I am in search for a horn-driver able to mate a horn covering the frequency domain of 6-800 hz and downwards. SQ is the only parameter for the horn.
I am aware of the BC 8sp21, but are there others (even better)?
How about this: B&C Speakers
Best regards

To be honest, I only looked at the motor-specs and not the graph :-/ my bad
However, both mentioned with links now fall 10 db from 1000 - 100 hz, so they are quite equal there.
If the horn and driver can reach 100hz that would be great, but 150hz would also be acceptable as long as the upper end is very good.

Precision Devices 12MH25?
I realize this is 12", but might be worth going through this thread by user PMA!

The PD driver shares the nice low value of Le with the PR410, but the higher Qms value concerns me. Horn drivers should possess a tighter suspension than drivers otherwise used for conventional applications.
Horn design is at least 1/2 as much art as it is science. The acoustical impedance match provides the lift in the lower frequencies, but one must be careful about the steep fall of below--this could cause more problems than they are worth unless matched and crossed over down below to an adequate sub woofer section.

Thanks Scott L
Sure, no problem. I enjoy helping others learn. I would encourage you to continue investigating horn design.

Hmm, that driver came up when I googled but the specs are not similar.

Looks good for the ~76-760 Hz decade, but quite large, long and will need a phase plug; plus to me, best SQ would be a truly humongous WG, so need to spell out any size, etc., limitations and define what you mean by 'SQ'.

Thanks GM
My restrictions as to size is limited to apx 1 meter vertically, and 1-1.2 meters in the horisontal plane.
As for SQ I want a lower midrange/upper bass horn that present music with a live feeling, with (all of its) punch/slam and snap. Maybe dynamic is a better word. And it has to "float with ease". It is not very easy to describe what I mean here but: I have listened to not very efficient mid drivers in an ob, and they did not give me urge to "play yet another song", while efficient drivers have done the opposit.
As for the horn, it should have controlled directivity in the upper region, making the transition to upper midrange horn best.
I do not know if this made any sense - it does in my head but are not easily described by words.

How are the midrange qualities of a ppsl vs single flh? Does the inclusion of the drivers 90 degrees off axis degrade the midrange SQ (say from 700 hz and downwards)?
Oh yes..... an excellent point you make. Personally, I would not want to use a ppsl as high up in frequency as 700Hz. I only use mine up to 250Hz.
Sorry, I was about to lead you astray
hey, check out Inlow Sound for some ideas......
