Very interesting are multicellular horn.
But with a very low waf factor 😁
Eliptrac is interesting too, but very difficult to home made.
Better buy the kit already CNC machined

Great work, but I'm going to be a little bit critic: with all the posts about the superiority of 2 inch mid horns and drivers, why not making your own Fastrac or Eliptrac 2inch horn, mated with the new PRV D2200Ph phenolic driver? Would give you even better sound than anything based on a K400 design.
As tweeter I always recommend Beyma CP25... a great tweeter made in Spain and widely available in Europe. But, it's quite big, and won't fit in a stock size LaScala top hat.
Qudos for the build tho! I wish I had your woodworking talents!
thanks for the suggestions.
this is just the beginning for my experiments on high sensitivity and horn loudspeakers.
I was already thinking about building a new horn using the same driver.
unfortunately in Italy speakers made in the USA are difficult to find if not at prices at which it is not convenient to buy them.

This is my pandemia hobby during the winter 2020/2021.
In march finished all, but only now I mounted all.
I made various spakers over the years, but i would recommend this one for the more skilled DIY and demanding HIFI lovers.
The wood horn is a little masterpiece for me

The speaker is amazing: sound good with all: classical, rock, jazz, pop.
There is a huge dynamics, and i can "hear more".
The old DTQWT speakers, very very good to tell the truth, immediately ended up in a corner.
I agree with those who said the lascala is a definitive speaker: they get along well with all genres

Fortunately I found midrange in italy.
Woofer in deutschland
And tweeter in france.
For me buying a used tweeter in alnico (or woofer) it'a a bad idea: alnico magnet demagnetized after some years....
-
Yes i read, unfortunately buying in usa is very expensive. And in europe this is the available tweeter. I'll try this, but in future i can upgrade all the system with multicellar horn for example 😁😁

Unfortunately apt150 is out of stock.
I'm looking for it!
The only alternative available is apt80 with circular horn. 🙄🙄
-
I bought an Eminence Apt tweeter, near the standard specs.
Only the horn is different.

Unfortunately I do not take sound measurement.
The plans of the horn is online.
I respect exactly the measure.

The splitter is alluminium V drawn.
Internally I glued wood for better bonding and to avoid resonance
All is sealed below and on the sides.

After two bad attempts, I use a simple alluminium drawn. Very tick and soundproofed with wood and generously glue.
Perfect. And the side is exactly 3 cm, as plans.

There are more discussions about respect the measures at mm on diy speaker and .... some people (in this case) add braces or other mods.
But braces modify the measure that we respect at mm... or not?
In this case are very usefull and cheaper solution. The alternative is a lateral panel thickness.
Anyway for me little difference do not change the project ...😁
