[richluvsound]

They look really nice.
BTW didn't Tiger woods horn get him into trouble?.....

Mine has got me in trouble at times

[felixx]

NICE JOB FELIXX!

Which drivers will you be using and what will the rest of your system look like?

Well... these horns wanted to be a match for TAD 2001 and will be.Still expensive this drivers for me at this moment.
My system is not "friendly heritage" with this forum but have a good acustical timbre.
I'm not a "tubby" sound guy but I like tubes if they offer musicality and not distorsion (so called tube sound....-II-harmonics most of all....).
Anyway....bellow some pics of my DIY gear (not chinese crap) and a few projects in progress.Enjoy.

I put veneer on the laterals,inside,because don't like'it vertical lines from ply.
More pics will come....
At the moment I have those Tannoy's in bass reflex enclosures and it seems very ok but I wanted to try for comparison TAD 2001+upper horns augmented with one of these woofers... Onken/Jensen or bass reflex enclosures:
-TAD TL1102
-Altec 414
-Supravox 285
-Supravox 400

If you have any advice for using a good high sensitivity woofer to complete the TAD's 2001 please shoot.
THX.

OUTSTANDING! Thanks for sharing your quest. I especially like the laminated cabinets.
That has to be one of the biggest CNC machines I have ever seen.

Beautiful work, I've done this quite a while and don't do work as nice.

Thanks.
The speakers are ready to sing.
Meranti veneer.

I didn't hear anything further on your price for these horns, Woody.
I'm not sure I can do anything this month, but I'm always interested in sound upgrades ...
Feel free to PM if you don't want to post it publicly.

I first want to test the performance before I make them available for sale.
If all goes well, I will have a total of three pairs up for grabs sometime in October.

I decided to set a price of $1500/pair on the batch (four pair) that I am currently finishing. These are apparently spoken for from other interested forum members. My plan was to invoice these members when I was finished with the polyurethane application. If those members do not respond, I will move down the list of interested members. This is a part time endevor and life keeps getting in my way.

[Woody Banks]

WOODY,
darned if I wouldn't look to someone else for something to get me through the tough times and for a comparison to the high priced (TAD) spread.
It took awhile but I put together a pair of 2482s for 19" trachorns and they sound fabulous. I'm guessing they would sound even better with a beautiful set of your horns.
I'm sure the TAD driver is a killer but for that kind of outlay, I'd have a heck of a time verifying their expense since I have heard the JBLs and they are not (in the least)
a shabby driver used in a three way system.
VERY NICELY DONE SIR.

The TAD prices really sucked so I ended up with a nice looking 2450J instead. I hope to be able to give a listen to the combo this week. As much as I hate to, the horns will be going on ebay in the next day or so.

[Woody Banks]

Finished at last. Three pairs are still available. Next week will be ebay time. My next horn project will be Paduk with Wenge fins. This is the Oegon State Beavers colors: orange and black.

It's a shame all the "prospective buyers" backed out.

Shoot me a PM before you list them, I might have one more idea in mind.

Sorry if this is OT, but I just found an ad for a speaker called Barque M12 which I think looks so good! I don't know if it sounds good or which components that are being used, but if it sounds as good as it looks it should be pretty good and the price is not that bad either, aprox half the price of Array 1400.

It is Chinese made,they also have bigger ones:M15\M15II\M15signature(15''driver)\M18(not 18''driver,only bass horn)
As i konw,the compression is B&C,and they make woofer by themselvese.
There is also another wooden horn speakers workroom called L&T in China.

The topic was wood horns and fits just fine. The speakers remind me a little of the these K2 clones I saw on the RMAF site.

[felixx]

TAD TL1601 woofer on the clone?
