  well - maybe/kinda - Tom Danley has an explanation in whitepaper for you to compare here - performance looks better than some larger commercial pipehorn including my Yorkville (?)

  Jensen might have almost stumbled upon one but missed the boat by 53 or so years.

  btw - wonder if Linas' 15 with Lowrider was really a tapped-horn variant - or hit upon improved BP? - wasn't much "path"

  Jensen non-flaring design "Transflex" ~ 1951

    I think if you would stretch it to 88" and mount the woofer up close to the fist step, you would come close to the DTS-20.

        Hello Freddy,

        The dimensions are: 15" x 15" x 67"

        It is indeed loaded with the Ciare 12.00SW for proper powerhandling and x-max.

        It goes very low (flat to 30Hz) and has good efficiency (about 94-96dB). I have to say the Punisher horn offers greater bass quality. I think this is due to the closed back chamber of the Punisher. But I don't think the Ciare 12.00SW driver is optimal for a tapped horn, it playes flat in a normal rearloaded horn without needing a tap. I think a driver which is more peaky in a rearloaded horn will give better results.

        Best regards,

        Walt

          Hi Walt - wonder what parameters would be even better than ciare 12.00 sw wor this particualr design? -- (I realize you had the Ciare driver laying around for experiment) Best, Freddy
