Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

Actually I do not see any fundamental differences between production and homemade speakers and I do not know why you put the home made speakers as something by default more superior to the productions models. You see, it is not about the speakers as ...

My Biggest problem is the performance to cost ratio. Twenty years ago I got a pair of Onkyo DM-3 speakers as a present, I think they cost around 200USD at the time. A couple of years ago I could afford a pair of Wilson WP7s, they sounded more "clear"...

Romy, I agree that it is not necessary to spend that amount of money to get good sounding speakers. But in the real life situation you'll have to pay for design, quality, manufacturing and of course... good sound. Let's take the Tannoy Westminster Ro...

but worth the reading. No "magic experiences" listening to crappy music, no "mistical revelations" about who-cares soundstage delineation... just objectively-aimed impressions about the strong and weak points of the sounds those speakers can reproduc...

[quote user="Paul S"]At this pointIi think it's fair to say that if you have ML2s with "reasonably efficient" speakers then you can safely just hew to whatever works best with the ML2s and toss the rest, because in that case "the rest" is not worth k...

Well, I would say listen to everything and make up your own mind.And you should select speakers that match your room and the rest of your stereo. Blah blah blah.I was going to say most folks here have built their speakers. Then I realized...

It is a lot of work but it a lot of pleasure to work on it. I put Macondo in as is position. The ceiling will be painted and painter will be moving the speakers, so where the speakers are now is irrelevant. Still, the image below gives an idea what w...

Podium Sound speakers are not NXT speakers. They use a central spine of transducers to vibrate a special panel that is supported almost exclusively on those transducers (four small sound bridges are used to help support the perimeter against a solid ...

Ha! You're either old or you read too much. There was also Arnie Nudell. Back to Bob Fulton, he never made 2 "statement" speakers alike! I actually owned E modulars from him. They were +/- the same as the Js, but with smaller subs. Ironically (cons...

It seems like many speakers that might be acceptabe at low to mid volume with simple music begin to compress and otherwise screw up when "pushed", either dynamically or with more complex music. Of course, plenty of people really have no use for speak...

Well, it is a given that I am not a horn guy right now to begin with. Of course, the "theater speakers" were and are mostly dinosaurs and/or mostly of historical/nostalgic interest. I just want to mention some excepti...

I am interested to find out more information about how DEQX will help solve my issues with getting better soundstage, imaging and depth with the Edgarhorn Titans. I read some reviews from the DEQX website and sent them an email but still waiting...

Hi,The tech guy asked for 2800 euros for a monoblock pair, and his project wasn't really the same what Romy and Dima designed, it had some modifications that I wasn't sure wouldn't spoil the results. On the other hand my speakers aren't as sensitive ...

I tend to look at specs even though they might not tell much about sound. I saw that one of the DSP processors has an ambience type phase injection option for a pair of front ambience-type speakers, along with the rear ambient speakers. I am probably...

The horn mouth will be 3-4 foot from the wall but you are right the MF/HF will be closer if i dont delay them so i can bring them out from the wall. If i line them up purely acousticly then they will move forward at least two more feet which puts the...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

Anthony, the rock located in a middle gives a
great advantage of shortest and symmetric cables.[/quote]But it is only the interconnects to the amplifiers that need to be longer...no others...speaker cables stay as is...a...

For the sake of helpfullness, I think that we may separate the differences of the ported speaker designs of myself and Petar. What I have described is the standard, pedistrian model of a vented speaker. Petar's is a hybrid aperiodic-...

Last few years my interest in audio “out there” got subsided and nowadays I seldom exposed to new amps, speakers and other product that the industry offers. It only partially might be explained by the fact that I got worn out on the primitive s...

[quote user="manisandher"] For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. [/quote]I very much applaud to the desire to have speakers that do ...

Collin,I would suggest that you abandon the idea of placing your speakers against the back wall with that reflecting/diffracting angle in front of the speaker(s). Such a structural intrusion would not be kind to the polar radiation pattern ...

Romy,I heard these speakers and I thought they sounded excellent compared to most of the crap at the show. Even better were are pair of original Western Electric 757A two way monitors that were running in the other room. No bass below 50-60HZ, but vo...

Gotta say, it's nice having great stereo front channels; but the way typical stereo is done ensures that the "sense of space" typically "stops behind the speakers". I messed around with big OB speakers for many years, and they made some nice room eff...

I listened to $$$ Wavac amps with 833 tube driving Kharma speakers and I found it sounds like the old tube radio in my garden hut at 40°C. Why not more semi-active speakers with high-sensitivity mid/treble and transistor-powered bass? ...

Steinway speakers? Why not! Another long-established piano manufacturer, Bosendorfer, are actually making their own speakers that pretend to be pianos - they have resonating boards attached to their sides!You might imagine that...

with their Victory , Total Victory and Complete Victory or was it Extreme Victory line of speakers . Makes me think that they are designed strictly for US market. I heard that these are good speakers and I just wonder how many potential costume...

I own a pair of the Total VictoryIII that pair nicely with my room due to the inside firing woofer (tames my room nodes). The marketing of the products uses tremendous hyperbole (words like 'breakthrough' appear often with regard to speakers, c...
