Are you talking Vancouver WA or BC?
If BC , maybe you're thinking of the art gallery downtown with the attached horn display. Perhaps based on
Nelson Pass Klein Horn. and part 2.

My whole question stems from not knowing what these horns are all about and trying to find a use for a set and a set to use
I have space for a pair of free standing horns with 12 to 15” mouths. What would be the possibilities with such devices?
Open to driver suggestions and setup recommendations

Klien Horn is a back loaded horn…. the best way tohorn load the 50mm i figure, althou you might want to fold the mouth around the driver.

I sold them when we lived back in Michigan. I agree about being more of a wave guide. It was a very open and large sound but not powerful.
That’s the one! In BC, sorry. All I really remember is it was simply massive. I remember being really impressed with the the recording of birds, but I wished they were playing music instead.
I just threw the 50mm driver out there to see if a horn would be useful. Looks like there isn't much use for a true front horn these days, as most drivers seem pretty even in their operating range. Is there any use for a waveguide around 10-12" diameter for this driver?
Still trying to find a combination that would look good on the desktop and look like some sort of sea shell in asthetics
Maybe I am not wording my query properly. If I wanted to have a pair of horn/waveguide type devices on the desktop with say a max diameter of 12" each, what kind of drivers would be suitable for this? They will be biamped with low freqeuncy cabs and mounted on top on them
Maybe you are not interested in compression chambers, otherwise I suggest you to follow some MEH thread that talks about the subject
Anything that leads to a funnel shape device for deco use, must be high sound quality. Nautilus, winkle, conch and such shapes for shell inspired or saxophone type shape or phonograph. Tunnel backed or backless
Well, I did put a 4" coaxial car speaker on a waveguide (ex- 10""speaker, so really 8" diameter with 2" hole) that obstructed the cone and the tweeter was protruding so at throat level..and the result was... interesting. Those were mated with a 10" woofer and lasted for some time...
While I kept the 2"+8"WG plus 8"woofer system

Interesting..... tell me more man. so you used the lil cone as support for a larger cone to turn that into a waveguide/tweeter? The 4" woofer coil, disconnected? This in two-way with a 10"?
That sounds workable. What kind of driver would suit such use?
I have a few 7” drivers that are smooth up to 400hz and need about 15L ported with 40hz tune. Good for a solid 150wrms
Actually, I’m open to any suitable drivers. Those 2-3” drivers are rated without any xover, I wonder how much they can pull once crossed at 400hz
Thanks man, this is the closest appearance wise….. possible with a small FR and a 7” sub?
The voice coil assembly dictates the thermic limit so the power applied to it
The spider/cone/suspension assembly together with the magnetic thingy associated determines the headroom, being the excursion at low frequency a consequence of the amplitude of the electric signal that forces the cone to the limit

Is this a bad thing? I.e. with a 150-200wrms woofer/sub @ 400hz xover

Would a woofer like this work in a back loaded system? Would you recommend a tapered TL or a horn as a two-way with the Tang Band FR in a 400hz horn?
