I do not care about the room treatment at this point. The treatment
you use looks like very effective but it is very premature in my mind to think
about it. It is not to mention that the
contribution the treatment has to LF frequency response is ...

[quote user="Antonio J"] INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. [/quote]

Ok, it turned out that I had all caps and coils "in stock" necessary to adjust the filters very close to Romy's recommendations.Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet rea...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

Thank you Clark for your comment.Unfortunately, I think that you missed the point. It is possible that a power cord can change things. The description „better“ is a moving target however. Let us take for example a „full range“ driver in a backloaded ...

Hi Jessie!
I’m probably suggesting the obvious, but have you tried adjusting the crossover component values on the fundamentals and MF-channels? On the fundamentals-channel, increasing the inductor-value, and decreasing the cap, so tha...

Scott,
I do not particularly like many of the ideas that you presented in here and, in my view, some of your movements you are planning are faulty. Your dissatisfaction of the Edgarhorns upper-bass is too wide-ranging and not well-interpreted ...
|
|
Within my site I many times stressed the importance of upper bass region for sound reproduction. I always said that with the improperly sounding 200Hz -400Hz any further "fidelity" of Sound becomes imposable. Ironically the 200Hz-400Hz is the most co...

[quote user="drdna"]I find the sound of my horn loudspeakers very satisfying, and by the way I have the EdgarHorn Titans, which may make you chuckle if you are a horn snob, but I think they do a very good job, one of the best commercially available h...

Two of my local audio folks asked me to put online my thoughts
process about my listening room. Here are some basics. Yesterday, messuring my
room I got the following response in lower octaves. That is a typical response in
rondom rooms, or wh...

This weekend wife told me that I should not do nothing else

good 14 hours to play with it, moving boxes, trying to find a good
configuration, making measurements, th...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Have you ever tried the Community M4? I'd still like to try this driver.[/quote]Yes, I think we had a convesation about in the “The Macondo’s Upper Bass Channel: what is next? “ thread, I have linked it to current thread. ...

I spend quite a few hours playing with the new channel trying to ingrate into Macondo but so far not successful.
Since the new channel and the Macondo upperbass horn have identical sensitively and identical impedance I figured that I would drive it...

[quote user="i_should_coco"] ….so I was thinking one pair from 350Hz to say 3Khz, the second pair from 3kHz to 12kHz (which I belive is pretty much the upper limit for the S2) and probably a tweeter above that. [/quote]
Pete, I feel that the more re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think it is about right. The 6C33C for upper base has 100K
biasing resistor and 20K to ground in Lpad. That would make ~60Hz. This high
pass that unload the LF from the horns that it can’t handle is very important
as y...

[quote user="anthony"]This is excellent
information Romy. I have been worried about crossing the woofers at 100Hz
and would be much happier if I was able to cross them lower. We will see
how everything integrates into the room and if I do need t...

One of the challenges I see for my midbass horns is to minimize hf output. The goal is to operate the horn in a bandwidth where it can cross to the higher horns, and have each horn function in their best sounding manner. My drivers are Altec 515-16...

A friend stopped by tonight when I was test-listening my midbass horn. He got freaked out from the size of the thing. I played for him some Gerhard Oppelt’s organ recordings. He told me that I am crazy, like I do not know it myself. Anyhow, he made a...

As I said above your you "experienced today with GOTO" is just your transitional
feeling and you will change this feeling many times. To accommodate a pair of 42Hz
horn in a system is a year-long project otherwise you get an accidental result.
