What drivers did you decide on? I'm thinking you have the Faital Pro 10PR300, but which HF driver?
Thanks! those are temporary, they were for my previous pair - i am having the same pair made with the correct dimensions
Those look great, Jack! I do love the look of conical horns, and it's great that you are loving the sound. Glenn.
I think i’m still getting used to the sound, it’s so incredibly wide and detailed - almost too much for casual listening but very impressive. They sound 10 times bigger than their physical size
What I wanted to express is that you cannot evaluate the naturalness of some speakers (whatever it is, I do not mean yours) with the electronic music that you put in the YT video.
That is why I uploaded the link of instruments that are known, I do not pretend that everyone likes classical music or knows the instruments of a symphony orchestra, but who has not heard an acoustic guitar?
You just have to pay attention to its harmonics, close your eyes and think, is this the sound of a guy playing the guitar in front of me?

If you are used to electronic music you can definitely hear the speaker character with that sort of music. But using phone camera and its mic moving around in the room will tell more about room acoustics than the speaker itself. From what I could understand or hear the treble was very bright and you may want to tone it down a bit more with a variable LPad. But it could also just very well be the room or the angle of the camera pointing at the horn making it sound so in the vid, I would never trust the accuracy of the inbuilt mic. Really difficult to say. Consider some real measuring gear. I could also hear your room having a lot of echo. Consider some more furnitures or wall paintings etc to break up room modes.
Guys there’s a lot of conflicting opibions here and assumptions being made from an iphone video. Maybe I shouldn’t have posted it.
The room is already very dampened, I listen to a wide array of music, I am also a record producer that has released several EPs and albums internationally. I play instruments also.
I appreciate the comments but i’m probably going to stop replying now. Thanks for the help, you’ll have to take my word for how unbelievably fantastic they sound.
I have had several hifi systems over the years, most recently a pair of harbeth m30.1 - and they’ve joined me across 3 different apartments and houses, all sounding slightly different as a consequence of room acoustics. What i can tell you is these new speakers sound better to my ears in almost every way. There’s little to no room echo, I am fortunate enough to have my house directly on a concrete slab and heavy insulation in the roof to tame florida heat so bass is relatively easy to control. Even easier with a 2 way that tapers off at 60hz, with dual subs i can position optimally at listening position. It came as no surprise my harbeths sounded their best in my currently listening space thanks to the room. The horns are better to my ears. Bigger, wider, better grip of dynamics, the detail is quite frightening.
Thanks for listening

As is clarified in my post, I was not referring to your speakers in particular, only to the chosen music.
And I am one of those who thinks that sound cannot be evaluated in depth through a YT video.
Something "shiny" can be good for some ears and bad for others. Sometimes I would like that characteristic presence of the horns , although in my case a waveguide applied to the dome tweeter is somewhere in between.
I really like the look of your build, and I'm sure they sound great. Congratulations again.
