hulkss Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I put a set of PSE-144 horns on top in my home theater.

Max2 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) That is crazy. Love the huge room. Is that a massive screen mounted in-between the windows? Sweet chairs too! Oh and the horns! they look like the Elliptical equivalent of a 402. Really cool stuff Edited October 23, 2014 by Max2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Are those mirrors behind the screen? Looks like a reflection. To get an idea how big that room is, look how small the guitars look. Awesome room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkss Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) That's a 10 foot wide drop down screen and those are windows where you see reflections. The windows have three layer soundproof glass in them. The other "windows" are plugged with 2 layers of MDF with green glue damping adhesive between. The seats are: http://www.hjellegjerde.com/comfortcollection/?menu=367&product=262 To me, the best part of the set up can be achieved with the stock factory horns. I removed all the X-overs and multi-amped everything with Audiolense from: http://www.juicehifi.com/index.html The horns are a Danley Synergy type design sold as a DIY kit from Australia.

ClaudeJ1 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Who are you? Claude J. I remembered the photo with the cat. I downloaded your V3.0 plans, simulation and build images for your improved Lab Horns. I was going to build some a few years back but went a different route. I think we have the same front 3 channels, plus I have Danley's DTS-10's. A big welcome to you, I'm a fan of your work.

I have a set of Danley horns in this room: So how do they compare the Paul's molded 144's? The midrange drivers on the PSE-144's cover a full two octaves 300-1200 hz which is more than the Danley TD-2's that I have can do. I really like the PSE-144's and they match perfectly to a K-Horn. I would need to set up the TD-2's in the same room for a comparison. The PSE-144 horns have much better pattern control at 300 HZ since they are quite a bit larger. The point source design really beats separately placed horns like the factory K-Horn. I did run my K-horns quite awhile tri-amped and that was pretty darn good compared to passive. The K-horns sound better with a 300 Hz XO, no more vocals coming from the bass horn. Edited October 25, 2014 by hulkss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulkss Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 could you just swap mid drivers in the TD-2's? No, there is a difference in the position of the midrange ports and their size and shape. The compression driver is also part of the equation as it interacts with the mids.
