Sure thing - goes with the territory ( speakers ) ! Now, I got to playing around with Hornresp and trying out drivers ( if I could find anything suitable ) for OB and sealed-box. This started to confuse me, so then I went upstairs for a bath, to relax. Then the voices started again, in a different w...

Thanks Lynn. I have plenty of long-haired wool to use ( no, not just because I live in North Wales :o ) , I will add some more ( I used a little ) to the box next time it's open . I also have a plan to add a zobel to the input ( eg. 7.5R/10uF ) to bring down the response above crossover , as from si...

How about "great bonkers minds think alike" ? I see you're trying to meet a specific height target as well as a volume . Makes sense to shrink the back panel then . I was trying to get a non-rectangular box . A bit of extra faff involved , but hopefully worth it. For me the advantage of th...

Thanks for the detailed info Gary. I must try some different options then ; then refine my ideas for the proper box. Can you link me ( or post ) to a frequency response for the 416 in your 3 cuft ( exactly how many litres is it ? ) so I can see how Hornresp differs from 'measured' - that would be ve...

Thanks for the offer on analysis Chris, but I'm OK for using Hornresp and then doing some measurements to see how it differs. I'm interested to see how the low-end roll-off looks, as I debated about using 1-Pi or 2Pi on Hornresp when designing, since the box will be close to the floor, but not too f...

The other way of looking at it is that a poor component anywhere in the chain can 'break' the sound of the whole system . Having said that, it's certainly possible to make a great-sounding system without breaking the bank, using the right choice of moderately-priced parts. We are the sort of chaps w...

Thanks Gary . I did some more last night and should be able to have a first listen over the weekend . The idea is to compare ( first ) the Fane Studio 8M as an unmounted driver vs. on the sealed box. It'll be obviously be different in its gross response, but hopefully I will be able to judge if ther...

Good effort Steve.
I've just come back from the Lakes with three more albums and five singles, and it would be fun to hear them all on that amp - I'm sure it would handle all of them very well , from what I've heard of this sort of circuit at ETF .

Yes, we get plenty of opportunity with our regular Yorkshire meetings. The other thing to remember is that if you make a change that sounds better, always try to go back again after about 2 weeks to see if you lost anything, as well as gained . I'm off now for about 10 days, going to "de-assimi...
