Thanks - I have caught the 3d printing bug and I have recently got a larger printer so that I can make it easily a single 330 horn 20mm thick in six parts all internally doweled . In fact I can gang print it and help keep the lay on adjacent joints identical

So, have you let slip that Wayne is going DIY horns?? :grinning:

Well the sawdust does appear to lead that way but that could be a false trail.
I have no inside knowledge. He’s a bloke with a wedge of cash and no speakers.
Pretty sure that he actually has a plan.

Iirc, @coco posted some pics of his twisted efforts a while back :smiley:

Think it was in the small tool thread - he was using a specialised tool for twisting wires.

I saw this stuff - I think you are right so ordered
we were planning a hint of orange in the room
cheers

The drill twisting thing does work well, and makes the cable much easier to handle. But yeah, there’s a lot to be said for just buying it - not least because twisting it will change the inductance, which may have unexpected results.

10w aleph was a bit buzzy on the new speakers so it now has a new off board power supply with chokes.

Buzz be gone.

Excellent. How many kg per watt now?

Not a clue, it’s still rather svelte compared to the typical @coco creation.

Very nice, is that a flash version of what you did to my mono Aleph5s?
