Hybrid BR/BLHhorn

[stevieg]

I was poking around on the web and I came across this for the new Fostex 126En. Europe Audio

What are the precedents for this design? Does it work well? I can see why you would want it to work, but there wouldn't be a lot of point if the BR boof boof overpowered the articulacy of the horn.

Not significantly different (if at all) from the Fostex recommended FE126e TL/BR hybrid. We built it -- not worth the effort at all.

Cheers. I thought such a design would be much more common if it worked well.

For 'not significantly different', read 'exactly the same, even down to the spelling error in "frequency".'

Doesn't necessarily mean that the box type doesn't work, just that this particular one isn't great.

Fostex has a record of generally having weak recommended enclosures.

I have FE126En on the way, and we will likely 1st put them into FH Mk3.

At least that bodes well for the new driver being at least functional in the old boxes.

Officially agog.
