Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?

Thanks for the answers.
I was planning to put a Lowther PM2A in a 160 Azura Horn without crossover. For the bass, I was thinking on making to use a JBL 2226, in a bass reflex bos or a bass horn.
Any advice?

Thanks
Alan

Hi Jsadurni,

Thanks for the advice.
So, do you think that the compression driver does the same kind of inmediacy, low level information, reproduction like the lowther?
Which one is better in tone reproduction?
Which one has more "presence"? presence like feeling that the musicians are there...

I was thinking that can be an Azura 340 with throat for compression driver and for the low part of the spectrum, a bass horn or a bass reflex.
Which compression driver will you recommend me for the 340 horn?
My new room is 13 feet wide x 17 feet large, Im planning to put the horns on the 13 feet wall. I will seat at 12-14 feet from the horns, do you think is enough space for the waves to integrate and produce image?

Thanks

Hi Gawdbless,

Your system sounds like a very dynamic one.
Tell me, the Oris with the fostex produce any ringing?
What is the distance between the horns?
and
What is the distance between you and the horns?
Have you compared to the Azura horns? Some people say that the Azura is made of heavier fiberglass and thats why it doesnt ring.

Thanks

Hi Jsadurni,

So, a 340 Azura with a compression driver all the way up.
And a bass horn or reflex from 40 to 400 but with a driver capable of going to 2 or 3Khz?
But, if a set up the crossover at 500 or 700hz Im cutting in the middle th frequency range of the human voice, am I?
So, just to understand, in that case is not better a Lowther that can go down to 180 hz, where it will be easy to make the crossover point?

Thanks

Hi Jsadurni,

Thats a good solution. To use a bass driver like this maybe:
http://www.usspeaker.com/JBL%202226h-1.htm
it goes until 2.5 khz and is very sensitive.

I can use it from 30 to 800hz and then use a compression driver like the BMS 4592 all the way up. What do you think?
For the 4592 I can use the 550 azura horn and for the jbl we can use a bass reflex or bass horn.

Hi Jsadurni,

That Beyma looks very good, What exactly did you heard about the coaxial 4592 BMS?
I think that is the same that BD design use in his orphean.
If I use the 4592, I wont have to use a tweeter and i can keep the system two ways.
I mostly listen late at night, and I like to listen in moderate volume levels so I dont awake my family..do you think this kind of horn system bass reflex/compression driver can make it at low levels?
Thanks

Alan

Hi Jsadurni

What do you mean when you said that horns only load around 3 octaves?
By the way,,
Did you compare the Great Plains 902 to the BMS 4592 compression driver?
