Hi Tom,

First of all, I just want to say, that I (and probably many others) would really appreciate if you would make an 'all-out' Synergy horn dedicated for home use:-).

Whether it would be 30" or 36" wide would not keep me from being interested! However, I do think that it would be really nice, if the mid/high horn would work down to at least 200 Hz (preferably a little lower, just like the examples you suggest), since this would make it fairly easy to integrate with a bass bin (e.g. one 18" or two 15" woofers). If the bass bins have to reach above 300 Hz, it becomes more difficult in my opinion.

In my opinion, it does not need to have a 108 dB/1 watt sensitivity (althought it wouldn't hurt, of course). Anything > 100 dB/1 watt would in my opinion be truly great.

Please do make such a horn!

Best regards
Peter

Whether 175 or 140 Hz it's still going to be big regardless.

Might as well go for it.

A ppsl bass bin up to 130- 150Hz could be do-able and with a 140 Hz Synergy horn. With 140hz horn and a ppsl one could have a two unit system covering the whole range.... would it be using a active/dsp type crossover for the synergy?

Cheers

  The PPSL was the first thing that came to my mind when I read his post.
  
  500hz is such a common crossover point for horns. It would be interesting to hear a Synergy horn with a crossover of 500hz. I bet it would retain a great deal of it's point source sound.

  Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
