[An attempt to build K-402-MEH clone in wood]

I tried both, works NP.
I'm using Jremote2 as it's current and they do updates on it, updated last month.
Gizmo was last updated 6 years ago?

Only thing I want to do is figure out a way to run Jriver from a tablet at my listening position.  
 
 

Try Jremote2, works great for me. I can control jriver song selection/volume from my phone or tablet.

I have the same jriver/audiolense/lynx audio/synergy horns setup.

Just remember that the title of this thread is "A K-402-Based Full-Range Multiple Entry Horn", meaning that if you try to skimp on the mouth size of the horn, you also give up directivity of the resulting loudspeaker at midrange frequencies.  I believe that a major reason why the Danley Synergies sound so good is due to point-source controlled directivity in the 200-1000 Hz band.  Most or all folks on other forums fail to recognize this.

Understood. I'm a bit challenged horizontally with the screen. I can maintain the K-402 dimensions but will have to turn it sideways. Just trying to decide which is more important and have more advantages, smaller 90 degree horizontal horn or keeping a bigger mouth size but with 60 Horizontal coverage?

Thanks Chris and Claude, these are perfect selections, just the type of music I am familiar and  listen to...  Thank you

Thanks for the list and links Chris.

I'm into Jazz/Blues/Rock, looking to experience a jaw dropping multichannel demo disk.

Do you have your top recommendations in this genre? I just want to know what I've been missing all these years

When you do switch back to 5.1 from stereo, the effect is generally like the difference between listening to a recording, and being in the room with the musicians--no kidding.  It's amazing. 

Ok this is great news! Exciting enough to try...

I don't have any SACD or DVD=A music, any disc recommendations to really show off this multichannel feature?

So you have Twin OThorns (I have one) and is that an Skhorn in the center? What about the rear of your room? Surrounds? I'm a AtamosHT/Stereo combo Canadian American who is curious about the rest of your system not posted in pictures or text.

Hi Claude,

The left and right subs are Ricci's SKrams, yes the center is a SKhorn.

I'm 80% music and 20% movies right now. I actually just got seriously in to HT last year.

So I have no surrounds/Atmos or any of high tech HT setup.

I have enough speakers on hand though to do 5.4 setup.

But I don't know how much joy that would bring to an HT newbie  

 

I should try it though, I have a Lambda Unity horn or B&C 15HCX76 coaxials I can try for rear speaker duty. 

I've never tried it, is there a big benefit to listening to your full HT setup with surrounds for music listening?

 

For music, do you listen to your full setup or just the 2 front channels?

And move the center subwoofer to the rear.

 

I don't have room for a Sub this BIG at the back. I'm planning on taking the 2 drivers in it though and make two smaller subs for the rear.

an someone say, or show, what the throat looks like in the K402?  

 

From what I can see it's a square throat with a 2" hole. No filler to transition from round to square.

I'm in the same boat trying to make one but I might start smaller/simpler for experience...

[A K-402-Based Full-Range Multiple-Entry Horn]

Thanks for the MSO link NiToNi, I might have to go that route later as I already maxxed out my 8 channels.

 

I agree, Audiolense is a keeper, I've had it for years and I could not part with it. Made my life simple or simpler.

 

As far as video delays, if you are using JRiver it's pretty easy. SHIFT + < OR > takes care of lip sync issues... https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Lip_Sync

Your speaker system looks interesting. Maybe you just need to add an MEH center channel?

Thanks, center channel is in the plan, just have to finalize the size/layout so it does not block the screen too much

 I would err on the side of too wide a horizontal coverage rather than too narrow based on my center loudspeaker SH-50 trial.  With the K-402-MEH, this isn't an issue--I get a complete wall of sound with no sweet spot.

Will go with 90 degree horizontal. Hoping to start cutting wood when it warms up. Thanks Chris

Here's the spreadsheet that I used in case you want to iterate the results for yourself:  Synergy Calc-100x70 straightnoflare 36x21 mouth.xlsx

Thanks for the spreadsheet. I can live with 26x40". That's not much bigger than what I have now. I will play around with it more.... Thank you Chris

Hi Chris

I'm in Calgary Canada. I've contacted our local Klipsch dealer here and they're finding out if I can get the K402 or KPT-305 box. But I'm also open doing dual flares myself if the K402 route is too cost prohibitive. I will follow your footsteps and go with dual 15's and the BMS 4592.

Thanks a lot for your guidance, you'be been very helpful and it's much appreciated.
I will go with what I have on hand and see if I can make it work.

It's looking more like I'll be doing the SH96 style, as I have not heard from my local Klipsch dealer. 
I have a small room, 13'x15' feet that is open to the left (see attached)
Do you suggest going with 90degrees horizontal, considering it's a narrow room?

I can go 90 degrees if that is the best solution...

Right now... I use Jriver>>Audiolense>>Aurora8>> 6Channel Amp >> 3 Way speakers.

Link>> Audiolense does automatic delays, XO, FR correction...

 

Chris, I don't know if your adjustments can be done in Jriver or Audiolense.

I think it can be done with my current gears, but I'm not 100% sure.

I have some research and more reading to do...

 

FYI: I'm trying to see if I can improve on and replace my SH50. I already have BMS 4592NDs and 15" woofers. Still trying to source out the K402s if I can't, I'll have to DIY the horns.

Thank you Chris and Edgar

 

As far as I can tell, Aurora8 will do Analog/Digital IO, routing, levels but that's about it, no EQ. I'll have to look at the manual again.

I would like to use it if possible. I'll have to search if there is a XO/EQ software solution that would work with it. Let me know if you guys know of one.

If not I'll have to look at miniDSP or Xilica...

[A K-402-Based Full-Range Multiple-Entry Horn]

Read through all this, from start to finish. Can't believe how flat the spl/phase plot is. Simply Awesome! Thank you Chris for sharing this.

I have most parts to do this and would like to dive in and get started.

I have a Lynx Audio Aurora8, would this work? Or do I have to get a Xilica unit to do all the necessary adjustments?

Thanks in advance for your help
