    AUDIO VIDEO SHOW WARSAW 2023 - THE ULTIMATE SHOW

    The DSP, if drove with our new version of the room ( see pics attached) is still my preference. But the tone alignment isn't that important. The phase needs to be correct and the phase is correct. The 15a is 118 cm closer to the listening position and therefore not only corrects the phase, but...

    AUDIO VIDEO SHOW WARSAW 2023 - THE ULTIMATE SHOW

    That's the new Masterpiece Series. A combination of the Hornsolutions 15A with an upgraded 666 driver. Tweeter is the brand new HT10 and the bass comes from the double Oktahorn. The Network 130/1400Hz, is built the old and traditional way, but without any compromise. 12dB slopes only realized...

    Giant Custom Horn Systems - How they sound and issues with sonics

    No problem, I just wanted to bring it back on topic. And who cares for the waf? There are no wrong horns, there are just wrong wifes. Life's too short for short speakers

    Giant Custom Horn Systems - How they sound and issues with sonics

    Boys and girls, maybe you should read the headline of the Thread again. What I see on the last two pages isn't matching with the description "giant", it's about tiny things. These are waveguides, not horns. Best Regards and have a nice weekend

    Giant Custom Horn Systems - How they sound and issues with sonics

    But probably worth a slightly different sound. Measurements are one thing, the sound is another thing. Comparing these two concepts is like comparing a Fiat 500 with an Koenigsegg

    For you horn guys: What kind of compression driver are you using for high frequencies? Why that choice (if you know...)

    The lowest possible THD2 and THD3, the strongest motor, extremly short x-max and a low cut off and a ultra linear response. These are the basics to get a perfect compression driver.
