Something more like an Azura horn; that would pick up efficiency, and would really be able to handle all styles of music.

Azura will recommend this tube

Or maybe a combination of both, which I didnt find

These guys play with some pretty expencive stuff but less will do

Some will also have a ribbon supertweeter, or something else, like a Fostex tweeter

Pretty strange stuff, but rest asure that they have tried every other possible way
They are just very "fanatic" about Lowthers fore bass
Strange, ehh
Im sure at least midbass is special, with acoustic music
Though I doubt they like heavy rock very much

Fore doing such like this I would coctact Martin Seddon, very nice man
Though, his bigger Azura stuff will be be expencive to ship outside AUS

Hello Kevin,

take a look on my HP,
a few satellits, with Lowther measurements,
the TRUMPET, HORN and the SCHALMEI sat.

Or the SAXOPHON with helper driver which is needed.

tinitus,

ah yes,
using a compression driver for highs, and a lowther for mid-bass!

my first thought was something more like this:
http://www.jeffreywjackson.com/exhilaration.htm
using the lowther for the top end, and a horn loaded 15" or so, and still keeping efficiency @ 107 dB.
Plenty of thump for rock, etc.

Although I still feel the next step up is compression driver bass horns, etc : http://www.jeffreywjackson.com/gotobass.htm ...

Hi everyone
Yikes I never even thought about compression drivers.
The design and execution is way over my head.

I think I'll look into it but put the project on the shelf while I do the required research.

I'm very new to the high eff. speaker world so what seems straight forward to many of you is a very large mystery to me.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Best regards
Kevin
