    It's been a while since I've run them, but I found the PT-H95HF to be my favorite-sounding waveguide of the group.

    You have to deal with the increased depth and resulting driver offset, but it's not as if that isn't manageable....

    Grumpy,

    Thanks for describing the physical difference in the horns. That was the type of information I can use. I will search for the mentioned plots.

    4313B-

    Yes, it is likely that I will do that. I am however trying to draw as much information from the group as I can. It's never efficient to go into something without as much knowledge as possible. And DIY is nothing new to me. Again, trying to gather collective knowledge to propel a project forward without unnecessary mistakes or lateral moves... Will definitely report any findings. Good, bad, or ugly......

    Zilch,

    Great post. The pics help a lot, as there has been very little released from JBL. Even after many searches it is suprising how buried some of the posts are. I will give this a thorough read. It definitely looks promising!

    Thanks, I didn't realize JBL Pro sold to the unwashed masses.

    Received the PT-H95HF waveguides yesterday and have the 2435HPL's mounted. The setup is running raw with 1.5K 4th order LR filters and no eq/response correction, yet still is making some great sounds. I will do some refinement this weekend. Attached are a couple pics of the bass cabinets with the 2370's. The PT's are going to need some cosmetic help as they are not so pretty!

    isn't the PT-H95HF the deeper square-faced one? (Mr. Z?)

    Nice looking corner-reinforced BR cabinet
    What was your intended crossover freq again?
    or does that remain to be sorted out?

    You're right, of course.

    The suggestion of a separate cab as opposed to just sitting the waveguide on top as shown is still valid, I s'pose, so I'll leave it posted....

    Hi grumpy,

    Thanks, the new corner loaded cabinets are working really well. My original plan was to push the xo point as low as practical. Something around 600 to 800hz. I changed direction with the purchase of the 2435HPL's and the PT-H95HF waveguides and will have to find the right balance for these parts. Currently these are setup with a 4th order 1.5K LR network, but I will be experimenting with a lower xo point, assymetrical slopes, and also with a little compensation soon. Success will come, but I welcome application ideas too!

    Hi Zilch,

    Thanks for that idea. I was thinking of a "Klipschorn looking" top cabinet, but the waveguide is just tall enough to throw off the aesthetic balance. I may still give it a whirl.....

    Nice cabs!
    Why not use a horn loaded 10" cone mid like in the Pi Seven?

    The plans for the mid horn are on his forum, I've got the link somewhere...
