Jamie, your avid interest in my horn designs kinda makes my day. It's not often that I see someone who craves a horn's response the way I do.
The spiral bass horn is pretty exotic, and as mentioned on my website, a bit much for most audiophiles. Still, it was enjoyable to share my adventure.
I haven't fabricated the 60 hz crescent horn, but I've never been let down by Hornresp. If it says the horn will perform, then I'm certain it will.
I notice you've posted several times, recently. I've been too busy to reply. Sorry about that.

Hey Jamie,
What would be great is if you'd share your progress with this project. I'd love to see how you overcome the various challenges. I'd especially like to read your impressions of this horn upon completion.
To bad we're not neighbors! :)
"To bad we're not neighbors! :)"
LOL. I'm sure I could tote things for you, and fetch boards that are at the bottom of the lumber pile. :) I bet your neighbors can hear your stereo at night. "Are the Inlows having another party?" I live in the country, so no such worries. ;)

Let's see. Nothing has been decided about the driver enclosure, and whether anullment is going to be used. See how quick it took to get in deep water. Too deep for me.
I'm more of a flat-pack kind of guy. With predrilled pilot holes please. You should maybe look into some kind of hybrid flat pack. Have the big stuff cut local, but you provide the smaller complicated bits. Just throwing that out there.
If you are willing to answer a couple of questions about the low pass of a mid/bass horn, then I would be happy to give you some free unsolicited advise on your Paper Tractrix horns.
To wit; Which do you prefer? Running a lowpass filter on a M/B horn, or running it's driver to it's resonant frequecny, or neither, and why?
Regards,
Jamie
Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

Count me in! I'll take one of those kits.
No problem.
One other reason I like the Crescent horn; It means you can get horn super efficiency without needing a $10K bass compression driver. Thanks John! I owe you one.
