Which driver for 300Hz front loaded wood horn?
I'm taken by the Bill Wood's large 300Hz wooden horn....and I'm wondering who might be using similar? This horn features in the up-market Cogent speaker system from Oswald Mill Audio. Field-coil drivers make this rather exotic.
What drivers are best suited? I like the idea of new Altec drivers from Great Plains. The 902 1-inch driver will run from 500Hz all the way to 20,000. But, is this too much to ask of one horn? (I ask because I'm keen to develop a two-way speaker.) If this driver was not the best, then I would use the 2-inch 390 model, and run it from 300Hz to 5,000, then use another horn for the HF's, possibly using the 1-inch 902 driver....or a dedicated tweeter/horn similar to Beyma's CP25.
Bass will be GPA Altec 416 driver in large ported or Onken box. If I get really enthused, I might use the Tannoy GRF-R cabinet, but I'll then need to reassess the driver, as not sure about the 416 for back-loading. The GOTO bass horn is also another consideration...which suits the 416 driver nicely.
Thoughts anyone?
Regards.
Andrew
