[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, you are right. Power – you have almost unlimited power. Dynamics – you have as much dynamics as you want. But there are a lot of associated problems with that kind of dynamics. The following illustration is taken by ...

[quote user="ulf"]A few years ago we discovered the tractrix horn for MF use. It was really the most important improvement so far. No more honking exponential horn sound. The improvement was so clear that A/B testing was not needed. [/quote]
For wha...

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

[quote user="tuyen"]When i change the cutoff of the 505tt to 200hz and 250hz, I experience that same 'hole' you mention about. Hence why I was questioning if it is the 160hz le'clech horn causing this and if using the goto s150 horn with it's di...

The AA guy with name Kloss runs on side a company “KCS loudspeakers”

I do not think he does anything with his company. He is known for years helping other DIYers like himself to make theirs loudspea...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Hello Romy!
I just listened to this system http://www.hornfabrik-eder.de/index.htm which has an 8" Görlich in the upper bass horn and I couldn´t find anything "inherently faulty" about > 4" without compression. The kettledrums...

Jacky, so, you are the person who did that presentation at
the video was posted by xandcg a few days back and who presumably found the company,
welcome. Is the same internet forum account used by multiple people then it is

[quote user="Thorsten"] I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low input c...

Whoever implemented and experimented with my slicing of lower MF range by 3 channels (Upperbass, Fundamentals, and MF) know how powerful it might be. Changing loading and volume of each of the channels it is possible to write any sound one might ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] blah, blah, blah, all that stuff... yes, yes, I was thinking along those lines last night after I posted it, and wondering if effects of hi pass, (not just steep acoustic roll off of driver), in the amp, relieving unwan...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

This week I will be trying to address why the Milq midbass is clipping. This is very interesting one. Currently the Melquiades LF channel uses an output transformer 700R to 5R or 11.83 to 1. I thought before that I have much lower ratio, like 5:1 bu...

[quote user="zako"]I did not like the two slit configuration of the phase plug..but the five to one compression ratio produced low distortion,,,but i was not impressed with its bandwidth,,,JBL also used a eight inch speaker assembled to a special...

[quote user="be"]
Horns are of course some kind of band pass filters with different kind of ripples at lover cutoff and beaming at upper cut off, according to horn type.Maybe it should be added that contributing to the horn sound idea, is that the...
|
The precision of those inductors is very much irrelevant – it would be easy to fine-tine the filter with the value of the resistor. There is a bigger fish to fry – the benefits of LR filter.
If we are taking about high-pass filter then there are no ...

I am not well familiar with what Berkeley. Their voyage to the beginnings unit that the company started was irrelevant to me and then thinner USB version did not attract my attention. It is not that I feel that they were bad units. I never had th...

Well, frankly this conversation is about nothing in my view as the way how the subject calculated there is no right and wrong in this debate. What is acceptable, what is reasonable, what is effective what is any another adjective to put in… phono...

Bud, yes and no. They are right and the ultra high frequencies do pass any capacitors, indictors and transformers and I am attractive to the idea of filtering somehow by using the skin effect, I fins it is VERY elegant. The problem is that I do n...

Well, I spent today a number of hours trying to advance my observations regarding abilities of the one-stage Melquiades. It was quite interesting. Thankfully the electivity today was way better during the second part of day. I loaded the 6E6P heavier...

[quote user="Cosmos"] Anyway, as the description on our site on second paragraph says, the third 6C33 located at the back, is used as the pass element of the regulator (controlled by solid state circuitry) providing 220V with 100uV of random noise &a...
|
Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Well, I never felt that for prototyping I need more then one-channels crossover as by use of the poor sounding prototyping crossovers I never look at the system in it’s entirely but rather for the “technical listing” of just two channels that I...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

talk about it they forget to note that it is not a motor problem most of the
time but the interface between pla...

[quote user="hagtech"] It's difficult for me to guess exactly what the possible sonic effects of the ripples would be. I see a tube operating at a fixed point, having a particular distortion spectrum. Say -42dB 2nd harmonic. Then, t...
