Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers

My next speakers are DIY, Frugel-Horn Joan with Mark Audio MA-200 drivers in the gold color(looks more like copper)

No crossovers, single 8" full range driver, combination of transmission line and rear horn loaded. Excellent reviews of the Mk3 and XL versions, have not seen one on the bigger units with the larger drivers I am building.

Goal is no sub(s), low power amp, low weight, great full sound.

I am likely to build several types of speakers to get the best I can out of the not so easy to tame full time RV we live in.

The speakers will be around 26" from face to rear wall and 8" to side walls most of the time. The design is intended to be close to the rear wall, corner located, etc so might be better in this position, just able to move them around a bit more if needed.

Thanks:)

I have done a ton of work to be able just to have a decent space to setup a good system. I added 1.5 ft to the length of the RV which has 8 ft ceilings and 8ft wide, 5ft deep until it hits the slide outs on each side then 12.5 ft wide but one side is cabinets with counter top and other side is wood stove, book shelves and Ekornes couch facing the speakers which are 8 ft from the couch and face of them can be as far as 36" from the rear wall but only 12" from the side walls. The speakers are on each side of the 24" D by 54" wide desk that is very solid and has a 2cm Brazilian green soapstone top, like the 8 ft wide kitchen lower cabs, wife's 54" wide stand up desk and 5ft island. The sides are not even near to being equal so there will be some figuring out to do decent acoustic treatments. Some will have to be moveable for critical listening, if such a thing works out.

Check out D I Y audio dot com before you build anything;)

Lots of projects, lots of info, links to even more projects and info.

Massive amounts of experience to learn from there as well as just great fun to check it all out.
