OK, so I stiffened my midhorn. WOE, what a difference! Even greater dynamics and a deeper output, more clarity and space. It sounded so powerful, I had to hook it up to the stereo. If midrange clarity and warmth are important to you, I would have to recommend trying this thing out. It is surprising how much midrange we interpret as bass, but it's really just overtones of bass notes. Mated with a good bass unit and tweeter, this thing would sure be hard to beat as midrange. I think I'll make another improved version later, but for now it is just cool to hear how good horn midrange can be. I bet the real thing made of wood would be much better. I need more tools! Also, I consider myself pretty good at geometry, but I'm sure getting all these angles correct and true will not be easy--just a word of caution for anyone interested and table saw savy.
