Johan, I understand what you are saying. This is kind of James’ barn thread and if you do not mind can you share with him one thing, I think that many others, including me, would be interested to learn the answer to this question: What did you gain g...

Romy Hi, which drivers should I be looking at/ listening to , friends of mine ( whose ears I respect ) like the TAD drivers, the GOTO and ALE are too expensive, I know you use the Vitavox, thanks in advance ,Keith....

Apparently, ALE will come out with it own loudspeakers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmdDvYW7kwECheers!...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox site went live at 9 a.m. this morning. It has very interesting implications for the compression drivers landscape in that it suddenly makes buying a hi...

Stefano,
I do not have any strong objection regarding to what ALE do. Bent bass horn are more evil then straight horn but considering the small throat of the ALE drivers and their desire to make it to work low the length of the horn become to...

It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE builds, but of the owner's design...

Hi Anthony,
trying to copy a known good solution - too little time for experiments recently.[/quote]Well, Romy had great results with the Placette and his Dannoys, so that is the known good solution as far as I am con...

[quote user="de charlus"]What I wish to do is to take the Cessaro Gamma for my model, substituting Vitavox and Ale drivers for the TAD ones that Cessaro employ due to the (I believe) greater musicality of the former, and using the Acapella tweeter in...

Thank you for giving this matter your attention. Jorge, I was intending that the AK151 be employed within a horn. Further, once I had settled upon the driver compliment, it was my intention to retain the services of Jeffrey Jackson, since I am not su...

[quote user="de charlus"]Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far fro...

Hi Roman...Yes, I liked it, as I liked Audio Tekne's (always based on A.L.E. drivers, by chance...), but because I "felt" - more than hearing - the superb quality of emission, the smoothness and naturality of the music when passing through these dri...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

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 ...

When you get a horn that will work i will trade for a couple weeks!I don't think wide band drivers are the ideal way to do things but the most cost effective way to injoy good sound i would like to make another pair to crossover from 3k to 10k.some...

The point of the field coil is to saturate the piss out of the magnetic circuit so that the coil flux does not modulate the motor. Romy, I suspect that your experience of them may be based on an older drivers where saturation was not the name of the ...

I would start with the freq from 60 hz to 10 khz. If you already decided to use the Vitavox S2 and AK-151 get those and start using them in that range, it will take a long time to get them perfectly settled. Will you use the AK-151 inside a b...

Anthony, I do not know anything about them. I used Jensens, Altecs, EVs, Ears, Shelters, Grahams, UTCs, S&Bs, Otophones, Tamuras, Denons, Cotters, ET, Siemenss, Sowters and few others no-name transformers and I can comment of them. I only heard a...

Thanks, twogoodears. I do not particular care about the frequencies cut-offs as I do not know the ALE drivers. If I speak with the system owner in context of what you say then I would post 3 questions: 1) What specific limitation or shortcoming of...

Datubie,
I do not think you should have a lot of expectations from Japanese GOTO office. I do not know how about the drivers but I would doubt their practical experience in system engineering. Their exponential trumpet horns are very poor. Their “r...

This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

When many of your will experiment with building and listening your own horns and spend countless amount of time by sketching a configuration of your new horn assembly you then might come to an observation that Macondo Upperbass topology is very s...

user="jackydai"]My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent
right from the entrance of phase plugs. In this sense, not even Bruce and Sam

[quote user="MINGSU"]Have you use GOTO dirver before? Have you try it with the "GOTO" recommendation? Have you listen to GOTO in your own system? If not, I suggest that you do it 1st and then draw your own opinons then. GOTO never said don't worr...

I would like to add to my previous posts that the situation I described above made virtually imposable to correlate experiences of different people have with different drivers. If you for instance use your JBL driver and I use my TOA driver for the s...

Paul, Thanks!Yes, I had got the Romy point. I am just too obstinate to get that thing done but indeed I am still considerate a standard system as start point too. My problem with that, buy a standard one before, were I always try to avoid to have to ...
