Foam plug in tweeter horn works great!

Bastanis DIY Forum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share you ideas and experiences.

I tried putting a foam plug in the horn of the Gemini like Earl Geddes does in his waveguide and it sounds great.

Someone on another forum suggested buying small pieces from a pet store that sell replacement filters for aquariums. Earl uses a density referred to as 30 ppi. I easily found some for $4 and cut out two cylindrical plugs to just fit inside the horn.

I enjoyed the presentation of my Prometheus much better this way.

I just can't believe the patent office actually gave him a patent on what to me anyways seems like a generic idea, but so be it and we are all better off for being able to DIY it. For those not familiar with it, the theory relates to bouncing waves in the walls of the horn called HOM's.
