I use comps to 1000hz. After front horn loaded dual 12in cone drivers to 70hz. Then bass horns or 31.5in fostex.Seems to be a quit impressive system. Any pics ?
I also have many other loudspeaker designs about. I do know its hard to sit close to the large horn rigs unless designed for such.How would large horns for near field listening be designed then ?
Also that non horn designs can sound wonderful. And I use both. Some of larger horn systems sounded very real but after a hour or so they kind of fatigued ones ear. I at the moment am enjoying a raal ribbon seas x-2 combo sim too pic.
I would love to hear the RAAL's, specially in combination with my new speaker.
But also my front horn system. All I can suggest is that maybe your mid horns too large, drivers covering too much range.
The S2 covers from 1000hz all the way up. That was what i thought : maiby cross it lower, lets say ~ 5-6khz ?
Thus tweeters too far from mid horn, thus both too far from mid bass horn, than you more distance needed to integrate. I havent had much luck running comp drivers lower than 800hz. They seem to get shouty and integration problems due to horn size also prop up. YMMV
I tried also to cross the S2 at 500hz, but the whole system sounded somehow unbalanced.
