[QUOTE="Boyd Williamson, post: 148295, member: 10607"] Re: Double 10 and Horn Hi Peter, I'm very interested in this design, although for slightly different reasons, particularly form factor. We do a lot of wedding ceremonies where I live in NZ. I've been on the lookout for a more suitable (and higher SQ) option for some time. The requirements necessitate ground placed speakers only (cabs on sticks are considered an absolute no-no visually). Up till now we've been making do with what we have - a nothing special pair of 12" & horn actives, generally placed slightly wider than the seating, about halfway between the bridal party and the audience, with toe-in for coverage. It's less than ideal - the horn is much lower than desirable, and I doubt the speaker holds pattern very well, contributing to feedback issues with the lapel mics. Content is primary about the vocals (lapels on groom + celebrant, + a mic on stand) and typically includes recorded processional / registry signing / recessional music, or occasionally live music (say solo guitar / vocal) instead. I'm interested in adapting your design to provide 'just' enough half-space bass response to be usable / sound passable for the recorded / live music in this situation (no-one is expecting epic bass here - just not blatantly missing / tinny sounding), while still being able to double duty as cabs on sticks for speeches / background music, and as kick-arse P.A. tops. The quasi-fullrange SPL requirements for ceremonies would be pretty moderate (the front row is generally pretty close to the speakers). The TMM format would certainly help get the horn in a better location (I could even afford to go a little taller). I'm aware of the issues with driver unloading below port tuning freq, and consequently tuning may have to be kept a bit lower, almost a kind of EBS alignment perhaps? I'd like to maintain as much sensitivity above 90Hz as possible, and squeeze out just enough extension in 1/2 space. I'd likely run them bi-amped, with typical 'affordable' processing (dcx, PA2, bunker etc). I'd dearly love to get 4594's for them, but may have to settle for something like the radian 951, with the option to upgrade to 4594 / tri-amping later. I'd really appreciate your thoughts & suggestions on this, as you seem to be well ahead of the game! Kind regards, Boyd [/QUOTE]
