From the graphs - Is the belle that much worse than the lascala in terms of bass response ? I thought they would have been pretty much the same in terms of low frequency response .

I was wondering if they work any lower with the faital drivers . Currently, i can get my HF144 (similar) to work as low as 600 / 650 Hz on my belle clones . The problem is somewhat of a response dip between 450 and 600 Hz so I'm on the lookout for suitable alternates without going full 3 way or large format horn/driver (which might be the way to go)

What crossover frequency did you use with HF146 and did you need to roll in a tweeter ? Thanks

Set your main speaker settings to small . Make sure the sub output is on in your receiver setup menu Boss probably refers to some sort of Bose satellite Speaker system .. where the sub taps off the main speaker level outputs

Run the auto setup (it should output test tones to all the speakers one by one ). If you are not sure that your sub is working, ..maybe jig up your phone / music player headphone output to the sub in (typically miniplug to RCA and output some test tones) If your sub is working but can't get your receiver to detect it, call yamaha.

both. 1. The cab would be taller (increasing the horn throat and mouth area proportionately ) but other dimensions would remain unchanged (including the horn length) 2. The motorboard would be taller (and require a larger cutout) - assuming larger drivers would fit. Still going back and forth but I will build one or the other . Doesn't seem hard to build and I stopped enjoying home theater ever since I "downgraded" to mid-efficiency speakers.

@mike stehr . Thanks for the info and the awesome diyaudio link . I actually have a pair of crites /K33 cast drivers somewhere around here, as well as kappa15c drivers, .. and as luck would have it , also a pair of the QSC waveguides mentioned in that thread LOL. That thread has me considering building the full size units

Hi, any thoughts on whether it makes sense to build the full height design intended for 15" drivers IF I intend to use 12" drivers ( I have some eminence kappa 12a woofer clones lying around ) From your thread on another site, I saw that you preferred 12" drivers in your cabs but your cabs are somewhere in between the 12 & 15" designs Thanks

I'm curious about how the cornwall's compare to your Dean's and which / why do you prefer ..? Thanks

Looks "ugly" though in comparison to LaScala etc ... and we all know that looks are everything Jokes apart, .. I agree with you 1. The bass mod is not an end-all except maybe to integrate to a subwoofer 2. Adding a horn sub to a la-scala or belle really enhances the overall experience.

Which award did they win?

TableTuba will work too

It helps, but not enough to make a subwoofer redundant, IMHO - regardless of what some other posts say.

Agreed + Opposed / Cone to Magnet or PPSL config I'm guessing that aesthetics / marketing / need to keep size / shipping costs as low as possible came into play Thanks

What's poor about the design (apart from being a DR)?
