RE: Inlow Sound's 130 Hz midbass horn

hvbias,

If you are going through the trouble of building / have made a mid bass horn then build a proper horn for your desired low end frequency. The larger the horn the better, you should be able to scale up john's 135hz horn but you will have to run the numbers to see if it gets to your goal.

The TAD 4001 is an excellent driver--but do NOT put it in a round tractrix horn (from personal experience) as it will sound bright and forward sounding --it needs a TAD designed (or copy)axial horn to sound best. I much preferred the sound of the JBL 2441 with beryllium diaphragms installed in a round tractrix horn. Cessaro uses the 4001 but in a large, heavy, super solid spherical horn and it sounded excellent.

Goto makes some very impressive and expensive drivers but they are mostly used in 5 way systems where the individual drivers are used in fairly narrow frequency ranges--and you MUST use them with the proper Goto horns for the best sound (according to mfg). I have heard a Goto horn set up at the Capial Audiofest several years ago and found them to be very detailed, dynamic but slightly bright. Another potential problem is you will have to send these drivers back to Japan if you have any driver issues. Just my opinion and 2 cents.
