My room, is 16 to 17 feet wide, 27 to 28 feet long by 12 to 14 feet high with all walls splayed, with a combination of absorption and diffusion on the walls. All electronics are fed electricity by three pure power units originally recommended by Rom...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

Romy,
I'm very pleased to learn that you've got your Injection Channel done.
I assume the above illustration is not indicative of the way you have the Tannoy Red aligned with regard to the other drivers, as it appears to be sitting out in front...

I always say do not stress them they do not like it and I always hate third bass. The 10” are particularly are fragile with a power handling of a few watts. It is applicable pretty much to any lover MF driver that pushed to work with the “open b...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]One of the emails that I receive is very interesting. The author warns: “...when experimenting with throaths I found that if the compression is big, near 2 or higher you get some big, smooth, unfocused aqualung sound. You...

Yes, it's might be interesting. I was thinking about it when I had both systems back to back. It was superbly interesting time for me. The decisions to remove Macondo from my listening room was a result of unadulterated anger I felt because in my...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

Howdy all,I have been playing with the Dunnoy concept since Romy discovered it and I agree that it is a very good improvement for Tannoy bass.Dunnoy with reverb injection is a phenomenal experience. I have gold drivers not red but I tried both 10s an...

Hy Paul, I agree with your comment about the tone of the passive radiator if it runs to the mid range. This is the point of the SS8565. the combo of the crazy stiff cone and the special surround works phenomenally well to stay linear. It is even bett...

tarted to mount the open baffle for ULF channels at my
attic. The system is fully operational,
not time aligned yet to the degree that I would like it to be but I'm going to
tell you: that Tannoy Red 10 is something that makes everything so sweet...

I kind of disagree with Adrian. The wire, the coupling caps, the cathode resistors and many other things are superbly important but it is after the strategic topology is settled. In my view caps, resistor, wire and other things are responsible for th...

I closed up the amps and moved it to the default operation position, right along with it all Dominus cables and so on. I played just mono music and was very interesting where I will find myself with this amp Sound. The right channel still was s...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

[quote user="drdna"] Fundamentally I think the injection channel and layered sound are different things. The injection channel is designed simply to compensate for the timbral shortcomings of a particular driver. However, because of lobin...

Well, I was thinking about that “Resonating Oops” for a while. I made quite a number of experiments. I some cases I was able to get interesting results but the “Resonating Oops” is very illusive. I do know that many readers of my site have wrong perc...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

It is very uncommon, practically never happens but still very rarely it is possible to talk about sound or playback systems from a prospective of “absolute tone”. Yes, the audio people love to take about tone of their audio but in 99.999% those audio...

My idea of Dunnoy loudspeaker took an interesting turn. I would like to capitalize upon what I discovered above an to vandalize my woofer towers, factoring Tanoy Red in it. So, it will ended up with Reds working in a half of wolfed towers w...

user="anthony"]Turns out the Red 10" pair I purchased from

partial refund for that dodgy transaction and e...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

I changed the crossovers to the UK ones and made some measurements on my Dannoys. The crossovers are set to the Standard treble mode (I guess that is position 2 on the original Tannoy grey box crossover) and no 3kHz notch filter. Green curve - Le...

Jarek, I know exactly
how you feel. There is some magic in 10 Read loaded passively to ScanSpeak
SD1 motor with paper cone. The ScanSpeak with this semi-rubber suspension
are not the neutral drivers but they have very pleasant, at least ty my ears...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

[quote user="stevie7V"]… they can be used effectively in parallel with the main speakers and running about 5 or 6 dB quieter. I use them with a separate amplifier and adjust the volume until I 'just can or can't hear them'. At this level,...
