I'd like to ask if anyone sees and appreciable problem with the following.I'm trying to arrange a 4-way, 3 horns sitting on top of a big bass box. As I have it the 42cm midrange horn (800-8k) is in front of the 95cm lower midrange horn (250-800hz). T...

When i Moved in my new house in july 2000, it took me 6 months to get my speakers and general system togeather and working. The narrow band that your vitavox 15 inchers will be working in, how does that relate to your infinite baffle? 60Hz to 350Hz i...

Moreart, if you ask my opinion then let me to decide what is relevant. Your idea of “how” your horn work is self-delusional in my view as whatever you imagine you do go overridden by deficiency of your mouths and by other problems that your enclosure...

Since I learned today quite a bit about the Ralf’s horns I do not particularly have a lot of interest about the selection of his drivers but the stupid habit of the “derivers anonymity” is something that I do not like. I do understand when commercial...

I've been waiting for something to turn up on the wooden "horn/backhorn" speakers used by Ayon (at Newport Beach 2014) when I stepped in. I checked Ayon's webite and found out that Ayon offers their own line of speakers, none of which are the ones I...

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...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

I think we are all agreed that if time alignment and space were not issues, a bass horn would be the way to go.Now, I'm fairly convinced that the overwhelming benefit of horns in this range is the phase response, ie flat group delay vs frequency. Mos...

I believe that those "allien sounds" are an enhancement of the frequencies comprised in what is called the singer's formant, which is the area of the third formant when opera singers sing vowels. That area is in the range of 3.5 to 5.5 KHz and is a s...

[quote user="Wojtek"]So, what is the solution for a mono system? Also, I remmember that your mono experiments with field coild S2 produced honk .Should you use stereo drivers to get better results [/quote]Use stereo system to play mono, a properly ma...

Well a DEQX will cost you less than a set of good caps! you can buy one and play around with it for a couple of months and see for yourself, you will have fun anyway and thats what tis all about! You will need and extra preamp and 3 different amps...

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

Since the greatest differences in audio are among listeners, there is no need to argue whether such things are audible.However: While it no stretch to say from personal experience that such things are audible, it is very much a stretch to s...

When you say, your horns are 11feet apart, does this mean from acoustic centre line, or the outside perimeter of the upper bass horn. If it is from the outside perimeter of the upper bass horn you are having a similar setup with mine. When they are a...

Well, it is a given that I am not a horn guy right now to begin with. Of course, the "theater speakers" were and are mostly dinosaurs and/or mostly of historical/nostalgic interest. I just want to mention some excepti...

[quote user="drdna"]The idea of 360 degree radiation of sound has great intuitive appeal to me since I feel the best recordings are done with two omnidirectional microphones. The most precise reproduction of the musical event would seem to be: ...

user="jeff1225"]Romy,When you say that the Vitavox 15" was the
best midbass you heard, was it in a Vitavox corner horn? I'm think about
acquiring or building a pair of Vitavox corner horns as I have a perfect room
for them. [/quote]

[quote user="skushino"] I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is this correct?
Maybe you're right. But here is wh...

thanks I have a few questions to ask if you do not mind:
1) Did you experiment with surface of the horns and a negative contribution of smooth surface to Sound?Smooth surface are fine don't waste my time on a trival matters.

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

Romy, I re-read your comments a few times to better understand your feedback. I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is t...

Its funny you mention this because i'm experimenting with very cheap PC
speakers and these are pretty bad but its still amazing what they can
do with a good sub and some EQ.
So this cat also snifs a garbage can once in a while :)

[quote user="cv"] Did I ever mention my sulphur hexafluoride idea to you? You fill a horn with this gas, sealing the front with some loose fitting heavy grade mylar or whatever. The horn can then be 44% of the size you'd otherwise need. [/quote] Hm, ...

I stopped by today in a local warehouse and picketed a 4x 16” fiber pipes and 2 two 20”. I absolutely love the effect. As soon I brought the tubes to the room and took the cover off in the hall room turned to be much quieter at HF. I did not expect t...
