... about that monster amp
Last year I built something like the 'über Aleph'.
this one idles about 1300W/ch, has 32XIRF620N front end bias current is about 100ma, and output power is beyond 550W.
In the moment it's driving a Visaton Monitor (94db/m).
THIS ONE REALLY ROCKS!
Since nobody here seems to care about electricity bills, and if trere's interest in this project i'll take some photos and post a little more.

Zen version 5? Will this be the Ultimate Zen? Or a Son of Zen variant?
Either way a terrific birthday present! Thanks, Nelson. 😉

the claw
Hi, Mr Pass
will the claw be a single speaker horn project, or a multyway one?
How are the dimensions of the prototype/schematics (in case that no prototype has been buid yet)?
and- thousands of thanks for sharing the knowledge of the amps etc.
How do you make it with your time?
It seems it takes a lot of time to make the commercial passlab things, the passdiy things, speaker projects and watching/answering to the forums and so on (dont know if you have family or simillar things.)
And I wish to say that it`s an honour for me, having communicated Mr. Pass....
Regards,
Ralf

Ooooh, nice!
Actually, that one looks like a larger version of the
"Kleinhorn" that Cyclotron guy and I have been working on.
The Claw is similar but larger and not curved or folded.
It currently uses an 18" driver.

The Original Brown Note ?....
I remember reading in 'New Scientist' mag 30 years ago about a 19th century trial of an outdoor giant passive horn that was big enough such that an ensemble could perform under a flared entry to the horn, and the horn bending 90 degrees and then flaring out to very large dimensions and broadcasting over a public park.
This passive amplification worked much too well according to the report of the low frequencies causing profound nausea in the audience members !.
Nelson, you have been warned. 🙂

Shouldn't that be The Giant Claw?

I see you have a shot from the classic "The Claw"
Now we need an audio clip from "Get Smart":
Not the Craw, the Craw!

What's it like to work with the Mad Scientist Karen?
Heroine: Will it work, Mitch?
Hero: I don’t know. I honestly haven’t the faintest, foggiest idea. It’s one of those cockeyed concepts that you pull down out of Cloud Eight somewhere in sheer desperation!
