DIY M19 idea's

[Panomaniac]

Yep, that's the ticket.

I did make a set of horns out of 100% cotton rag watercolor paper mach? and wheat paste glue.
All natural, don't you know. =)

They sounded great, but where rather ugly.....

There is a group buy going on for some different LeCleac'h style of horns from Poland.. Would anyone happen to know if this may be a good way to go for a different take on the M19 using the GPA 902 driver.. Wondering if any of these may match up well for use in an average listening room over using the 811 or such variants etc..

Sorry, to be able to see the pics you have to be logged in over there...

Also wondering if adding this from Fostex may be a good idea for flexibility for the M19, in like fashion to how they were offered from Altec? I read that they are supposed to be good and well made?

- The rollercoaster responses are similar enough to each other, that the M19s HF "flavour" would seemingly be maintained if one used those 12" waveguides from Poland .

- The OSWG waveguides biggest advantage over the 811 will be it's better off-axis response ( and cleaner decay times ) .

- Do these Polish waveguides include mounting flanges for the driver ? ( they're absent in all the pics that I've seen )

- Their per unit cost ( $ 100. USD ) is quite reasonable ( IMO ), while the shipping of $35.00 is competitive with anything originating on this continent .

- $33.00 for a 100 watt variable Lpad is excessive for my world .

And why I prefer 511s and especially MR994s. Note that the WG's response comes closer to the 511 WRT sibilance emphasis, so I'm liking it over the 811 already.

I'm not sure about the mounting method etc.. I've asked the question over there about the bolt on drivers etc, so hopefully will hear back??

I'm going to build new 19's using Martinelli wood horns with 902 drivers and the standard 416 driver for bass.
