Hello all, I am new to this form and DIY audio in general although I have long had a passion for audio. I currently own a pair of revel M106 and my father owns some Salon 2s. I am interested in making the "Best" Horn loaded "party" speaker. I am a big fan of music festivals and want to recreate that chest thumping bass and levels where I need to put my musicians earplugs in but as high fidelity as possible. I have been taking some inspiration from the likes such as funktion-one, hennessey sound https://www.hennesseysounddesign.com/point-source/ , and KV2 VHD2 https://www.kv2audio.com/products/vhd-series/vhd20.html . This sound system will eventually be placed in a "great room" likely a flown array to get even front to back coverage. I am currently thinking of 4" 1.4" exit beryllium compression tweeter such as https://radianaudio.com/collections...s/951-4-diaphragm-1-4-exit-compression-driver and possibly paired with one of these horns https://www.parts-express.com/B-C-M...ctivity-Horn-70x55-4-Bolt-294-6184?quantity=1 . Hennessey makes mid bass and subwoofer boxes that do 75-300 and 25-100hz respectively that I would like to emulate or possibly just purchase.
My biggest question still is how to complete the midrange likely 275/300-1???hz I want to have as high fidelity as possible but it also needs to be comfortable at 120 and reach up into that 130+db peak levels.
maybe https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.c...nx-003-e0073-08-6-graphene-cone-woofer-8-ohm/
or Purifi Ushindi 6.5" PTT6.5M08-NAA-08
I plan to do this all on active dsp crossovers with 7 separate amplifiers to get the timing, crossovers, and frequency response perfect.
Any and all advise is welcome!
