I was thinking of a 4-way setup using 2405, 2445, two E-120īs and 2245 for the low end.
This shell be a mainly hornloaded system, so Iīm wondering if there is a proven design for a midbass horn that will fit two 12" woofers?
I donīt recall any jbl or altec cabinet for 12", they all seem to be made for 15"...
The 2445 would be mounted to a yuichi horn and I would targed a crossover of about 800hz. What I have located so far is a stage acompany 12" horn, but that has a very narrow horizontal dispersion of 60°, whereas the yuichi 2" horn has 90° and this wouldnīt match very well...
Besides that, I know from tweeterhorns that you always have to set the actual crossover-point at least double above the physical horn-cutoff. For example, the yuichi has a cutoff of ~300hz so you should crossover above 600hz...
In case of a JBL 4560 woofer-horn that loads effectivly above 200hz, would I have to crossover at 400hz??
Would you recommend a midbass-horn for home-hifi or is this a bad idea?
How does such a setup compare to a 10" or 12" in a sealed enclosure as used in the famous studio monitors such as 4355?
I have experience with the 2123 in 0,5cubic feet sealed at home and wonder how it compares to a horn. I have owned a 4560 horn, but donīt know how this behaves in a living-room.
Where is the drawback of a midbass-horn at home?
Looking forward to hear your ideas :-))
