Good day to all. Please help me decide on the design for the speakers SONIDO 200 SFR. Choose the Dallas II or RCA-Fan's K-slot. Thank you in advance for your help.
I'm thinking of getting a pair of Sonido's myself but I'm very intrigued by Sonido's own designs, you wouldn't consider those?
I do not like the recommended design for SONIDO, because the large size. I would like a small BLH.
Each to his own, my feeling is that the bigger they are the better they sound but you definately need a big room and a tolerant partner. I wonder if some of the designs on the frugal horn site, maybe the BVR's or something might work, someone must know.
They might. If there's enough demand I'll look at something for the FH site for them. I haven't until now due to the restricted availability & payment options (or at least they were when I last looked a year or so back).
FWIW, of the two mentioned, I'd probably look at Bill's Fulmar-slotted horn rather than Ron's Dallas II, which was tied quite tightly to the Fostex FE206E's specs.

two od Sonido's own horns ( Aion and square one ) are pretty much flawless .
there is no substitution for cubic inches

Thank you all! I'll try to build the RCA K-slot. Maybe someone has detailed drawings with exact dimensions?
For smaller cabinnet you shoud use smaller driver (175). I'd strongly recommend building one of Sonido's designs. They are designed specifically for the drivers and sound really good. I've heard almast all of them. Use tube amp to drive them.
download hornresp and simulate several designs that you are interested in. Noone can tell you just from the minf if Dallas or RCA fan horn will be better and if it will work well at all.
Сharcoal, помогите пжл - дайте ссылку как пользоваться этой программой. Хочу что-то классическое, типа Даллас или BK-20, попробую подогнаться под Сонидо
I have the SFR200A and the just deserve a proper box. I have heard these in some soet of folded Voigt pipe and they were just great. The AION/Hourglass horns from the Sonido web are very nice, but I would like to try a prismatic box first. So I am after a folded Voigt/ML TL type enclosure. There is a prismatic "horn" on the Sonido web, but either I simulated it wrong, or it is not too optimal. Putting ML port (100 cm2 outlet instead of the large openings on sides seemed to improve the things. I will share the Hornresp files later today. I will appreciate an help with tuning the design.
I finally got to playing around with this design - there is a slight bump at the low end. I tuned it lower by lenghtening the vent and it makes it a bit flatter with lower efficiency. That is good news, because it can be adjusted by the port length if needed. This looks like I finally found an easy enough box to try out.
I got a few nice designs from Istvan himself, I have not yet decided which one I like the most. A simple Voigt pipe with a vent will be quick and easy to build with my limited skills - before I let someone build a nicer cabinet.
Dave & I are working on a few designs for the Sonido units; we haven't got them drafted up yet though. Hopefully will be getting them refined & added to the site over the autumn.
