I wonder how a JBL 2384 would work? https://reconingspeakers.com/product/jbl-365359-001-2384-hornwaveguide-3732/
-
Did this real quick and thought someone else might want it - just changed the metric to American (fractional inches);

Just wondering where you (and the amps of course) are located?

I wonder if either of these different Schiit products - the sys: https://www.schiit.com/products/sys (used in reverse - so outputs to inputs and vice versa) or the other option is possibly the saga-2: https://www.schiit.com/products/saga-2. It has a remote as well to switch outputs. For the tone controls mentioned above - I have always wanted to get one of these from Schiit - the Loki - which just adds tone controls.
Just a shot in the dark. Either one of your amps though I bet are winners.

Pierre Gasly France : Winner
McLaren Klipsch 2 and 4 (at the foot of the podium)
Congrats. Very happy for Gasly and his fans. That race was actually exciting without the Mercedes up front.

Where did Klipsch car place?
Second. He needed one more lap.

Gasly Winner YEAHHHHHHH !!!
Sainz 2
What a finish! - thought the DRS was going to help Sainz for a moment there. Gasly is freaking out over the radio - great moment for the Alpha Tauri team. Or for that matter any non-Mercedes team.

And now?
Gasly in first - but now almost within a second which could mean Sainz could get the DRS. Very close. Sainz now withing stricking distance - last lap!

Gasly 🤞
Sainz 👏
3 laps - the interval between them doesn't appear to be changing though - Gasly may do it!

Sainz is very strong: position 2, Yeahhhhh !
Will be interesting in 5-7 laps.

The McLaren's haven't won a race since 2012? Been a while. Maybe Gasly can keep it up and pull it off. 🤞 Can he hold Sainz off though?
-
wow what a restart - maybe Sainz will be able to get ahead of the three ahead of him. Or maybe Lando can do it - he's one of my family's favorites.

Sorry Change: Scroll was finally able to change his tires when the red flag race stopped: he left with new tires
😝
He got mediums, I think.

Well now it looks like Stroll will be able to get a pit stop? - so with Hamilton's penalty he will be in front. Crazy.

The Monza Formula 1 Grand Prix in Italy has been underway for 10 laps, the Hamilton Mercedes is in the lead, the McLarens (orange) with the sponsor Klipsch are in 2 and 3 position
👍
Now with Hamilton's penalty - maybe they can move up to first depending on the pits. Don't know if Stroll can get new tires during this red flag session, but if he is unable to then he and the others would have to pit when they go back to green flag racing. That would possibly allow the Mclarens to move up to the front.
-
I'll take them and give it a try. PM on the way.

Unfortunately the pics in the first half of the thread are missing but there are pics later on, that may help in piecing together how this technique works. I have been meaning to get around to trying to build the cloth clamps he describes and giving it a try.

I believe an EV Cobraflex horn was, for a short time, offered as a squawker in Khorns. What say you Jim @JRH?
I found this thread at one point in researching mods - lot of info on the cobraflex for la scalas? I found a pair online and they are still sitting in my basement unused. Maybe I should pull them out.

I just started looking into it yesterday. I feel like the rabbit hole is grabbing ahold here. I just wanted a good, solid DAC and was hoping to stand on others shoulders. A simple buy this and all your problems are solved. I must admit I'm still quite enamored with the Brooklyn DAC +. It has LOMC cartridge support. Seems like the perfect thing to replace a preamp, phono stage and switch between digital and vinyl. I'm guessing Raspberry PI running Ropiee would be a valid Roon endpoint, then Brooklyn DAC for switching, volume, vinyl.
I was in a very similar situation a while back, even using the oppo 203 like you have been. Eventually went with a Mcintosh d100 I found used. Since it has a pre-amp in it, I guess it all stays digital. I even removed my rebuilt marantz 7 tube pre-amp from the line-up. The mac has balanced outputs as well. I thought about the Brooklyn products for a while and am still thinking about trying one; they seem to do everything. The Mac doesn't have phono though. I have had about 10 DACs, and I eventually narrowed it down to a couple and thought the Mac was better than the others. And even then I'm not sure I heard much difference it just seemed more neutral? maybe not quite as bright; though I hate those terms they seem to fit. Not sure if the d100 fits all your requirements but I like mine. The newer d150 may be even better. And its the only mcintosh product I have in my current system so I'm not a fanboy of theirs or anything (I find most of it too expensive).

A conventional horn-loaded AMT, like the one in the Hawthorn Audio Rainier shown below, has a dipole loading, but the back is not horn loaded. Contrast that with the symmetric wings that Rudy and others have put together and shown in this thread, and I think that you have your first "fork in the road":ng mass than horn-loaded metal diaphragms and cone drivers, therefore have better self-damping properties). This means that it's desirable to use the AMT diaphragm at lower midrange frequencies if its output is good (i.e., free from distortion).

Thanks, I am going to go through this a couple of times to see how much I understand.
On some random search, I ran across one that had a waveguide on both sides. Not sure what that would improve.
I have enjoyed following along and have been trying to stop myself from ordering another pair. A previous AMT thread on this site led me to buying one pair last year and I've enjoyed them on top of my Cornwalls from time to time.
-
I know it's been mentioned a couple of times, but how would a waveguide achieve a better (or worse) response. I guess I'm asking what would a waveguide improve? I found an old beyma waveguide for an amt like product and some diy ones, like the one below. Would it improve off axis listening? Or help with the crossover? Just wondering how much effort it's worth over a "straight wing" design.
-
I have always wanted to hear a pair of any Oris horns. Where in north Texas are you? And pm me the price as well. One more question - originally how long did it take originally from ordering them to receive them?
-
I'll take them, but I may not be able to pick them up for a while. I pm'd you. Thanks!

Nearly Full-Range Multiple Entry Horns (MEHs)
in Technical/Restorations
Posted
Well at least my 1003b horns are big enough at about 40 inches - now just to figure out where to put the woofers....🤔
