    Hey Ron, I'm going try a pair of the 4645B (8 cu. ft.) cabinets with 2242 in my basement setup. The spec sheet says it's tuned for 25Hz. Good starting place, right? Did you run yours with any EQ? ...

    I have started seriously on the 750B. I replaced the quarter-inch jack inputs with RCA phono jacks. I wanted sturdy rubber feet on it, and there are four holes already drilled in the right places....

    Just starting restoration of 750B and 750C

    This thread has been extremely helpful and even inspiring. I recently became owner of a BGW 750C quite accidentally through a friend, and expected a lot of power but the same faults I had heard with...

    Or one of those doohickeys like a superfine comb where the steel-pin teeth push in to make a copy of any surface curve. That photo makes it look do-able, but is the throat transition something...

    Belated thanks for the great new info posted here, such as the FR of the TAD 4001 with EQ. Since my living room system includes the 1601a and TD-4001 on TAD clone horns, this greatly interests me!...

    I noticed that Mr. Yuichi has published plans for a vaneless or finless 290hz horn, called A-290FL, linked from this page:

  9. Great work! Some surprises

    Compared to the others, the Truextent diaphragms do not appear to have any special FR extension in the 14K to 20K range.

    The Yuichi and Edgar do not differ as much as I expected. This is all...

    Amen to that. Mine keeps asking why I don't implement a proper gain structure with the bi-amping, and questions my use of damper diodes for a preamp power supply. She still loves me though, and I'm...

    DIY Diaphragm Users are Few

    I really doubt Brush-Wellman's business plan is counting on DIYers. I think they are after the pro market for replacement diaphragms, and that's why they emphasize durability as much or more than...

    System used

    Sine waves. :p

    Not sure if you meant equipment or music, but someone else asked about the electronics and the rest of the system, and I didn't see an answer. It was a two-way with a TAD 1601a...

    I've got a pair of those giant Imperials

    Nice link! I have a pair of these beasts in my basement, and it is quite amazing what they can do with JBL LE15B drivers (and with Tannoy dual concentrics, and with Altec 515E's ...) Even with...

    You mention that this will be in an econowaveguide two-way, right?

    Can you go 15" despite width constraints? You want some slam, and you want efficiency to keep up with the compression driver......

    Beautiful!

    Lovely to look upon, heaven to touch,

    The hard-to-read footnote says a signal warbled from 100-500hz, and NOT the inflated 1Khz figure used by other manufacturers for drivers not intended for use over 800hz. My horn loading is probably...

    Specs, technical tips, and history too! All great answers to a mundane question. Thanks, everyone!

  24. Are 2" driver exits/horn entrances really 1 15/16"?

    But they don't measure 2", they measure about 1/16" shy...

    Great 2226 front-loading results! Horn dimensions???

    This is very very interesting to me. I have a pair of 2226 I'd like to use in a 3-way. I've got tractrix-horn loading from 200-800, and am looking for horn-loading below that. Would you please...
