[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy, in the contrary, it is very unfair to compare my 845 amp with the 6C33C. The main reason is the 845 amp used the best output/interstage transformer available, while the 6C33C's output xformer is pretty good but far from b...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

With all magnificence of the new 924++ DAC it have entered the second week of the Nichicon KZ playbook. It was completely predictable and highly expected and now the DAC sound very funny.
The bass is fully developed already. The DA924 always was phe...

... as I also found something VERY similar, Roman... the truth is in the sentence "... bass-shy in full range..." as a full-range cable is equalized for 20-20khz and - you'll agree on this - the ULF frequencies of your system aren't so common, around...

Hi Murat,Personally, I would re-think the tapped horns being physically incorporated with the rest of the system. To start, from what I understand (I don't use a tapped horn) because they use both the front and the rear of the driver for sound, they...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Are you suggesting : 1) Running the upper bass horn from a second ML2 ? 2) Running the lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) from a second ML2 ? 3) Running both the upper bass horn and lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) ...

[quote user="Jorge"] Lets just say that TH bass is much cleaner and generates a different "bass sensation" in the room. Once you get used to it, it is very difficult to go back to boxed bass.I find the sound similar to what a Mid bass horn woud pla...

I do not exactly understand what you are proposing at DiyAudio site. I have generally an attitude against dipole radiation, and particularly in bass. There is a common believe among audio people that dipole bass has advances, there was a lot of said ...

Rowuk, I did not read how Bob does it I do not think that what he does has anything to do with bass. I would be surpassed if it was. I mean, bass plays a lot of role in phase randomizing and in many other aspects of imaging, but I do not think that ...

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What am I saying? You might consider building a pair of "end of life" lower-bass channels now…[/quote] I would like to accent this point again. The "end of life" lower-bass channel in my view is not some kind of very well...

[quote user="Merlin"] I have … yet to hear a bass unit that can provide the low end quality whilst still allowing a first order slope. Unless we are happy to accept copious quantities of 2nd Harmonic of course. I would love to know of one.[/quote]

It is interesting: I am running now Zarathustra amp with my woofer towers, line-level crossed at 90Hz with fist order. Everything is very fine bass-wise, with very minute touch of dominating smoothness. To my surprise the typical upper-bass har...

Since having replaced the 16 Ohm drivers in my upper-bass horns with 8 Ohm versions of the same driver, I gained enough upper-bass output that it is now possible to run all horns from the 8 Ohm taps (I was previously running upper-bass from the 16 Oh...

Actually it is very interesting question and I almost feel you pain for decision you will be making. I do not think that anyone would be able to express any arbitral opinion about the subject, as least an opinion that worth to follow. You see, buildi...

First: Anyone with a pair of 8 Ohm Fane Studio 8Ms for sale may contact me (contact info available by clicking on my user name in the blue column on the left of the page).In answer to Romy's comments: I agree that there is a deterioration in sound qu...

Roman,In one of the recent posts you mentioned that you've found an acceptable solution for delay of bass, mid-bass horns .Is it only conceptual or you have something practical ? I'd like to add mid-bass channel to my Klipshorn bass-bins to take them...

In reference to:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=1414
I had recently a guy in my listening room and he asked me if it would be possible to get the 300Hz range in the way how it sounds in my room but without using those larger uppe...

[quote user="Paul S"]Scott, is it your specific aim to configure an enclosure to "effectively" lower driver Fs? While this, along with an exponential increase in power, is a proven strategy for generating ULF, it seems like this approach creates more...

[quote user="skushino"]Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use yo...

Merlin here is the Stereophile measurements on the Lamm ML2.1http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1004lamm/index4.htmlAs you can see the rise in distortion vs. frequency shows only a small rise in distortion even down to 10Hz. This is an indica...

Facing similar issues, until confirmed or disproved by experimentation, the following represents my view:Situation 1):Mid-bass horns aimed generally TOWARD listener's ears: Alignment of the DIRECT OUTPUT of the horn for time arrival to listening poin...

As I already have written before, I was looking at different bass solutions for frequencies below 110hz with my set-up. As of this weekend I have set-up a new solution and will be evaluating and fine tuning it for the coming days. The new bass sectio...

There are very many totally not predictable things in bass horns; I would not go into enumeration of them – what the point? However, keeping the thread in context if it’s subject I would note that the objectives and reference points of the horn owner...

I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]….as of now I'm convinced that a compression driver is the best way to go for fast, detailed and dynamic bass. The compression ratio needs to be just right, and the horn needs to be right, when these two are working together p...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...
