[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Do I understand correctly: AG used Fane 8Ms in the Trios upper bass horn?[/quote] Oh, no! AG in Trio’s upperbass horn used similar 8” driver with 103 sensitivity. That driver was bad and it made me to look for a replacemen...

Jessie, I’m very ignorant in materialology but I have a “common sense” concern. I do not see that you imbedded into your plaster construction any tightening points from a stronger material. I mean: the holes in plaster – how strong you will be able t...

Hi Jessie.I haven't built anything like the project you are attempting although I have thought about such things. Sadly I don't have the space either! i'd definitely be interested in coming to hear it when its completed & working satisfacto...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] 6dB extra? Relative to what? [/quote]
Relative to the reference level of my MF channels. Look at the Chenal “B” of the the amp's schematics:

Jessie,
Unfortunately it is in my view it is absolutely imposable to predict anything juts based upon the CAD modeling. The entire criteria that you for founding the right positioning of your instantiation are wrong, at least in my view. You use the...

[quote user="Wojtek"] I heard that some audiopholes don't like to go to classical performancess because their gear just SOUNDS BETTER [/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There should be no danger in running the S3s down to 500Hz; I am currently running a pair of S2s (same diaphragm as S3) down to 450Hz, 1st order, no problem.
The system is in a room that measures around 80m² with a 3m-h...

Romy's quotes in blue:Daniel J. Plach's quote in green:"...The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn?..."Yes, it will be similar, but more robust; I have an idea for a locking-type seal, which I would pro...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In the case of a normal ranch style home (one level, no basement) out in the burbs, the attic is wasted anyway; you could put it to use, and if necessary, modify the roof, letting the drivers live up under decorative ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds,...

Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] The AK150 and 152 are not new creations dreamed up by Mike; they were made back in the day by Vitavox but nobody ever talks about them and I have never seen either. See the Unofficial Vitavox web site; AK150 = Catalog...

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

Jessie was very right talking about therapeutic influence of audio projects.
I do not know why buy I feel very much attached and really feel personally the various micro events that I are going on with my current 6-channel Supper Milq project. ...

Jessie, another thing is that there does not appear to be an actual "standard" tube pin diameter for a given species. Add to this the mediocre initial quality of the Lamm sockets and you have a less than ideal situation to begin with that cannot im...

I have been involved in moving several galleries and a museum and I can tell you it's all about the people, as opposed to how the company they work for bills itself. Big donors would have heart attacks if they saw how stuff gets tossed around and ju...

Thanks, msaudio, for sharing your experience with Aura and Hartley. I do not have Hartleyes. I heard them I think twice but person the people did not try to get out of their playback anything that I care, so it is hard to say anything. In contrary I ...

We should define some borders here; LF, when you have an UBH, should be from around 100 hz down to 30 hz, where the last fundamental tone of an instrument is played. ULF should be under 25-20hz.I would say that a driver playing 25-30 hz should...

Thank you Ulf and Jessie,
I can't wait to get this started. Jessie I am going to send this plaster spec to my supplier and see if I can find something close..
In the past I would use plaster for creating a wax form.. then put the wax form into a s...

Thank you for the lesson in metalurgy, Jessie (seriously). Actually I have no reason to believe that the bronze horn in question rings "like a bell" "when struck" in the same way a real bell rings when struck, so that does seem to put ...

Then I would mingle with the idea of custom 50Hz horn “for the room”. John looks like stick his trapped horns, Jessie made his horn that is in a way too good to be true. I do not have room for 50Hz but if I had then I would probably experiment with s...

Jessie, you can imagine that the output tube was hot at 59 watts. FWIW, I never go a month without checking OP, usually within 2 weeks, and in this case I had checked it less than a week before.The tube itself is the heat source, much hotter th...
