With so much talk about the new midrange horn on the board these days, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Got myself a 2x4 sheet of 1/4" and built myself a horn last night. Not very elegant craftsmanship, but got all the pieces together with lots of "liquid-nail".As luck would have it, I had everything to put together a 8PI-type speaker: a 2PI Tower, PSD2002 drivers and horns, crossover components, AND A PAIR OF 12mH COILS!

I've never heard a midrange horn before, so the sound was very different for me. The first time I heard these horns on the speaker, it made me say "WOW!", right after my wife said "WOW!" It really brings the music (and especially the vocals) front and centre. Now I understand what Wayne means when he talks about dynamic range.
Compared to the "Thermionic 2PI Towers" I had running, the addition of the midrange horns gives a more forward presentation. Detail and "liveiness" are definiately improved, but without any additional edge. I am definately going to try and fit one of these things in my basement.
Duncan, looking forward to your review when your coils arrive.
