I always wondered why the original owner of your Goto drivers moved on the cone speakers. Did he tell you why ?
It is all DIY now.
As a source I had all kind of best DACs on the planet: top DCS, MSB, EMM, Berkeley and so on.
Still have Trinity DAC and Lavry Gold DAC, but now as a main DAC I'm using the one based on TDA1540 with tube output buffer.
Amp is tube SE - 3 different ones, still choosing the best. Before I had top Gryphon and Tidal.
He is now using best cone speakers in the world. A.E.R. I've also ordered one for experiments. His system sounds amazing from 200hz. Down from 200hz he is using H-frame array with Maxonic FC drivers, but I don't like the result. Actually, low frequencies is most challenging. I also still don't have a solution for 20-120hz range. I've ordered Focal Utopia EM subs to try them with my system. In one friends system Focal Grand Utopia sounds amazing at low frequencies.
I agree.
My DIY full horn expierence (5 way):
Low (horn); Electro Voice "Patrician" ...
It's music ... i like it
Finally, this monster is in my room and I'm extremely happy with result!
20-100hz range sounds amazing...just like I was dreaming!
Transparent, delicate and powerful!

@ murata.
Yes, a good start to 20Hz ....
Did you have twins monsters (stereo)?
Some quids (near the 20Hz):
Tech. spec driver?
Type X-over (pas./act./analog/Digital)?
Type final amp (BJT/Valve/OTL)?

Isn't that the inlow sound spiral bass horn? inlowsound.com
I would like to learn what driver you have put in, and what is the next channel, and what type of slope is used in between. How did you align them... You know it doesnt stop at 100hz, if it is a gentle slope, you will have sound around 200hz, so I believe alignment may make an audible difference

Yes, it is from inlowsound.com
For just 25$ I've received complete drawings!
Here is my measurements in room with low-pass filter:

Single one made, but after measurements and listening I'm going to make another one.
Driver there is very unique: GOTO SG-146LD-4 I was lucky to get 2 pairs, so one pair is used in 120hz horn and another one in this 25hz.
X-over is passive 4th order.
Amp is powerful single-ended GM-70 based 18watt dedicated for this channel only.
I don't have sound around 200hz because slope is quite sharp, so I hope that alignment is not critical. The only way to TimeAlign it is to use delay in digital, but I don't want to go digital, so looks like this will be the only channel not aligned with others. But still I'm going to try digital delay to be sure that I'm not missing anything.
Next channel is the same driver in very interesting horn - 120hz half of 2m diameter 🙂
This is final look I'm going have:
I have never heard GOTO SG-146LD-4, so can not say anything. It is good that you can use the same driver for adjacent channels. Yes, the filter is quite sharp,a 4th order! but as far as I can tell you are happy with the integration.
Great effort and the looks have come a long way since I first saw your proposition. Love all the channels and the inlow spirals. I think you can design more beautiful stands but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The next logical step to take is to build a large enough, properly proportioned and treated room to put them in with a good response.

Yes, it was interesting jorney from first ideas to final result after all experiments.
And you are right that room is next challenge, as current one not big enough for this construction.
BTW, if any occasion to be in Moscow - welcome my home for evaluation 🙂
Thank you, when I am in Moscow I will try to visit for enjoyment more than evaluation 🙂
You are welcome to hear my system whenever you are in Antalya!
