Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?


I'm hoping to start a discussion that is not charged with emotion that may be useful to folks seeking to build Walsh transmission line drivers.
Any of you out there played with this seriously?

*G* Hi, frazeur...and thanks for the faith ’n attention...

Didn’t mind the crickets...I’ve enslaved them. "Look...y’all keep the bench clear of stink bugs, and learn to keep the beat with the sound track. Otherwise...It’s THE FOOT. Deal?"

Compliance. ;)

All goes reasonably well, again, thanks. The ducks are lining up nicely, and the cats are herding proper. *G*

Contacted the MWAF, registration doesn’t open until Spring but they’ll let me know when it does. Spouse is good for making a hotel reservation for the time frame; it’s an all-day drive each way, so it’ll be a 5 day excursion overall. I’ve promised not to attempt to buy everything that strikes my fancy at the event as a compromise. ;)

I’ve got an open query to any and all that have been to the event:
Has an ’true omni’ ever competed in the ’unlimited' category’?
Just curious....

I did drop a leaden hint that an excellent Xmas gift would be a Cricut Maker in The Project, however. It’s an ’optional addition’ that could improve the overall performance of the finished items; a surprise of sorts... Time will tell...

The ’puter build mentioned before is Finally ready to get lit up.
All audio all the time, nothing else for it to do except sharpen the pencils.

Full intent is, if I fail...I intend to Fail Brilliantly.

Thinking ’outside of the box’ is easy when one doesn’t believe ’the box’ exists...;)

Take care, out there...5’s




Heard Dale Harder’s Speakers at Axpona and thought they were amazing! Definitely has taken care he Walsh driver to a new level. German Physics on the other hand should employ Mr. Harder!
@baranyi , I wish I could have been there. *S*  To be truthful and cards face up, I've not had the opportunity, the 'treasure', nor the pleasure to hear either IRL either.  Not that I've not wanted to; it'd be great fun to do so, to meet and greet Dale and hear his wares.  

And the GP units as well; it'd give another 'reference' to help fit the pieces of the puzzle that I push about with my endeavour.  Working in a vacuum of sorts has it's benefits but also it's drawbacks....

I don't get distracted or dismayed, tempted to toss the towel in the former

But, I don't know how close nor how far I've yet to go, either.

Feedback from you and others, despite how different we may perceive what we hear from what we're listening to, is to me invaluable.
And I'll thank you for that. *VBS* ^5's*

@frazeur1 , one has to learn from the failures, in order to avoid them going on. ;)  Such is life, and the main lesson of evolution.  I take the following 'quote' somewhat Seriously:

"If you push something hard enough, it will fall over." — Fudd's First Law of Opposition.
From: I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus, a 1971 comedy album by the Firesign Theatre.
Also referenced by the FT themselves as 'dope humour of the '70's" *L*

I grew up in LA getting 'bain gramaged' by such...much to the surprise (and, perhaps, the dismay of some) in a rather Positive Fashion. *G*

You Are what ate you while you thought you were eating it.  Whatever you may have been consuming...but I'm wandering off-topic yet again. *s*

Was recently in the  'First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions' forum here @ AG, where I discerned a great hint as to what sort of Xover I might experiment with on my 'toys'; a L/R 2nd order version.  Unfortunately, I also suspect that I kicked the parking brake on during a lively 70mph discussion....

Now, I don't want to get a 'rep' as a 'thread killer'...far from that is my intent nor desire.  I'm just another Seeker amidst the Wilder Mess.  But I do suspect I hit a major nerve in the audio organism:

The limits of certain speaker designs, and what can be done to make them work properly before you introduce them to a given space with whatever you drive them with.  And, how individual perception plays THE major role in that perception.

Or, I may have exported my crickets Elsewhere.
Oh, well. *L*  They'll be back at some point. ;)

A side 'note' of sorts:  Here's what I torture my toys with of late....

Go to 20:30 for an apt comment I take to heart.  The rest?
PLAY LOUD! *L*
Have a good Sundaze....*S*
Well, progress of a sort...*G*

Have spent some free time setting up 3 of the 4 pairs of my Walsh drivers with hf Walsh variants. The 4th pair is a 'goof spoof', a pair of vintage Utah 2 ways 'Walshed' (typical woofer, faced down with a 3x7 horn 'Ohm style'...i.e., aimed @ your face); not 'Hoyle', but loud 'n fun....

Basically, they're all becoming test rigs, to see what will tame their response to variations in 'formatting'...a handy term for 'enhancing' the cones with 'adds' to their surfaces.  This may be to the interiors, exteriors, bottom edges....play with the xover to see 'where they play happy...

Since they're different sizes and combinations, it ought to keep me out of or into trouble for awhile. *G*
