Here is an interesting setup. It is nowhere in Moscow Russia. I did not hear it but it does not mean that we can’t analyze what the authored was trying to accomplish.
It is 3-way installation. Bass looks like dual G...

Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”....

[quote user="floobydust"] In any case, you bought an expensive pair of Fostex (F120A) drivers, never listened to them, had them modified with, what could be considered a controversial technique. You then put them in a simple box without a back, drove...

Ok, I think it is it. I close the experimental phase of the MiniMe projects as I have selected and feel comfortable with MiniMe results. The MiniMe Bass section is the very original MiniMe enclosure with the very same drivers as I plane from star...

Looking at Paul keep barking at the APS "success" I become to think what would constitute success in electricity battle. From one side the sonic result that PP2000 demonstrates is an indication that he battle is over. Is it? Sure the PP2000 as a devi...

Hi Daniel, great initiative! More of that :) Can you tell us more how u measured??Like loudness, distance, settings? I know that Fuzz likes to sweep too short (0.1 sec. logsweep) and allows many crappy windowing settings...Maybe a nearfield (close to...

In this exalted company its probably not up to much but I've not heard anything else demo-ed that makes me want to change. :)Front end: Vista laptop with XXHighend software (best sounding bargain in Hi Fi). Fireface 400 external soundcardDAC/Pre amp:...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "System Update 9/29/10"), Pham has...

I tend to think that we are not copying Romy, but more that he has generated a school of thought on audio and yes horns speakers also.I too have a system following some of the Macondo Axioms, but have used all diferent drivers.As with other drivers, ...

Romy,thank you for sharing thoughts on the 80Hz horn, giving honest opinion. So if the 80Hz horns are flawed design, I do not want to waste time to improve them. By the way, they are loaded with EVM15B drivers. I am now a bit perplexed on which rout...

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 ...

"Meant to be?"
With 100.5 dB efficiency in quarter space I plan to use a dedicated tube amp. Yes, some people use high powered amps to see how loud they can get Def Leppard, but I don't see any reason to. And some tapped horns...

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

i am well aware of the problems the 47 labs approach brings along with the good things it does.i have at times in my setups good results,in other setups disaster.47 and audionote use no digital/oversampling filter.this obviously can have negative con...

[quote user="Paul S"]Probably not news, but: http://www.supravox.fr/anglais/haut_parleurs/135_LB.htm Another one that at least looks the part.[/quote] Thanks, Paul. This Supravox 135 LB indeed looks like an interring driver for a project of mine. I h...

It’s a bit offtopic, but:[quote user="Paul S"] I haven't seen anything like this in over a decade, and I don't have the patience to wait until I find and acquire something like this, IF it exists. [/quote]The problem is that it does not exist… Simply...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...

OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.
I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be ...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...

2011 will be a busy audio year for me. I will have a nice large space 28 feet x 20 feet x 11 feet which I am free to modify for audio. The walls are 150 years old irregular stone the floor is cement and the ceiling is composed of structural...

Petar,I thought for along time how to reply to your post. All my thoughts basically narrow down to this. You're a soulful guy. There is nothing smart I can say to add or subtract to you findings but I think that the result you will finally get from y...

I'll try to make some comments on Feastrex Sound in this post. It is always difficult for me to isolate the sound of the individual parts I want to analyze. Like in this thread, which has partly evolved into the effect of all pe...

The full-rage single-driver acoustic systems is probably the most hated playback topology by me. It is irrelevant if you use $200 Fostex or you use a family reserved edition of AER driver for $64.000. The result you have the same: a horrible dynamic ...

Roman.
This last "venture " of yours is most welcome .A lot of of the people I know and most of the listeners from audio shows are always surprised when small monitors produce big bass and try to
impress with big sound. I never liked this "pushe...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

Yes, I know that 47 Labs and some Audio Note I belie do it but I never knew that they are Multibits, in fact I do not think that they are.

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

[quote user="cv"] I gather the Acapella plasma tweeters have a catalyst so you don't get the nasty oxides/ozone etc. Got some old ionofanes on the way so will know soon how well they freshen up the room... They are self-amplified so efficiency ...

I was pointed at a site where people debating the subject of 2A3 vs. 45 vs. AD1 vs. RN604 vs. YO168. Naturally they pointed out to my site, bringing my articles from this thread on the same subject as some kind of reference.
I read their comm...
