what are you listening to?

Crrently only running 2 amps with a pair of mid 80’s Belle’s and a pair of KG5.5’s with Crites titanium diaphragms and updated crossovers. I have another pair of 5.5’s at the shop I just updated the diaphragms on that I’m going to add. Plan this summer is to build a custom set of Belle’s with a wood tractix horn, 2” throated midrange driver and possibly port the bass driver so it would be more of a hybrid Belle but use the same footprint.

I think you'll really like the 2" horn. Have you on decided on a driver??

I haven’t selected a midriver yet, I know Al K’s site had a recommendation on a 2” driver. What are you using in the K-horns? Are you using a wood horn?
 
I'm using a Martelli Tractix wood horn with 2" B &C DCM 50 driver and I rotate in the BMS 4592 occasionally. The BMS are way more efficient, but the DCMs are a little smoother....
 
Al K had the Martelli horns on his site until Martelli could not keep up...beautifdul horns BTW. I noticed Al is now pushing the old Altec horns??? I think Martelli had it right. AL HAD THE "ELLIPTICAL " HORNS FOR AWHILE TOO. bUILT A SET of those also. I think the Martelli's sound better.
 
Or the BMS dealer Assistance Audio....in Utah....I have bought many BMS 4592 diaphrams here ....good people...
 
Those are some crazy horns Lee....works of art some of them, garage built wonders for the others...lol!

I am definitely looking for smoother than more efficient.....so you would recommend the DCM 50’s? I haven’t shopped around for any yet, is that an ok deal from Parts Express or smoking hot deal?
 
I paid 600 each for mine, thre are a smokin deal at 378!!! In fact, I'm thinkin of getting a spare pair at that!!
 
Good deal, probably a good time to start rounding up the components. What should I expect to spend on a set of wood horns?

I am sure you have seen the volti audio horns?

They are bit pricey, good woodworking but pricey. Looking around for others if you have any links or options.

Listening to the 3 Mustaphas 3 album "Shopping" on the living room system while I preparing for the new preamp in the main system. That particular album always puts me in a good mood...good music.

Not the best quality, but what the Hell:
