OH... I see. From lesser quality pictures it always looked like a 15" driver and a tweeter baked in there somehow.
That horn is quite shallow.

Hello, i have decided at least to try to learn something on horns
You say " That horn is quite shallow "
Is this a good design choice ?
what about the circular shape ? is it better than squared ?
I already know that many pro monitors manufacturers use waveguides that look quite similar to very shallow horns.
I listened to one and i liked very much what i heard.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,

"You say " That horn is quite shallow "

I wouldn't presume to question the designers choice here, especially since I have never (directly anyway) heard them. Those horns are unique... is all I'm trying to say.
If they sound good to you and better than anything else, then you have already learnt everything there is to "learn".
I suppose my only reservations regarding these speakers, on paper anyway, would be the efficiency. I'm currently at 100db and am looking to bump that up... which is not easy without going "large".
Hi,
yes i have space constraints.
These ones look still acceptable in size for a small to medium listening room.
I understand that other speakers can provide same or maybe even higher quality with superior efficiency.
Kind regards,

The lower the horn covers, the better it will sound.
The DDS makes for a compact design, something like that may be for you.
Maybe a project from forum member Les Hudson? Horn-loaded to 300hz, push pull slot-loaded 8's on the bottom.
Hello, yes i am thinking to something similar to the ones depicted
But with the other horn and a compression tweeter .. 2 ways ...
I would place the compression driver over the bass box on a support so that the horn could be aligned with the front baffle of the bass box.
It is a medium term project.
A friend could provide the drivers and help for the bass box design and construction.
I am looking only for decent performance.
Anyway i am more and more convinced that HE is the way to go.
Conventional speakers have no chance against a good HE loudspeaker.
Also because a speaker must be loud ... that is why is called that way.
Joke aside is the reproducible dynamic range that counts. I guess.
Thanks again for the very valuable help and advice.
Kind regards,
