Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

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...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
building a ver...

Hi Roman et al!Allow me to introduce myself. I have followed with amusement Romy the Cat for many years. He is ascerbic and ultracritical, but he does know audio. We share many tastes, like the Koetsu Onyx Platinum foir instance, on...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

Paragon, what is your problem?
In this thread I do not see anybody advocate any specific ways and no one set any “new path for others to follow”. If you spend time reading this site (and if you are an “avid believer of horn speakers throughou...

Nine years ago, when I posted the initial post in this
thread the Aries Cerat was a different company with different products.
As I understand in 2014 they changed a lot and today they have a speaker that I
would like to talk a little: Aries Cera...

So, the first DSET is still downstairs on the electronics bench and I am back to work for a while, but not too hard and not for too long (I hope). I've added all the filters and checked and tested and changed some more things and decided that it was...

We, horn people, when we see as some kind of horn outsider begin to spill his foolishness about the horns inhalations, we always feel that out territory was violated by a primitive brain who listen a box loudspeaker. The Absolute Sound, in its ...

Hi Romy,I've been reading GSC for some time, because I hope to find and learn some different audio perspectives. Untill now I never posted anything because of my total ignorance about horn speakers. But i've heard some wilson audio's a couple of time...

It is wonderful how these forums work and how it's members provide the feedback and comments from their experiences and expertise.I am 90% convinced that the DEQX will not provide the magic spatial sound that I am looking for with the Edgarhorns....

[quote user="HookEm"]I've heard so much about these legendary SET mono-blocks; but as I understand it, it's VERY important to match them up with proper (efficient) speakers.Anyway, I'd welcome some feedback on matching these amps with Lamhorn 1.8's +...

Thanks for your comments, Roman.You're someway right... Goto foolishness;-))) maybe... also Mingsu wrote he "never" saw such a (Keith's - or mine) way to use S-150 mid-low horn... everyone's - me too, also with some doubt - copycatting each othe...

I've been at Munich High End Show, too.Listened to the Cessaro Horn, too, and last year- 2008- I was in that room for longer time...But honestly, based on the money you had to pay for the whole System (Raven, TW electronics, last year it was an expen...

Do you have the speakers as pictured already in place, or at least in the form your beautiful rendering shows? I would recommend to try a mock up of this layout in your room and not proceed with the full custom build. For example, I don't think the a...

Q: What happens if Dick Cheney decided to buy loudspeakers?A: The US Force attacks Arctic Poll, US Congress declares South California as “axis of evil”, Halliburton order from Haliaetus HA-325 speakers with 5400% mark up and re-brand them into “Horn-...

.... the Haliaetus people did not even back-loaded their driver. If it was a horn loading then I might criticize the horn profile that they selected (and I do have quite a few arguments). However, those speakers are not horn loaded at all. They ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integ...

Hi drdna, Three things that I have found that can seriously damage the performance of our horn system is: Speaker location, heavy gage or multi stranded speaker wire, and room reflections. When you locate the speakers, m...

Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that the tweeter was wire...

Hello, thank you for your answer, I already read this very interesting link (this how I knew about this forum (like "yes ! there is weird people too"))I never saw too much parellele things too (excepte for solid states); I hope nothing is wrong doing...

I'm quite busy over the weekend but I can do measurements of the SG-16 tweeter next week. I need to make adapters first but I want to measure the 370 on a Le Cléa'ch Iwata horn and I can compare that to a Yoshimura 3500G driver on the same horn. Ther...

If you put your speakers in the back extra bedroom, you could have your cake and eat it 2. You will have a normal living room and your headphones sound that you love from small room will be back and better then ever and it don't cost anything except ...

Hi Romy,thanks for your message. I wasn´t aware that Japan made so many different horn speakers back in the days. Looks like they knew what they did...I like these horns a lot :) They are by far not that involving and musical like my Tannoy Monitor G...

I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you use klipschorn, you ca...

[quote user="ShuffleSk8Ter"] one of the main serious issues horn speakers ANY TYPE ....horn loaded will have right off the bat its own distortion! why?... because the horn is an amplifying device and in my way of hearing is very audible distortion!...

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...

When I was a teenager in the 80's and The Absolute Sound was my favorite hifi magazine, I always thought the Japanese were crazy because they did not believe in an "absolute" sound but were trying to create their "own sound".They also seemed craz...
