I find that one of the most interning and stimulating ideas that you expressed was your experience with your bass horn
[quote user="Reinhard"] Midbass horns: are there are two 20 cycle bass horns which normally have 6,50 m in length and 3,20 i...

[quote user="drdna"]Maybe I don't know what DPOLS is, as suggested by others in this forum. All I know is that I can spend a lot of time fiddling with the exact location of the speakers, the sepcific 3 dimensional alignment of the two sets of d...

I am on record as not liking back loaded
horns:to be effective at bass frequencies, a BLH needs to be as long
as a FLH would be; I've yet to see a BLH, with the possible exception
of the Tannoy Westminster, that actually has a long enough horn ...

I guess I have found a more or less usable new configuration for ULF channel. It is 28Hz, second order, with slightly raised ULF on the transition slope. It sounds quite good. Well, I am not supposed to say this. It doesn’t sound good but it sound pr...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

Doug, it is a lot of tuner went over your hand. I wonder what drove you to do so. Was any specific quality of sound that you were looking and the tuner that you own did not serve you?

These days I am traveling frequently and relegated to listening to music via headphones and "portable" sources. I will briefly post my brief journey as a personal log. It might provide a starting point for those who might find themselves in the same ...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

It wound up taking 9 weeks to get my re-built cartridge back from/through the Ortofon DK/USA consortium, and then I let the re-built cartridge just sit there in is box for another 2 weeks. When I finally went to re-mount it, I managed to snap a ver...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Considering the conclusions of my recent experiences that I described in the following thread:http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=6876I would like to share some of my observation that the people who would g...

A few days back I visited an audio person who demonstrated to me his experiments with extreme lateral deviation of souses. Regardless if I agree or not what he was doing or trying to do the demonstration has an unexpected result. One day I was driv...

Romy, Here are some images of a slight variant of your Macondo Frame proposal.
This version has the Fundamentals horn more rigidly coupled (this may or may not be desirable) and does not require a counter weight. It may also be a little more co...
|
I have identified a direction for my next speaker system. Whether it is a good one or not is a different topic -- I think it's a good one because I've lived with my current horn system for 10 years and have since developed an understanding of it's st...

[quote user="twogoodears"] I learned nonetheless to use for my (limited) task (fine tuning my speakers and audio system in my music room) the great IVIE IE-30 R.T.A. and IVIE IE-20 white/pink noise generator [/quote]

[quote]might I ask why[/quote]1.)the bass will be pretty coloured...mouth not large enough for proper bass response..
2) numerous horns--imaging all over the place!
3) All those tubes in the mouth of the horn??? disaster..microphony!
4) those horn...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]
I do not think I called you with names...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

[quote user="Serge"] Wouldn't you want to try some HF diffusing stuff on your back wall windows? Like wooden plank blinds if you see what I mean? Or you want the reflections to be catched earlier, behind the listening couch?[/quote]
Nope, it w...

Spend a good few hour moving the boxes, connecting the cables
and do other sort of things. Was looking for elegance and more symmetry. The
objective was to put midbass channel between the main horn islands and set the
horns, the midbass and LF in ...

Jorge, your comment about
the physical instability of the pipe stack is well taken. I think if it is gone
from metal then it is possible to make it steady. In the way how Antony want to
do the pipe feet I think it might be possible to run guy wire...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...

[quote user="Merlin"] I have … yet to hear a bass unit that can provide the low end quality whilst still allowing a first order slope. Unless we are happy to accept copious quantities of 2nd Harmonic of course. I would love to know of one.[/quote]

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

My 18-cell is a classic 18-cell very similar of the one that the guy from Sweden built:

The difference is that my multicell has 3 extra cells and out...

I picked recently a pair of S3 drivers. Not that I need them but it was good deal – perhaps someone in UK have demolished an old movie theater and a large school of S3 drivers with original diaphragms hit the maket recently. Also, I always meant to t...

This is very interesting, I was thinking of such an option given the existence of a basement, (I do not have that luxury, but I have a concrete slab).
The idea that the driver is actually closer to the...

After a few agonizing days I think a have decided for a provisional
