"The Cornwalls impressed me"
This thread is all from the perspective of front loaded horn bass. I propose there is nothing else like it. Brian I hope you get a chance to hear it someday.

I have heard quite a number over the years. I was addressing the matter related to starring with a Klipsch vs going to a different brand of doing straight to diy. Klipsch presents a good entry level to the design and for whatever reason Paul left a lot of room for improving them. It might have been he decided a design to meet a specification should be a minimal to keep the price point low but allow improvements to whatever level of sound vs cost one wants. Other companies took this approach such as Bozak where you could order the Concert Grand cabinet with the component load of the 302a and then over time add drivers until you got the mix that sounded best or the cabinet was fully loaded. This would not be practical for a horn system so, It may be Paul took another approach to achieve the same result.
A good bass bin has the same practical limitation as the full range e'stat. It takes space for get low and I have only lived in a few places that could accommodate a system larger than the Bozak Symphony or 4 pair of KLH Nines.

Hi gang ... Lots of reading ahead on this long thread. Learning a lot. Wasn't sure where to post this (mod?), but this seemed as good as any. I'm currently making an unfinished copy of the LaScala bins as a retirement hobby.
Also working on a unique version of the Cornwalls. It duplicates Paul's original volume and porting. PM me with questions.Zene

Hi Zene,
Love your bins! The braces help for sure.
John Inlow of Inlow sound is in Portland Oregon. That's pretty close to you all things considered. I think he sells his plans for like $25. You should build a pair of his straight mid/bass horns, if you haven't already.
Keep up the great work!

Zene...those look really nice and solid, I never liked the
vibrating sides of the PWK version. You're a true craftsman,
can't wait to see pics of the Jensen BLH!.

how much?

I agree. It's how I got started in horns, and I still use them. What does that tell you? I am using my LS bins right this second.
For a long time (50 years) the folded W was state of the art. In the past five years I think it has been surpassed sonicaly. By straight m/b horns and maybe even PPSL. I want to see how djk's mod of flaring the slot works out.
Still if you want a m/b horn that fits into a space, 24"x24"24", then the LS is still the only game in town. Even after all these years. Okay, Bruce Edgar has a curved m/b horn too that goes to 400hz.
