Dear Romy,OK, some more about the midbass.Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than w...

I have been playing around with speakers for a long time, and things started snapping when I got into horns. I have a system right now with an upperbass horn from 140 hz turned form MDF up to around 700 hz, to another horn, and another and a super t...

Moron it is then...Anyways, seeing the back chamber of my midbass horn, you would say that its way to big, no? And you would recommend me to proceed with a similar tuning process as you describe in this link?http://audio-db.info/AudioDB/BazaPraktiki/...

Hi All,This is Ming Su and I am the US distributor for GOTO and J.C. Verdier. I thought that I will share with you about my new midbass horn. As you know by now, Jeffrey Jackson from http://experiencemusic.net/ help me on this project.&nb...

[quote user="msaudio"]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 realiz...

Well, it unquestionably much better, still I am afraid that they are trying to spread one ass across two chairs; I will talk about it in the end. The change from what was before was around the frame and upperbass horn. It looks like the guys are tryi...

Thinking further about my "Hanging" inverted Midbass J-horn presented above I asked myself: where is to cut this 12’-13’ horn hypothetic horn. Initially I thought to do it in order to keep the parts smaller to be able to fit them through the doors an...

[quote user="JLH"] Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers. [/quote]
This exactly what is the most fun in that system! Sometime people do not do the time alignment because it...

First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

Romy,You make very, very good points now I am re-evaluating this all-in-one horn concept. I do know one thing that I learned from my current system. Midbass horn that rolls off below 120 hz and integrated with sub is not good. I have struggled with t...

If you look that Jeffrey Jackson’s midbass horn then you can see two pillows stuck into the horns belly. Let presume that the pillows were placed there in purpose. So, here is homework for people who would like to flux their horny mussels: what is t...

I have just started thinking of something like this for midbass/ULF: floor firing one-eigth horn (TuneAudio Anima inspired) with the scanspeak array (in green) attached to the side.There is the obvious problem of time alignment, but I can see no wa...

[quote user="Antonio J"] INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. [/quote]

Say whatever you want but some of the vintage drivers has
it. Not all of them but some of them do and the question how to get it. I

I do not know the “USSR made 2A9”. My feeling is that all USSR-made driver were crap but who knows, might be three is something did exist in there. It is hard to presume that if the guy changed from dual GOTO SG146LD to basically direct radiators wit...

Thank, Manolis, it did address some concerns. I think I even know what you did with the MF driver. You were able to get 50Hz out of this looks like horn? This is impressive. The boundaries-loaded horns sometimes allow doing away with the horn siz...

I realized you meant Midbass when you wrote MD. I agree that letting the midbass horn run full range on the bottom is not a good idea. My point was try the bass channel (Aura 1808) run much higher and share the same crossover as the midbass when cros...

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

I asked Alex who got those tweeter from him and he said that it was Stavros Danos from Cyprus. So, it was the Greek guy that we have meet before on the pages of my site:

Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Sure, I’m very much done with Macondo and the late frame is the last straw that I load to this camel. It took 60-7 years come up with where Macondo is now and I do like how it turned out to be. In a week or so I will be done and I will post the pictu...

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...
