Just wondering

Im thinking a lot about them, but lack of appropriate corners is a bit of a problem....

I realy like the 4 x 5½ inch version with a mid/treble horn on top.
its nice having a cornerhorn with only one bend, with a flat response to 2000 hz or more. I think it should give a very dynamic sound with a lot of presence.


As usuale: Upscaled with four 12 inch woofers......hmm....hmmm....thinkin......hmmmm......

I'm in the middle of building a pair; they're, uh, "not trivial."  :)  
And yes, I started by re-building a listening room with the same dimensions as Steve's, with the alcove.  

I like the fact that the FLH/BLH aspect, and drivers can be so easily changed.  
I was going to build the four 5 1/2" driver version first, but Steve said the other version worked better indoors in a smaller room.  

As to scaling it up, I don't know if that's a good Idea...  
Horns are designed with specific compression chamber/throat/flair rate/length/mouth dimensions.  
Just "making everything bigger" changes everything; it's no longer tuned to the same frequency (if at all).  
AND
One of the main advantages listed in the original white paper of this design over the Klipsch is that this design uses smaller drivers, which keeps the mass of the individual driver less, which in turn makes transients quicker.  
What was also mentioned in that paper was the option of stacking multiple units though...  
I bet that would be awesome in a big enough venue!

Thats very intresting. I can imagine thats its "not trivial" to build.

Interesting! if I had a place to put them, I would order the plans.

stan461:
I was answering Circlomanen, as to having modeled a sub horn with a -3 dB point at 20 hz.  
Steve Schell has built one, it is 8' x 8' x 2', and fires into a corner 4' away.  
I plan on building one when I finish my cornerhorns.  

I think this is a lot better approach than scaling the cornerhorns up to using four 12" drivers.  
The white paper discusses one of the Decware advantages over the Klipsch coming from less driver cone mass.  
This would be lost with 12" drivers.  

Since the Decware cornerhorn is flat to ~40Hz as designed, I'm building it per blueprints, and use a sub horn to fill in below.

hey gexter,
sorry, i didn't see your post, i haven't been checking in as much lately.  
"life stuff" is taking up too much time lately--i'm finishing up a master's degree and doing a practium this semester.  
which means, unfortunatly, that i might not resume work on the corner horns until after the first of the year  >:(

nudge.
just wondering?

Still no news???
