TB871 Project

Hi Tony,
I like the side details on this pic better than the other details (detail of horn internals).

Thanks for the comments. The preivous pair had flush sides; it seem like it was dying for some design to put on it; maybe a 3D relief in the future of a dragon or something...
GeWa & youyoung21147, great projects, which drivers did you use & how is the low extention?

The drivers are TangBand W3-871S
The low extension is 70Hz in free space, and 62Hz when placed near a wall corner (like on the 1st picture).
There's enough bass for music, I use them without the sub. The result is amazing ! Really the best value/price design I've ever heard 😀
The attached picture shows the front speakers, with the center channel that isn't really fullrange.

It's a Jordan JX92S. I haven't measured it but they go surprisingly low for such a small driver. The construction drawing of the cabinet can be found on Jordan's website.

WOW all of those look amazing!
layertone, Can you tell us more about the t-horns. I can't seem to find any information about these except pictures of your second pair. Those were a lot of work! In one of the other pictures I can see your wood work, which looks phenomenal.
How does the T horn sound compared to the TLs you built. Do you have any drawings?
I see the "half seize hedlund horns" Those two are amazing buy the way. How do those sound? Can we see more pictures? Again any designs?
link to pictures of your second pair? here
Thanks,
Josh

edjosh23,
wow i didn't know you track those pictures down to the other fullrange site! There's not alot of information, simply because i don't know much about horns. You can find my first layered project was back in 1999

i try to cut that curved subwoofer with a jigssaw, but didn't work, so i asked a guy at work to cut with a cnc router.
I was determined to search for an affordable one; almost got the Shopbot CNC (www.shopbottools.com) but decided to go all out with a more robust one, http://www.techno-isel.com/CNC_Routers/LC_Series_CNC_Routers.htm
I also got a Oneida-Air Cyclone 2-stage dust collector to pickup all that MDF dust, eek!

My first prototype folded horn using Fostex to test was a layered Mauhorn 12; i just decided to use 1/4 clear polycarb for the side, seen here:
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51041&perpage=10&pagenumber=2
I was amazed by the sound, so I completely start from scratch and came up with my own T-Horns (almost look like Buschhorns, because the mouth is in the back)
I like the layered concept because the expansion is smooth and continuous (does that allow better sound??? anyone know?). No trying to bend plywood or use bendy MDF... yuk!
To answer some of your questions, compared to the TLs, the T-Horns sound like a rush / wall of sound. High, mids and lows are excellent; sounds like a big speaker
The TLs do have the lows and high, but sounds like a much smaller speaker than the T-Horns.
Yes, it is alot of work, it's my first several trys, I'm just a rookie and still learning; as you can see from my descriptions, i'm not really technically sound savy.
The half size hedlund were just an excercise for the real ones. I only built 1 of them just for R & D
More designs to come as time allows.

Nice. 206e?
It is encoraging to here a situation with horns where the bass has to be tamed as opposed to enhanced.

Another Jordan TL
Another standard Jordan TL 😎
Finished in Curly Birch and driven by one of Peter Daniels LM3875 Premium kit and a Scott Nixon Tube DAC (can you say 'mimimalistic'... ). The veneer on both speakers is bookmatched.
Low end is supported with a small subwoofer (Alcone AC8SW and a seperate poweramp), finished in Birdeye Maple.
I really enjoyed doing the veneering and I'm very, very happy with the results 😀
