It seems like I've seen this before but I just can't put my finger on it.

Rather handsome, actually.
[Do we know how to do that?... ]
Very nice looking... I wonder how they sound.
If anyone has heard anything about these aspara speakers please speak up.

Haven't heard them, but I have a design concern. Anyone with kids should think twice about any heavy piece of furniture that stands on three legs.
Out.
Isnīt that a jbl 2385 horn ?
regards mats
Sure looks like that series, doesn't it?Originally Posted by matsj
I can't imagine any of the patterns being "right" for the application.
The horns I'm showing are 70° x 70°.
Never tried "pushing" 2450 HF, but from experience with 2452H-SL, that might work with SL diaphragm.
Earl K's done it, I think, with acceptable results....
Zilch, choose the left one.Originally Posted by Zilch
It's because form follows function, look at the throat.

Kinda funny.
Electro-Voice was mounting their horns and tweeters vertically decades ago.

An Interesting "oldie" thread that arises from the deep.
I think this thread predates JBL's Array 1400 ?? which was a real departure for JBL I must say.
I suppose Zilch was referring to me using 2450SL diaphragms all the way up into the HF // but I really don't remember listening to any of my horns vertically arrayed ( as seen in the first pic ) as far back as 2006 ( mind you my memory is definitely fading these days ).
OTOH, I am currently listening to a QSC 152i horn ( actually an NLA clone made by PRV ) situated on it's vertical axis.
I've been trying out a range of smaller format drivers to see if any might supplant my aging Altec 288-8K's ( thinking of future down-sizing ) .
( & Somewhat ) as expected the results are very good ( from an imaging and response perspective ).
Here's another QSC 152i clone ( oemed for B52 ) and available from Parts Express ( until stock is gone ).
These waveguides/horns are truly the bargain of the century ( IMHO ) .
Featuring:
- decent loading to just about 1K
- sport, great polars!
- sized correctly to give smooth FR with a minimum of pass band ripple ( negating the need of LCR notch filters )
- responding well to a simple 3-pole network ( with most drivers )
For the DIYer using 15's;
This horn with the Lansing co. driver of your choice ( Altec or JBL ) oriented in the horizontal ( over a 15" ) will give a lifetime of listening pleasure.
Here's one superb DIY example ( retrofitted into JBL L45 Flare cabinets );
For the DIYer using 14's;
No pics to show ( still in R&R mode ) but suffice it to say that with ones preferred ( small format ) Lansing driver of choice / with the waveguide oriented vertically atop a JBL le14 this combo will offer a lifetime of good listening ( assuming one appreciates imaging ).
PS; most of the above pics are clickable hot-links, to the P.E. sale & the others to build threads.
