hORNS universum videos

[christoph]

they are just in drawing now, concepts idea....
it might be happened a year for now if any...
let see...

Thank you very much
I REALLY hope he makes it modular.
Otherwise this behemoth would have the handling capabilities of a barn
At least the sub section should be separate

Hi Chris,

Apologies for coming to this late. Yes there are a couple of designs that they posted on mono and stereo. Will try to find the others.

Thanks a lot, Bill
Any of these sketches will be between 150 and 200 kg per side
So VERY impractical
Pity

I guess so if the main reflex bass carcass is made of mdf. I assume thought this is horns.pl attempt at their reference speaker and it almost goes with the territory to be ridiculously heavy. It is amazing how some manufacturers will tell you the weight of the new product in question in the very first sentence of their marketing blurb (regardless of whether it is dac, amp, speaker, sub, TT)

Bill, you should be impressed with Sean of Zu...he's shaved 20% off the weight of his spkrs with the new flagship line.

Even you are at your reference self now

Lol - true since lockdown beer consumption.

This video is very good indeed and doesn’t have the plastic colouration you can get with the ABS or fibreglass or composite horn.
The Universum really appears to be a very good speaker indeed - hopefully I will eventually get to hear this pair if lockdown 2 doesn’t go ahead as I predict. Leif’s nextel Autotech JMLC is another that sounds wonderful on the vids I have heard.

Best.

Scheherazade from byrdparis

That sounds stunning. Very clean, great timbre. I see two CH components... P1 & X1? Custom pre? I'll have to investigate these speakers...

EDIT: Having read more of the thread and seeing byrdparis' signature I now know that it was a CH C1.... love this system!

Thank you Floyd.
It’s actually P1 + C1 from CHP
I always think about adding the X1 with two boards for them, but keep getting more carts+tone arms instead
One day I’ll get it...

Hi Bill

Lukasz Lewandowski of hORNS advised me to order my Unis with the big mid horn in structured paint because it is supposed to sound better than the high gloss version.
On the tweeter horn, he says the other way around sounds better, i.e. high gloss for the tweeter horn.

Leif's mid horn is probably not nextel but rather the same structured paint my mid horn has.

After you already have so many excellent products from Poland (hORNS Universum mk4 and J.Sikora Standart Max + KV12vta), you should also give the Lampizator Pacific a serious listen

It's Nextel, which is a paint that roughens it else it can sound bright

Nextel is a coating with fibres, NOT a structured paint

Will check with Leif as he said Nextel paint iirc.

Use Iceland mud cover your horn. Crazy horn freaks.

Here you see the tar like compound the Goto guys cover their metal horns in - will dampen the resonance of the metal a lot.
