I’m new to this outstanding website and I found it has really educational value and antimoronizating information :)
I’m still in the world of direct radiators and I’m looking for the ultimate midbass channel solution. At this time it’s still impossi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] When I have my old transformer 11:1 then I had the midbass horns calibrated so perfectly that you can tune a large symphonic orchestra by it sound. It was spectacularly stop-on setting with any type of music if played it n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The subject of midbass nasal sound is very interesting. In addition to all OTHER aspects that might lead to midbass honk I would like to note that there is one that is in my view greatly overlooked – the precision of re...

Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers and drive your ULF amp w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

[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...

I though this would be answered elsewhere (AA) but Bruce Edgar did not reply. This question is important for me, maybe someone can help.When running an impedance sweep on the Edgar 80Hz horn some serious bumps showed up. (I ran the sweep because it s...

I really notice the absence of any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be located in the melody range. The problem is something I would pr...

I have identified a direction for my next speaker system. Whether it is a good one or not is a different topic -- I think it's a good one because I've lived with my current horn system for 10 years and have since developed an understanding of it's st...

I used to have Edgar 80hz straight horns and this was my only experience with short midbass horns. I did not like them in my system and sold them. Lately, I have been wondering about these designs in general and is there such a thing as a good soundi...

Romy, are you presently running a single or dual Vitavox 15" per side? I assume this is.run from a DSET channel? My room has a huge cancellation 60hz-100hz, broad and deep, and when I tried the Vitavox 15" drivers I could get two-fifths of stuf...

From the time of the insertion and setting the proper crossover my midbass is growing and growing, getting larger, deeper and better in all aspects. I am not kidding and now, when I have no ULF channels operational, it is very obvious. I can’t explai...

[quote user="green heron"] I'm happy with my results midrange on up at the moment, but I'd like more slam from the midbass horns. The backchamber may be a bit too large, so I'm planning to experiment with the cabinet volume. Do you have any su...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

I spoke recently with a friend of my and was trying to describe the sound of my midbass horns. I said that if Wagner was able to have his custom Bayreuth Tubas then why I am not able to have my Bruckner Midbass horns. I kind of like the metaphor that...

Quick answer before I have to leave for the airport..........
Romy, I agree with you that horns is a better sounding solution,
for myself it's the only way to go.
But only if one have the room for real size midbasshorns.
A lot of people have t...

Don't worry Romy, I know exactly what you mean. I tend to discount the opinion of anyone who raves about a system's ability to play back patricia barber. Speaking of which, if I were in her shoes, bunions and corns aside, I'd be mildly...

[quote user="serenechaos"] "I think the ultimate length of the upperbass horn is 3”- 4” throat. With longer horn it would be very complicated to time-align it as the horn will mask out the MF driver."
Is this also why you use tractrix curve f...
|
|
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Wow, 6 x 15" drivers (!!!); though the curved profile certainly imparts rigidity, I'm guessing this horn must resonate more than a bit (no bracing until the mouth) -- but I like this thing.
Interesting, the phase plug-lik...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]1) Set horns to fire all in same direction (will require some modification to the house)2) Move to a new house[/quote]Jessie, As I understand you in the middle of your midbass horn project were forced (or whatever reasons ...
|
|
Yes, it is certain in what I proposed there is majored disadvantage of having a suspended floor. A suspended is like a bad turntable – no matter what you do you would never be able to get proper lower octave. The idea to have horn firing from ro...

Jessie’s comments about my idea to position midbass straight horns from basement, upper- firing and his warning that the horn will get converted into a giant garbage can made me to think. I did not think about it but it is a reasonable concern. Hypo...

I need to say that with all huge advantages I have in my room with my midbass horns there is something that lost. I lost a great impulse response that I use to have on my old room with my direct radiating bass array covering up to 70Hz. I did not...

I was listening recently my Carl Schuricht’s Bruckner and I again noted what I am been noting for a while. I feel like my Midbass horns begin to sound a bit saggy. It is not too but and the degree of change is very minor. It is not even auditable...

[quote user="Macman"]Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I though...

First I want to say "Hello" to our host and to the other guests here.Sorry that I interfere here, but talking about PA inspiration and using PA parts in creative mode in dinning room, I can say that for about 15 years back I was starting my interest ...
|
|
Romy,I am considering a midbass channel similar to that you are currently using. The plan is to use the channel as a form of EQ to help rectify a large circa 40Hz room mode...bass cannons below the mode, midbass above the mode, and upperbass horn ab...
|
|
This is a very important question as since very beginning of the projects it was questionable if I would be able to get away with the back/top firing position of my midbass horn. So, as now, when the midbass horn project is over and horns fully i...

Since I started this thread I have received a number of emails from people bitching that I do not like this, criticize that and that they can’t figure out what I do like. I reply to them invariably – “Do not read my site as you are too much a Mor...
