I’ve been harassing my horn-maker for quite a while with an idea to go for straight, no-cheating 45-50Hx horn. We discussed it countless times and sometime probably we would go for this, and particularly if I figure out how to resolve the delays prob...

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 ...

[quote user="zanon"]….what are your thoughts on these "escape" areas that essentially unseal the listening room? [/quote]
Zanon, I do not have general thoughts. I do not particularly believe in the generalization but rather in the specifics an...

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
In past when I played with SETs driving Aura 1...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

After I spend so much time in experiments with ports, I found some interestind aspects in port loading. Our primary objective is to eliminate the nasty air resonances in port at middle frequencies, which kill all the lower midrange sound. It is achie...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

A visitor of my site, a guy who never ask stupid question about audio, asked me a question how to find a correct size of the back chamber of a straight upper bass horn that he juts built. I wrote a reply but then realized that it would be worth to up...

Although all of it has no relation to digital crossovers but still:
[quote user="cv"] On a vaguely related note: I dunno if you realise this, but conventional (ie excluding horn or large area ESL) speaker systems, even if measuring flat amplitude, i...

Maybe you remember, even though I liked sealed enclosures I chose the ported bass boxes for my system. The reason was the TAD 1601b's in my situation. They just work and sound better with ported enclosures as they were designed to be used that way.Ma...

Hi Cat,The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. This kind of crosses over into some driver discussions so bear with me...My Tannoy 10" ...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers. To lo...

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

I stopped by on my way home at my local insulation shop to pick up my custom ordered, huge 28” half-pipe for my middle column. While I was there I saw something that made me horny. It looks like Knauf company last month changed technology and their c...

Ronnie,
The stuffing the back chamber in upper bass horn and stuffing a sealed enclosure have totally different purposes. In the firs case we need to decrease volume of the chamber in the second to increase it. The polyurethane foam spray is not foa...

OK, I have desired to build the thing. It is not the I really need it but I would need some kind MiniMe monitor and I really would like to see how bad it will turn out to sound the speaker that I invasion with this drivers of mine. After much vague c...

[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]However, I must say, I have a lot of trouble accepting the idea of redundant drivers. [/quote]
Yes, it dose not sound attractive to me but it is not the redundant drivers but one main driver and another at minus 9dB drive...

I have posted this idea at the Peter’s Vitavox site a few month back but there is no activity at that site. It sucks that there are no advanced S2 users out there. I am planning to try it myself and in a month or so and will report the result. ...

This stuff has been stuck in my mind for some time now, working around in there against my ongoing experience, against what I am now running. The goal is a more dynamic presentation with better spectral balance, with the emphasis on LF and [more] cor...

Yes, I bought a few jacks, they are not expensive, I can buy a lot of more. I put them under the floor, assuring that the floor does not “play” anymore but there is one big but in all of it. Those intellectual attacking of the floor’s mode have absol...

[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...

Rakesh, I moved your post to this thread as I feel it is more relevant here, I hope you do not mind. You ask yours the very same question that I ask myself. I do not have definitive answers to them:

I have been following your mid-bass horn project with a mixture of fascination and horror for a little while and am awed by the remarkable amount of creative thinking that has gone into it.
