Scotch talkin' to you too?
Thanks, man. One thing I need is some encouragement. And another beer. And two hard-boiled eggs.
<HONK>
Make that three hard-boiled eggs.

No notch filter-- its going directly to my amp. But I will say that I'm currently powering it from a sound card connected to my (gulp) PC and I have actually lowered the bass a bit (not much). That's simply because I am listening to these in a 12' x 12' (3.6576 meters x 3.6576 meters, for our Euro-friends) room and the bass is too much otherwise.
I'm using an SET 2A3 with these right now, but I'm building an LM3886 GainClone (OK, chip amp) this weekend and it will likely be connected to the new amp soon, in which case I may re-evaluate the notch filter.

Nice work, Kofi. I found the sound quality changed in unpleasant ways when I added a notch filter to mine, so it didn't stay long.
Reviving an old thread...
Have we resolved if we can use the new 126E in the Buschhorn MkII enclosure as a drop-in? I'd like to make a pair for a friend.

No, but early reports are that we are getting closer to getting the RonHorn thru its development phase

Cool! Err... some details?
Are you expounding on the Buschhorn design? Will it be rear-firing? Built for corners?

I can't think of any funny response to this. I need more booze.
The deal here is that a friend heard the Buschhorn MkIIs with the 108EZ and has to have a pair. I thought I'd work with the "new" 126Es and a Buschhorn-like cabinet, so I'm glad to see one is in the works.
Step on it, willya Dave?
JEEZ!

Kofi,
The pair he has to have are in your living room. Sell them to him now!!!

Just got back from listening to the RonHorn A126 (now in their stop sign period)... these went from unlistenable but with promise to stunning. And there is still some tuning & tweaking to go (the stop sign period is the result of some seat-of-the-pants math0 I still have this feeling that the FE108ES is a bit more refined in the mids (but then our 126s only have ~50-100 hours on them), but other than that.... they rock -- and that is with the 4W Class A EL84 mule..
pictures promised...

greetins fellas, well finally finished my b'horns(pine ply with tasmanian oak 1mm ply vaneer) and I'd thought I'd send them down the catwalk.Before you ask dave there not alnico 103's. they have the designation foster 100k03 with ceramic magnet.3watts 8ohm. they sound quite nice. I still feel they are lacking a lot of body as I'm used to the dallas II horns for 206 but the do image well, and vocalls are pleasantly forward.how could you boost the low mids to round offf the sound abit. would the extended baffle help this or does that affect further up. currently there is only a smidgeon of stuffing in the cc.hope you like cheers fergs
ps next stop A126
ps next stop A126

What the extended baffle does is move the corner of the baffle step frequency down to where you are getting lift from horn. It is a dance you play with the Q of the driver & the size of the compresion chamber.
