Back to 2006 I had a thread “Adding one more spherical to Macondo.” The thread itself and the concept that it lead to - the Fundamentals Channel - turned to be a phenomenal success. I know, I know for someone it might appear like nothing but if y...

Hi Romy,
I am planning my own DSET build. I have based my speakers on your Macondo and
am busy turning MDF horns in my spare time.
Once that is over I will move onto amplifiers. I plan to build a fullrange Melquiades for a
friend and the...

[quote user="anthony"]I plan to
build a fullrange Melquiades for a friend and then if that works out the DSET 6
or 7 channel version for myself. [/quote]
That is very good approach in my view. The
problem is in this approach that you have t...

Looking at the variety of exponential, parabolic, conical, tractrix, hyperbolic and whatever ales horn profiles out there I was thinking that we probably incorrectly approach the entire subject of horn profile analyses.
We listen the horns and we fe...

Disclaimer: I love listening to experienced people. However I do not do everything they say. I would like to hear them as it can direct me and save me some resources like time and money and make me think of things I have missed and ...

[quote user="Dominik"]I print almost all posts from this site. For last months I study them a lot. I completly suck in by Romy vision of sound reproduction. First I decied to build melquiades amplifier and give it a try with my ob setup. Next ste...

[quote user="Ronnie"] The room modes I thought I had to battle suddenly disappeared the other day when I decided to try stuffing the boxes a bit. Suddenly everything fell into place :-)I guess I can do better than using little cushions though... Do y...

My COVID-19 brain fog has finally lifted. I have been using HORNRESP as the gold standard for horn design. Upon reflection I forgot that we ultimately listen to the sound produced and not the beautiful computer simulated SPL profile. So I ...

[quote user="cv"]AlloI had a theory that the bug screen was helping to damp horn modes/refelctions caused by a mismatch between the S2 internal flare and the horn flare rate. I have 340Hz flare JMLC horns, which may be expected to give less of a mism...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Make an experiment, and I will simplify the case quite assertively. Take a typical compression driver, cross it at 800Hz, second order and load it into a proper contemporary horn (Tratrix or JMLC) of 300Hz. Listen that hor...

hi Romymy name is Angelo. I am swiss/italian, live in brazil the last 10 years . I grew up assisting my father buiding speakers and comercialize them in small numbers. I where listening for many years on Klipschorn replica with altec 416-8b...

[quote user="mjloudspeaker"]
My idea is a upright horn like your "midbass hanging thing", at 200 hz for the smaller size of it, and this will be my work for 2009/10. What I would like is exponential curve, not tractrix horn, something like this one...

At first I plan to power the thing SET, with a known, existing amp (a triode wired EL84) which I've already built and know the Sound. It is not bad, but a little "warm" sounding (second harmonics, and is low powered for low frequenci...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]It is interesting to note that the evaluation tool shows lines radiating perpendicular to the curve at any given point, just as the sound wave is supposed to be oriented as it progresses along the horns length. [/quot...

Collin,
I do not remember that I wrote that Trios are “duller”. In fact I do not remember I ever wrote anything about Trios in comparing to my current hors. Furthermore, my “Macondo” derived for the Trios and practically fully inherited the Trio’s ...

I think it is very interesting subject and I’m looking for first hand opinions by people, using properly sounding upper bass horns in their listening rooms. I’m not interested in theoretical opinions – only by opinions, coming from personal listening...

As another of the contributors / perpetrators i have to chip in too.It's my Raal's, S2's and stands that can be seen.Great project and fun to do and as Adan says it opened some eyes. Others seemed to have little or no time for it, as it is incomprehe...

This is an interesting metal exercise – what would be the most beneficial for audio public and what would be “signaturial” for a manufacturer. Since the company do not turn the horn as most of the people do but use CNC machine then it would be very i...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

[quote user="koh123"]
I am going to show two different simulations for a 105Hz
tractrix horn with the same 8”driver (B&C 8PE21). The parameter
values for these two simulations are quite different. However the
simulations predict the same...

Hi Romy and othersI am in the initial stage of planning a new home, which will have a dedicated music room. I noticed Romy in another thread you were impressed with the rough stone walling. This looks like a great way to disperse reflections. What I ...

Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

Hi Romy. Confused by your statement i flipped a few pages back and just noticed you changed / corrected your opinion along the course. So you're back to white polyester? I have 6 different dia's in my storage, all different surrounds, but did not ...
