[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. Whenever I encounter Bruce Edgar he always strikes me as a courteous and serious guy trying to offer value for money, high performa...

Well, I would say listen to everything and make up your own mind.And you should select speakers that match your room and the rest of your stereo. Blah blah blah.I was going to say most folks here have built their speakers. Then I realized...

It is interesting… complaining about the fact that the “promising to be claver” Cessaro Horn using the TAD drivers (still it is not completely known as they said that that MD driver cost €4000) I asked myself: what else they might use? Really, ...

[quote user="drdna"]Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that ...

Actually, for me it works differently. I do not read a lot about horns and try do NOT learning anything about horns. I very much do not take seriously also most of the things that people talk about horns on internet. People run mouth on any subject ...

Hi Romy,When you visited our room, you played 3 pieces of music on our 1000 dollar speakers.All were nice recordings, one was Saint Saens 3, one was a very contemporary sounding piece of 17C Harpsichord? and I can't remember the third although I did ...

Surely one of the objectives of this site is to allow people to be guided towards good sound by discussing the issues involved in getting there. Whether that entails discussing the merits of different recordings or performances or whether it entails ...

Yes, I understand what you are communicating t...

Stephano Two good ears has put a post on his site about his new 4 way passive xover.I think this is a better direction than the digital xo. The designer, Thomas, designed also the preamp and I guess he has taken into consideration the input and ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, can you in subjective trims describe what do you feel is wrong with your sound. disregard the speakers and channels, tell juts your pure reaction to what it is. The cat[/quote]Romy, I now see you were asking a totally d...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Ok, so imagine I'm someone living in the US with a keen interest in playing my collection of CD's and LPs. I need some speakers priced between 5000 and 10000 dollars to go with my 25 watt tube amp. I won't buy Edgars becaus...

I spans last night some time measuring all my Vitavox 15-incers drivers, inspecting them, matching them and trying to find perfect pair. I would probably get involve in Ménage à trios and will sleep with them if I were able to arrange it. Since the ...

Hi Romy - Yes, the sub is Bruce's seismic. It is big as a refrigerator, and the idea of having 2 huge boxes in this little room is, well, intriguing.... Being new to subs, isn't there an obvious danger of over loading this little room wit...

When you guessed ESD or my employees were doing copies or cheapie, when u doubted we just embraced some of the Bruce’s idea like a thief before knew nothing abut my company & my team, I kept silent. I just told you politely that we co-operated wi...

Hi Paul,The Cogent diaphragm I have seen pictures of was woven carbon fiber with a leather outer surround. I have never listened to a Cogent 1428 but they must sound very good, at least Bill Woods and Bruce Edgar say so.Besides their overall ultra cl...

Acousticians drool all over themselves with subjects like this - something not supported anywhere in the entire history of pitch. History shows a constant climbing of pitch - much of it based on the development of wind instruments. Trumpets, flutes, ...

Bruce told me last year that he started to manufacture 80Hz straight horns to replace his 80Hz. I was under impression that you refer to it.
Anyhow, if your midbass horn is fine then one of the most effective ways to get it even better is to reduce...

[quote user="NBC"]Hi Romy, Since you have certain opinions on TAD/Beryllium sound, Im curious: 1) Which TAD drivers you evaluated (2001, 2002, 4001, 4002, 4003) ? 2) With what Fc horns? 3) With what horn materials? 4) With what Xovers? [/quote]Neil,&...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]One issue that I would consider is that the Tractrix profile supposedly does not lend itself aswell to extremely low frequency horns (being too short) as other profiles in particular the Hypex (Salmon) shape. [/quote]
Yep,...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Thanks for the info about transformers. It is as I expected, however, that these passive devices are not passive sonically at all. I agree with you that the higher quality of the transformers should lessen the effects ...

You might change your mind after you put the PP2000 into the game. Anyhow, I do not know what Bruce did with his Titans tweeter; I do not even remember it they are in time-aligned position. The EdgarHorn Titans uses Fane ST-5022 bullet tweeter. I had...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it happens ONLY in the inhalations with improperly integrated drivers. The entire subject of the “improper integration” shall get rid of this possibility. I know that you use EdgarHorn and what I heard it at its best I did ...

I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it needs to be measured. I dis...
