Great! That's the same range I'm looking at. In fact I have also exchanged with Inlow Sound and he steered me towards his 60Hz Crescent horn that is just too large for my environment (1.8m tall).
Your midbass horn seems to have a curved sided profile, though, while I believe Inlow's 80Hz midbass, 100Hz midabss, and 60Hz midbass (for dual JBL 2240) seem to have straight sides. What kind of profile did you use?
The Inlow horn is exponential with straight sides, mine is similar but with 2 sides curved. That way the horn can be made shorter compared to conical. Don't think it matter much if it is curved or staight in that frequency region.
I prefer a lift of about 10 dB from 200 hz and downwards, measured from the listening position.
That is what my ears also tells me 🙂 True flat sounds thin and anemic to me and probably also to most folks.
I usually feel hot low end very opressive but could it be normal slow decay room responses.
outdoor concerts might have even more boost to low end and haven´t got nausea there.
hey schlager show us your REW decay graph
i c theres brick walls on sides, hot 45hz i presume?
Well as I said, there are different approaches and it might seem overboosted but I think I'm quite picky with my sound, so I adjust the bass many times when listening. I also think that active subs are more picky about different recordings, than "normal" speakers with analog x-over. They simply have a higher degree of differentiation, I believe.
Who know? 😀could it be...schlager music?
Do you have idea in db the effect of the room gain on low frequency?but for the response your room is good too, i suffer from floor and ceiling reflections
Thanx for your feedback. I will use a curve similar than yours.Hi Frank, Thanks. I find that most modern music (pop, rock, heavy metal ect.) need a lift in the bass, mostly because of bad production. Audiophile recordings not so much or anything at all. But in the end it is a matter of taste and I dial in the bass from my listening position, accordingly to the track I'm listening to.
Another issue is that if you turn up the music loud, the ears sensitivity drops relative to frequences above 100 Hz accordingly to Fletcher–Munson curves.
Regards
I am thinking about which sound level i am listening the most often.
So i will determine the frequency response in consequence.
Hi Schlager, I seem to recognize these midbass horns. My friend picked them up for me some months ago and it took some other months to get them from Denmark to my place. Now they are waiting in my garage for a bit of cosmetic overhaul. Is there any chance you still have the Hornresp file for these? I figured one out by measurement of the dimensions. I would like to try to extend the throat to try out 8PE21s in them.
If you remember, I would also appreciate some information about the type of finish you used. Basically, I would like to sand them a bit down and spray or paint black.

Some of the horn is actually made of kitchen doors, they were very heavy I remember. The curved sides inside the horn is mdf board. You should be able to sand them down a bit and then paint them, enjoy 🙂
