Fractal Synergy Horn setup?

Posted by bwaslo (M) on July 13, 2015 at 11:29:38

I was just sitting in my listening chair, thinking about corner horns and the like, and it suddenly occurred to me that the way I have things set up here is somewhat like a pair of Synergy horns-feeding-a-Synergy horn (see photo).

Because of limitations of available space (and inconvenient location of the furnace in my basement listening area), I have the speakers and seat arranged so that I sit facing into a corner. It actually works better than I would have thought.

I have a carpet hanging in the sharp apex of the corner to act as a bass-trap, but otherwise the two DIY-Synergy speakers are feeding into the corner's "horn" at "port locations" that are about 1/4 wave from the apex at 60Hz, near their crossover point to the subs. The subs (just barely visible at the lower bottom edge of the photo - I don't have a wide angle lens on the camera phone) are 1/4 wave from the apex at around 50Hz. Maybe I should move them to the other side of the speakers, closer to the apex?

So, other than the fact that I'm in effect sitting inside the conical horn of the corner, and the horn is firing into the relatively small closed box of my basement, this isn't too different from a Synergy horn arrangement at low frequencies. Kind of like a Synergy horn driving into the ports of a bigger Synergy horn.

Tom, you can tell me I'm crazy if you want to, now...
