Jean Michel on LeCleac'h horns

[jzagaja]

If you sort points along all XYZ axes (not as slices) then it goes pretty easily.

Serious work SunRa.

Soongsc - elliptical JMLC is different, you can't just draw two guidelines and two ellipses. Surface approximation through point cloud is of course much quicker especially in Mastercam.

Well, then you either have to scan an existing one to calculate the point clouds. Be even that won't give you smooth curves. The better way is to draw multiple guidelines.

Do anyone know if Azurahorn is still in business?

Do anyone know if Azurahorn is still in business?

Why not ?

My guess is he will do his artwork forever
If it wasnt because I want an elliptical, I would surely buy his AH-550

 

[Defo]

Why not ?

My guess is he will do his artwork forever

Because I read somewhere (dont remember where) that he quit. Something about not having the spare time.

 

[Defo]

Where can u get elliptical ones by the way?

 

[tinitus]

I have communicated a bit with him
I might mail him and ask about it
Do you have serious interest in this
His site is active, and no mention about closing down

Already mailed him And yes, im interessted in the AH-550.

Elliptical JMLC collection.

 

[jzagaja]

Iwata 300Hz 1inch.

 

[Pano]

Wow! The Iwata is super cool. Would love to hear it. I remember the old ones with the TAD drivers, very nice.

 

[jzagaja]

But the old one were rectangular?

 

[Pano]

Not rectangular, as far as I remember. Looked similar to and Altec 511, but with a smoother curve on the side walls. Maybe I can find some photos.

Some photos on this page:

New construction, but same shape.

 

[jzagaja]

Do you know any advantages? Looks like a low "T" JMLC profile.

 

[CLS]

Beautiful?

It must sound great - it looks so good!

Iwata 300Hz 1inch.

Where can someone buy that horn?

LOL
A frequent problem with women, I find. So many are so attractive - until they open their mouths to speak. The "Fran Drescher" syndrome.

I defense of the Iwata horn, it does sound great, and has sexy curves as well. The principle behind the Iwata curve (IIRC) was to keep the side walls perpendicular to the wave front as it expands. So Mr. Iwata developed his own profile. A number of other profiles are similar to his. Hard to say if one is "better" than another.

At my age "attractive" is enough

The OS does exactly what you say the Iwata attempts to do. The difference is that he "assumed" how the wavefront would expand (and incidentaly, got it wrong) and put the walls there and I calculated precisely how they do expand and placed the walls there.

.....So many are so attractive ..... Hard to say if one is "better" than another.

fyi,
my experience with "vitavox RH330 & CN159 with S2 & S3" and my (diy) IWATA & S2/S3 (and dia adaptor) , my (music) preference go for the IWATA in vivo,

in fine,
I presume that a horn profile (look a like iwata) but in a concept " JMLC" would sound better (out the good hands from jzagaja... i presume,
nice horn project,
