Could you describe the (minimum) "big front horn" please? Thanks.

I have Fidelio PM2A (ticonal), homeless PM6A, and (stored in the US) DX3. I double-notched the 15ohm Al PM6A to flatness above 2khz but horn/waveguide ought to help below that.

Notes on PM6A, F200A, W300Aii, FE108eΣ, and my Supravox TLonken.

Post in thread 'Supravox 8" TLonken... while city of 22M laid flat'

Belated drawing of the thread-title TLonken, 17L 1.5m-line converted from a very inexpensive but solidly-built (18mm MDF), ready-made labyrinth cabinet. Measurements are inexact and certainly non-optimal. The TLonken has served as a testing platform for "high-powered" (low Qts) 8-inch fullrange drivers including: Supravox, Lowther PM6A, Isred/MKHIFI drum-paper, and Fostex F200A....

During the Chinese New Year holiday I was "idle-fishing" and saw bargain-priced F200A and W300Aii, both models of course NLA/rarely show up/usually very expensive. Turned out to have suffered damage but still...

Azura 204 ,160 and Oris 150 are the ones I heard and I have Azura204 which I used with DX4. I never really thought much abut Lowther driver used as direct radiator without front horn. It was a big system (I used mine with Klischorn bass bins) not very "accurate and neutral" but it plays in a league of its own and have a glimpse of that uncanny realism which everybody immediately recognizes. It's not that I didn't hear traditional speakers that I didn't like which I couldn't afford even if they are third of price on used market. I just don't believe a semi advanced DIY can replicate or get close to this before switching to other project.
