Mats,
Actually I do not exactly understand what you are trying to accomplish. The Altec midrange after 4uF will roll at 3.5kHz-5.0kHz, depending of the type of coil you use. If you cut the MF channel so high then I would ask why you do so and why yo...

The weak bass of low-power SET amps is well known. I don't think anyone would disagree.Some reasons:Simple low power, especially with 93db speakers (try with 106db like Yorkville LS1208 horn subwoofer it might be different).SE output transformers hav...

Mani at al. I have a paid of zu druids. Running them with 15W amp (d-class) and it is not enough for high level, although it does better than you expect. The soundstage sensitivity measurement was 97dB, but their test did not load the driver correctl...

would be finding midbass and midrange drivers with a similar character which allowed a good integration between them. Once I knew the drivers I might desing the horn (glubs, not so easy) and ask a skilled professional to build it for me, not impossib...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

As the builder behind these horns, I can answer some of your questions. It's true, I was primarily focused on the woodworking/building side, and now I'm experimenting with amplification and crossovers. I can't speak authoritatively on those subjects...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

No, i really did mean a 4592nd midrange - it is a OEM version that I think I bought from assistance audio. There are various reasons I'm crossing over at 3k (more like 2500hz now) - first, the horns are 250hz and therefore too deep for high treble wi...

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[quote user="noviygera"]1. Let's say
the my original back chamber from the manufacturer is a good "starting

chamber volume are very important and audible, in other words th...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

It hard at this point to sat anything defiantly about the Super Melquiades sound. Positively to derive the speakers directly from amp with no speaker-level crossover does provide multiple and multiple benefits. So, Even if to subtract all other “diff...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...to hear it from a person who advocates a single driver approach :-)[/quote]
Hahhaha, if
you call the combination of 4x23” + 4x15” + 12”+ 8” +2” a single driver
approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

I spent many hours listening and experimenting, trying to change the signature of my mid-base channel. Everything that I'm trying suggest me that I am in at very right direction but I am still not server I would say freeze the system and do not t...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, you are right. Power – you have almost unlimited power. Dynamics – you have as much dynamics as you want. But there are a lot of associated problems with that kind of dynamics. The following illustration is taken by ...

Anthony, it feels like more of less comprehensive solution.
I like that you make the mid-bass horns to have the same externals profile as lower
midrange horn, this is making is visually very complete. If it was mine, then I
would use less gloss on...

Part 2 – Description and explanation
Anyone who have ears and a rudimental mind to understand what ears register, and anyone among them who played with MF channels driven by SET, know that subject of SET loading is imperative.

Yes, they are spherical, wish means not rectangular. ...
