A few photos and info about the Okan Soylu’s horn based system. He has designed and built his house and dedicated listening room. Okan is an interior architect with a continuous interest in room acoustics and he studied both formally at school and continued throughout the career. The house is surrounded by trees and is situated on a cliff by the Mediterranean sea. So very little outside noise, especially in winter. The frequency response (the attached response is from listening spot) and 0.4s decay throughout the band which are well within reference margins. It is a 5 way system with passive 6db/oct crossovers with impedance correction; Bass 20hz-120hz – H-frame Open baffle with triple 12″ woofers, Midbass 120hz-500hz – cf110hz tractrix with supravox 285-2000 modified. Mid 500hz-4500hz – cf200 tractrix with 2″ Radian 850pb-be cd, Upper-mid 4500hz-9000hz – JMLC 1400 with 1″ Radian 475pb-be cd and Treble – 9000hz-20000hz – Fostex t500amkII.
