I have finally finished the setup of my horn system.
Here is a measurement at listening position. Looks fine.

Hi, the subwoofer is crazy, schlager, reminding me of some Danes, which were quite crazy in other regards. Cheers!
Thanks, yes I'm pretty pleased with the sound 🙂
4 x 15" Fane Colossus XB is in the basshorn, tuned to 22hz.

Wow! Impressive.
Despite the basshorn being most impressive, I'm more interested in the midabss horn as I'm contemplating going that route. Would you mind describing your midbass driver, horn, and xo points?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
that is some hot low end, you got +10db to my system
Hi LewinskyH01, thanks. I can only recommend a midbass horn. A lot of music has the fundamental in that area and I think it is important to get that right aka big dynamics and transient response.
My midbasshorn is inspired by Mr. Inlow from Inlowsound. The hornpath is 63 cm. Throat 18x18 cm, mouth 50x50 cm. The driver is an old but goodies EV15L in 30 liter backchamber. It covers 80-500hz.
Regards Sebastian

Hi manninen, I find that REW can be difficult to measure the lowend correctly. Normally when listening I remote dial the bass level to taste, from my listeningchair 😛
But generally I like a more low end compared to flat, because of the ears lower sensibility in that region. As I say "whatever floats your boat" 😉

Hi Schlager!
Nice speaker!You will be able to make an earthquake with that! 😛
I am calculating a speaker and i was thinking about frequency response.
I see you have an upward frequency reponse to the low end.
Is it a matter's of taste or do you think it's the most balanced way with any kind of music? (rock, jazz, electro...).
Your opinion will be a great help because i see diyers using flat and non flat frequency response, so i have doubt.

Frank
could it be...schlager music?
obvious joke
but for the response your room is good too, i suffer from floor and ceiling reflections

Great! That's the same range I'm looking at. In fact I have also exchanged with Inlow Sound and he steered me towards his 60Hz Crescent horn that is just too large for my environment (1.8m tall).
Your midbass horn seems to have a curved sided profile, though, while I believe Inlow's 80Hz midbass, 100Hz midabss, and 60Hz midbass (for dual JBL 2240) seem to have straight sides. What kind of profile did you use?
Hi Frank, Thanks. I find that most modern music (pop, rock, heavy metal ect.) need a lift in the bass, mostly because of bad production. Audiophile recordings not so much or anything at all. But in the end it is a matter of taste and I dial in the bass from my listening position, accordingly to the track I'm listening to.
Another issue is that if you turn up the music loud, the ears sensitivity drops relative to frequences above 100 Hz accordingly to Fletcher–Munson curves.

I usually feel hot low end very opressive but could it be normal slow decay room responses.
outdoor concerts might have even more boost to low end and haven´t got nausea there.
hey schlager show us your REW decay graph
i c theres brick walls on sides, hot 45hz i presume?
