Get yourself down to That London over the bank holiday weekend if you want to see some proper DIY horn loaded sound systems with fairly individual approaches to design.

They were in Cyprus. 6 Moons wrote them up about 10 years ago. Some very nice drivers but the implementation (and integration) was allegedly something of a dog’s breakfast.

" After 14 years of work, our book “High-Quality Horn Loudspeaker Systems” is finally going to print as of today. Bjørn Kolbrek and I are both a bit exhausted after the past months of getting all the final details overseen.The final page count comes to 1070 pages."
“The history part is also a “primer” for the theory part (about 400 pages) which progressively gets more demanding as it covers advances in the theory over a century up to the present. Finally the 200 or so last pages are more practically oriented and cover systems, crossovers, horns, drivers, measurements etc.”

Looks good, any ETF’er grab a few copies?

This is actually an interesting new review of an old design.

I chatted with someone who heard them and it was a bit of an expensive failure unfortunately, quite a few industry experts tried to sort them bit couldn’t.

I’ve heard older samples a few times now & like the idea but the bass horn folding always seems to have caused ‘constipation’ at certain frequencies and the mid driver & horn have been a bit untidy sounding. I was hoping this latest version might have successfully addressed some of that.

I still wonder whether a workable 2 way could be put together with something like these doing the LF

and then a larger mid horn LeCleach combined with a wide ranging driver (maybe that new Celestion)

It’s interesting that the new Klipsch horns are 3-way - I thought that they were usually 2-way. I’ve always liked the immediacy and dynamics but found them a bit too coloured for my taste.

1119

I don’t recall any two way speakers in the heritage range.

That’s because there aren’t any. No new designs either unless it’s the rehash of the Forte that is being referred to.

I’ve always fancied a single corner horn for the living room. Nice mono setup.

You’ve come to the right place - @coco, mono-horn him :slightly_smiling_face:

Prefer the originals of course but these look nice for bluetooth speakers.
