    21" woofers ?

    Checked the site they listed for the 21" woofers and couldn't find them. Did they discontinue that model ?

    Hmmmm..................

    That kleinhorn looks like a huge waste of time and material. All that work and you still have a lousy direct radiator above, what, 150-200hz? Big deal.

    And yeah, I've heard plenty of Lowther and Fostex rear-horns and always been underwhelmed. Overly damped speakers that need rear-horn loading to make any bass at all, I call it horn-loading in self-defense. It's easier (and more sensible) to simply use such drivers as simple direct radiators in open baffles and augment them with a good box sub, something from Madisound.

    I dunno Zilch, I was in construction for a living, 35 years a Boilermaker, and I hate to see wasted effort. Besides, I never enjoyed having tools in my hands unless I was being paid scale. Building boxes was something I was willing to do but I enjoyed playing with the drivers not building the boxes.

    OK, OK, whatever man... but they sure are interesting to look at. I LOVE devices, especially big ones, with woofers and tweeters and mids, oh my!

    You might change your mind if you are fortunate enough to own an Passlabs F1..only 100 made.

    The F1 tackles the above misgivings head on ..read the other articles and the reviews to find out more.
