Jazzpassions Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolox Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 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! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpassions Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. over $430 a pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are affordable. This is why I have recommended these for many years (over 12) for LaScalas and Belles. They sound much better than the others. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ClaudeJ1, and I still have not found my k-401 horns !! If someone has some in France or in Europa (Germany, Italy) and if he can send them to France or better in my so far little island.
