drivers then what can I say? When I tried the BMS driver I felt that their “absolute tone” ability was at the level of demands of school auditoriums. Read more about “absolute tone” at:

Antonio,
Bruce Edgar sells an excellent all front-loading horn system, the Titan, which works well in small rooms. He will sell you unfinished horns, and you can find/buy the drivers yourself if you are a DIY guy, or on a budget. Considering the...

The only reason I don't have a giant WE system is that I can't afford it and I don't have room. I sold all of my WE and Lansing field coil gear to my Silbatone friend back in 1989, because I know he would never sell it, he was putting together a ser...
