RE: Open Baffle/Frugal Horn










Thanks mor, sorry about that. Thanks for your interest! My room is approx 20 * 25. It's comprised of carpeting, drywall and a drop ceiling (absorbant paneling). I have done some amateur, DIY acoustic treatment. I have absorbant paneling for the rear and adjascent walls. I also have 6 DIY bass traps, 4 for the corners and 2 at the middle of the long walls.

It doubles as a jam room, play room and audio room. I have tried to picture this for you. I have taken each half of the room and a view from my listening seat. I have 2 seperate power lines running directly from my box. One for digital and one for analog.

I am a bass player and amateur musician. I have a keen ear and plan to keep it that way so lower volumes is where I tend to listen. Also, I have a young family, 3 year and 6 mo. old so someone is always napping, including me! LOL.

I am a rock and jazz type, however, everything else short of country and classical is in the mix. Lately, I can't get enough of Herbie Hancock. I am also a devoted analog-head. My TT spins daily and for this system I am building, it will be vinyl only. I have a dedicated power line direct from my box for this also. No digital at all!!

These are some of the choices I have had on the table:

Klipsch RB-61, new
Klipsch LaScala, used $400
Klipsch Heresy 1, 4 ohm, used $200
Tekton model 6.5, new
Tekton Open Baffle, new
DIY frugal horn, Metronome design
DIY Open baffle, several design considerations

Budget for new speakers can't be more than $800 CDN funds, all in.
