...you are too categorical and are on the boundary to be phanatical... Everybody and his ears. You can be sure I listened and owned many kinds of amps and my friend built some 40-50 non-Sakuma amps before he began with trans coupling and built anothe...

I am using them with 200 w/channel SS amp in very large sealed cabinets. The room they are in is quite large and the honey bass has been less of a problem than the MF tone. When I play my bartoli baroque CD (live in italy), dynamics...

[quote user="starboy"]… though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers.. [/quote]I am playing now with something similar. I have a small sealed monitor 14 by 24 with an unavoidable 10” Re...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]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 of them (?) [/quote]

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, What happens when you use the injection channel with inverted polarity?[/quote] Unsuccessful. My Injection Channel (Tannoy 10” Red) is too with bandwidth and even at minus 10db is “talks” with HF channel of Macondo, which do...

Bill, you have made lots of changes in a "short" time period. I hope you kept track of all of it. Knowing nothing about your sound, I can only repeat that Romy said the Dannoy sonic fulcrum was the interaction between FR Tannoy and "passive" Scanspea...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

I have about 50 old "special" drivers, and I have wrecked quite a few trying to make them "better". It's slow and imprecise going without manufacturing capabilities. I have successfully replaced surrounds and spyder using "factory" or "factory replic...

Well, Tannoy tuned all their 10" monitors to play reasonably well down to about 50 Hz. Their monitors I heard were all variations of ported, with some of their "newer" monitors (70's?) using the ports to create more apparent bass, and those monitors ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]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 b...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

This weekend I discover interesting phenomena on which I did not pay attention before. The Montrealian Charles Dutoit conducted this weekend Boston symphony. I was listening the broadcast, recording it as usually. It was very bad. The BSO wind sectio...

I hope you do find some amplification that works, or new "way" of using the tannoy, as these driver still have several tricks up their sleeves, especially when compared to the hordes of mass crap that's for sale. What you refer to as the "deen ...
|
|
I am thinking that there is an explanation and it has to do with a narrow sweet spot, where the large system sums properly with reduced amount of chaotic room reflections, with a smeared timing. I noticed a similar effect with my system and if I redu...

I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible. I could spend more money for "different" transformer, but I will ask you for advice on...

I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 2205 (200w/channel). Otherwise I am a...

There are those who claim to drive some of the big vintage speakers with SETs at AA. Like those ancient top models from University, Wharfdale, Tannoy, etc., etc. Not that this is the same as an objective approach.I've heard it tried ...

[quote user="vuki"]Hi,Mr. Hiraga said (and it's also in the promo-flyer) that he uses modified GreatPlainsAudio coaxial, although the one in the speakers that were playing music looked more like original Altec 604 (because of the multicell horn). So,...

I hear you, Romy, too many other things going on to do this full time, like "the old days". To save time and effort, you could try to "repeat" the original Dannoy configuration (same gear and location) and hear if it is "repeatable". If not, you're d...
|

Thanks for sharing, Romy! "Micro" and "macro" "schematics" would be a nice adjunct, to show how you hook up electronics and speakers, as well as speaker positioning. Of course, lots of recordings are treated with synthetic reverb, so those are gettin...

In Macondo/Melquiades thinking, random process means random result - and that is exactly what happened with Dunnoy. A random driver was placed in a random cabinet with a random passive radiator and random cabinet damping. All subsequent attempts to r...
|
|
Yes, Jarek, I can see that, now that you mention it. Basically, then, it appears it would just eat low end, based on Q vs. other active speaker perameters. So, what would be the "theoretical benefit" of the added passive radiator be in the case you d...

You never were a user of this forum. All that you did was jumping at this site, looking a few pictures and then accusing others that you do not understated what you can’s not understated. Why do you think anyone should care? Perhaps sometimes you wil...

[quote user="Rewind"]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. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

[quote user="rowuk"]I really notice the absence of
any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be
getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be
located in the melody range. The problem ...

@N-set I was replying to pauls comment about giving up on blending passive radiators and trying to say I was surprised how effortless the 8565 integrates upwards into the tannoy but integrating down into another channel there is no hope. I think the ...
