[quote user="ayebee"] The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance ….Present system consi...

Well, I screw-in today the S2 with filed-coil into my horn. I decided to drive it with 2.4A. I used a regulated DC PS and did not employ my prepared for this tusk 4.2 Farad capacitor: the voltage is too high for my cap. The current gave me a ni...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

Hi Klaus,
Spec sheet on the bass driver you plan to use here: http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/downloads/515_G.pdf Just to be clear, mid bass to me means from 60Hz - 240Hz.

Thanks Romy and Paul for your comments.

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The biggest problem that usually people face when they listen the middbas horn is that people tend to make the middbas horns too short. In the short horn the driver shot right through the horn and the LF go not “get loaded”...

Unfortunately its $1000,- total... Its not fixed, i can still do alot with that though.Alnico is better but only available in vintage drivers right? How does neodymium compare?The Jbl's seem to fall off fairly quickly. I dont need flat to 20K b...

What I like: The fact that they are doing this. The upper part of these speakers is truly beautiful, both in composition and in workmanship, which is on the level of fine jewelry. Sonic attributes aside, visually that Pinocchio tweeter horn i...

Tax, do not go over yourself with “building paranoia”, looking for drivers, horns, boxes and etc. If you are looking for 80Hz to 200Hz range (you will need higher upper knee for AG Dou) then you do not need a bass driver with Resonance frequency of 3...

Yes, when I move the drivers or for that matter if I move my listening position, I realign.What I hear and measure about the drivers relative distances to each other is this. When I first set up the drivers, one horn ended and the next one started, t...

Hi Jorge, Thank you for the response. Re: cable, yes I've been too lazy to install binding posts in the back of the cabinet. I have no good reason, necessarily why I am crossing the 250 Hz horn at 1k. I posted my measurement above, but of course this...

Why the need to cross the S3 so low? Crossing below 500Hz on a 260 horn seems to be pushing the limits a bit. What kind of upper bass solution are you planning?

user="anthony"] I have noticed that there are several commercial horn

they do it i...

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...
