In Reply to: RE: Who has experience with the C34 back loaded horn? I am considering building a pair. posted by Retsel on October 03, 2020 at 07:07:00
Hi, Retsel
The mid bass horns were built to play that critical 80hz.to 450hz. Building a bass horn would be gigantic, to play down to say 30hz. Since most normal folks don't have a very large room (like me) a compromise was made. In MY room these mid bass horns measure down to 60hz., so the dual 18" subwoofers are crossed at 60hz. and rolled off at 48db per octave and go down to 12Hz. This is the great thing about the Crown I-Tech 5000Hd amps, built in DSP, crossovers, etc. plus strapped to monoblocks put out over 3k watts per sub. There is absolutely no stress on any drives in this system and the reason for the ultra clarity, dynamics, and uncompromised bass power.

Hey Joe, I saw your audio system on You Tube and was very impressed! I would like to hear it but I discovered that you live far away from me so it will likely never happen....
How far away from your horns do you sit? I found that my setup does not sound good unless if I am sitting at least 13 feet away from them (13 feet from the drivers, not the horn mouths).

Hi, Retsel
I sit 17' from the drivers although the still sound great at 13'--almost like giant headphones at the closer distance.
