Wood Horn 3-way

[Mr. Widget]

I have since swapped out the 1200hz smith horns on this project with full scale 2397 replicas built from heavy beach-wood driven by 2440s. The 2397 were constructed in the workshop in much the same way as the smaller horns. These mate very well with the E145s, and actually sound much better overall.

I am glad you tried that... I was afraid that might be the case with the 1200Hz horns and 1" drivers... still beautiful looking if not quite the same aesthetic.

Grilles look nice too!

- That Beech-Wood Horn looks gorgeous.

- Thanks John for posting your updated pictures .

- I love the aesthetics, with or without the grill ( nice fit BTW ) .

I caught this thread on the fly and I am flat-out impressed as hell! Those are a magnificent pair of speakers. Very beautiful in appearance and I'd like to add, very "JBL" like.

John,

thank you for your response to my post reg. an E145/2441 crossover. I did found the n333 schematic but not the biased one, that You seem to use.

What volume and tuning do your woofer enclosures have.

Thanks: Jakob

Thanks for the kind words.
Here is the link to the n333 schematic that I used for the tweeter and mid.

The boxes are approximately 4 - 4.25 ft3, and I stuck with the JBL recommended tuning of 40 Hz. Two 4" diameter ports each having a 6.5" duct.

Beautiful work John.


Enjoy.

What if JBL could come out with this as a available product. They could make a limited production and list it as a retro-vintage special design with a bi-amp or fully passive crossover.

I'm sure there would be a lot of folks coming out of the woodwork to buy them up!
