The sound:scratch2:
My goal was to make a horn witch would go down to 35Hz. From the measurements I see the horn will reach 45Hz -3dB. It is very good but not good enough I like sub bass. And the push of the low end and clean sound what only a horn can.
This horn has the dynamics and sound surprisingly warm, it even has some colour ration to the warm side. That I would call that this horn has it own signature it is not neutral.
The sound stage is appears huge. The depth of sound stage is amazing and so is its efficiency.
My neighbour complaint that she doesn't like that even the walls are vibrating when I listen music. :thmbsp
it works) I used this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXD6Gtinvbc&feature=relatedThe power of the base gave me goose skin.
That was the weekend I got the filter sounding good and wanted to hear what it sound like with some higher power. I used my 50W Vfet amp. The output was about 120dB I estimate.
My living room is now the problem because the backloaded horn needs some space to mix the output of the horn with the direct radiation of the cone. I hear to that in my listening distance the sound waves aren't good mixed yet I have to move further away of the speaker.
What is also very good that the high frequency are fine and detailed with out being aggressive. It is even better than a soft dome in my perception.
All to gether not enough sub base but good dynamic warm sound with push in it. Huge deep soundstage also a horn achievement and good efficiency about 102dB/1Wmtr.
because it was a bit to much for my livingroom.
