Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

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...

I was pointed out to the fact the Magico has a new idea of their 5 way horn-loaded speaker. I did review the Magico former 4-way project, it was very bad:

I have not read this book (the wood effect) and if you have shopping link please sent it to me.I am not sure but It seems even amplifier speaker connection is important for sound.In past I have inverted the signal phase in my DAC and also inverted sp...

Plenty of theoretical problems at every turn, but is the R from thick wire really that important? Likewise, I am not sure of special/worse probems from iron core chokes, although I am aware of hysterisis as a theoretical problem.I am in no posi...

For people with less knowledge of Horns and wants to use them in smaller real estate is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor system/miniME type of speaker http://www.oswaldsmillaudio.com/Pro...

Hi Collin,The first thing my eye caught was the speaker-listener-speaker triangle with 60 degree opening on the listener side.I think this is a very arbitrary number, and that you may find your ears will prefer a narrower angle.I very consistent...

Is it too soon to talk about amps and X/Os, line or speaker level, active or passive, etc? If nothing else, it might save years to use a "board" to establish profiles, especially since the speaker positions will be fixed, and there are (almost) alwa...

[quote user="Wojtek"]These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ?...

[quote user="Gregm"]It doesn't seem prudent to look at the speaker without considering the amplifier at all. We would be designing a speaker that would work with a theoretical amp -- but not one that's available.[/quote]
You are right but the opposi...

While it is rare that any component under "review" will be panned outright, it is not uncommon for the "reviewer" to refer obliquely to the component's flaws. In some cases, the flaws may even be presented or offered up as "features", or it may...

I only hope it will not be a horn-loaded loudspeaker:http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/05/vaginal-speaker-foetuses-babypod-music...

A. Wahlsten,this speaker is very well suited for time aligning physically. The more "DSP corrections" that we add, the worse things get. In addition, DSP time alignment can only be useful for one seating position and distance from the speaker. It doe...

Moreart, somebody sent me this link last year. You are surely the DIY pioneer of back loaded Manger.As you probably know this is a touchy speaker to work with. Rated at 91 dB/W input by the factory, we measure ~91 up to near 92 dB/1W/1m in our two mo...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

Look here at the latest wavelet analysis of an EnABL'd speaker and an untreated speaker.http://planet10-hifi.com/mige-test/wavelet/index.htmlThe test is not important here, but the blink comparison might be just the ticket to show of where the si...

Romy, does it not make sense to integrate the speaker and amplifier physically, given they are so tightly integrated conceptually? After all the concept of DSET essentially makes an amplifier bespoke for a speaker, so the only reason for keeping them...

[quote user="morricab"] It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They ...

Thanks for this one Romy, very interesting...it sorta ties together several things that I have been thinking about lately. I guess I am lucky that the Bass Cannons can be run off 9w from the DSET bottom channel and from memory I get about 115dB at 1...

Dear Romy,Almost every audiophile I've seen think audio gear are like refrigerators, washing machine or any home appliance. You should justplug and play. At best they change interconnect or speaker cables and by A/B testing try to find out which soun...

I was reading a few days back a review of very popular audio reviewer of a very popular speaker. I could name the person and product but I do not want to give to them even negative publicity as they both are idiots. Anyhow, the review wax the poetry ...

Dear All,I wish to commence gathering the components and finding the craftsmen necessary for my DIY speaker project, but wished to bring my proposal before this forum in order to establish whether it's intrinsically worthy, and whether any simple imp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Considering the problem you described, it was pretty much, where I expected it to be. However your explanations are kind of sound strange to me. If your tweeter were out of phase with the rest of the drivers then it would ...

Just 1 attempt to explain dumb questions, then a sleeping pill:OK, mistook the interstage couplers for speaker level caps, as though all channels were single stage, and from there projected the "active" band pass at speaker level (wrong turn at ...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...
