Budget 1.4" driver & waveguide combo

[impuls60]

Looking forward to see a REW sweep of these!

This ME10 clone horn is built very well, thick and non-resonant. I am relieved I wont' have to return the Lase compression driver and horns after initial listening.

-1.5” though.

When they dont have prices on their site without registrating you know they will be super expensive lol.

280 Euro’s or 280 dollars (converted from Canadian dollars)

-the real problem is the lack of an inexpensive waveguide.

What about various 1.5" horns including JBL ones on the Bay?

I use and like this one: https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/jbl-horn-lens-5006815-stx825/

And I ordered the Lase horn 10.5x10.5"
View attachment 1238999

Nice thing about that horn is that if the room is small or close to side walls, rotate lens for 60 degrees horizontal……..for home use the 80/90 is really too wide. I’d LOVE to see a 60/40 or even a 50/50 lens for typical 8ft ceilings. JBL for their pro home cinema used to make the Syngergy 1400 which was only around 45 degrees horizontal and that system sounds amazing

1“-1.3” entrance, not 1.5”.

No, I'm using a 2431 which is 1.5"

Perhaps you like this one as well. It's 40x30° and 46cm deep, thus can be crossed low.
