I was listening last night a string quartet rehearsal. The play was for the most part justifiably non-so-glorious and I was thinking about my little audio things. For sure our upper MF drivers nowhere near where they need to be. There is too much...

Haralanov,
Here some raw cements of my on it, without any particular order of importance….
1) Sand damping it beautiful, it is well-recognized, but you do pay cost for it, in your case the cost is space. Sand is very little compressibl...

[quote user="morricab"] I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resona...

I had a very interesting experience last Sunday. I visited
my local audio guy and had a phenomenal listening session. He is horn guy and
had a good sound in his dedicated room. He is for year playing with surround sound
that I never cared about an...

Thanks, but it is kind of different. The dynamics that I lost
have a different by nature. There are many reasons why I lost static dynamics.
I have a gasket between the new plates and old baffle, I have many other problems
that is shortcut in this...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. [/quote]
Oh, this is a sheer pleasure but do not call that dirt enemy. He is not enemy but way beyond it, he is the person about whom I have a death-wish as ...

Rowuk, a couple of corrections, but I am certainly not arguing. First, the dac outputs 1.25VRMS, or thereabouts...I am going to measure it. The 0.6VRMS is because I run it at -6dB into the Placette because for some strange reason it sound...

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn guy and I never insulted him?!!...

Well, whatever you do with your loudspeakers of with you whole playback system is kind of irrelevant if your drivers are not right. In my view the drivers are the very much heart of playback but in case of High-Efficiency and particularly horn-loaded...

Ok, I have 200 posts in this thread. I was stated over a year back. Thanks for anyone consulted me and observed where my Pilot Acoustic Systems took me. At this point, when the MiniMe result has settled to my satisfaction and when I am not going...

Hi Romy,
I think my post is a little confusing.
The picture shows all the different drivers
used in these experiments. The Altec in
wood
horn is the constant with the
the 21" bass channel. Then I bridged the ...

Once again, it is not about the loudspeakers but about the idiots who put themselves in position of shaping public opinion by expressing the “expert” view. Yes, I am taking about the Morons who write those audio reviews. A new Danish 90db sensi...

Chris, I certainly did not mean “costs nothing" in the literal sense. I meant that it costs as much as any other driver to make that Feastrex. Come on! If it is an electromagnetic driver then how much does it cost to make a few pounds of core (even i...

user="Murataltuev"]Thank you for comments.I agree with front-baffle

Maybe, some people would be interested in what I am doing with my system. I have been continuously listening and sparsely making changes and letting them sink in. For now, I feel more settled and think the biggest obstacle for me in reaching the ...

Yesterday was a truly wonderfully
day. I spent the whole day to play with playback, had a LOT of fun with it found
some unexpectedly good solutions that made me very excited.
The project with IB is
over, the result is surprisingly good. ...

A few things I would like to say in context of Pham’s playback.
I will leave his infatuation with turntables alone – man like to collect turntables and he within his constitutional right to do whatever makes him happy. The problem that I see ...

This mooring I decided to play with my infinite baffle. The
mess with my analog crossover hat was calibrate for my old listening room gave
me bad IB taste. I bought used stinky Behringer DCX2496 Ultradrive Pro crossover
for $100 to find my new cro...

My string quartet have just spent 6 days recording haydn and being assaulted by nasty Genlecs.
I can assure you that this is NOT what I want my system to sound like.
(Actually I sort of began to see the point of them after a while.. but
that's ano...

Rakesh,Thank you for your kind remarks. I appreciate the close scrutiny you have given my previous post but I think you are at a stage of system design where many basics of your system should be considered and evaluated before the issues of my po...

The last night I put the kids d and wife and bed and desired

thinking again, smoking a good Padron Family Reserve 50 cigar… OK, I lie to
you. I do not smoke in...

Yesterday I finalized everything, made the crossovers permanent,
arranged the cables, check the phases and levels per each channel and officially
declared to my wide that the listening room setting up is over. Then as the kids
went to bed I decide...

Here I share some thoughts about what you have shown. I will
share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
All nessesary compliments for your planning come as a default and I do not

This is the text that John posted a few years back at Triode Mafia. John allowed me to post it here warning that he have learned more about tapped horn since then and hat his opinion might have changed since then. -- *****************************...

The last night I had truly alarming in experience. I visited
Bill who had my original Dannoys and brought to him my SIT Yamaha B3 amplifier.
He did kind of in the same directions that I did, disconnected his horns and
was experimenting with Danno...

All thinking about ULF are usually centered on 3 subjects:
drivers, topology and amplification. Even though these 3 subsets very much intertwined
I still would like to talk about it separately. We do presume that we have the proper
drivers for pro...

It is well known fact that all loudspeaker enclosures contribute to the sound of a given acoustic system to some degree. Unfortunately the resonances of the baffles have constant monochrome character and if they are too prominent there is always ...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
