Now that you mention it, I'm not experiencing any of those distortion problems with this setup.The "breaking glass" sound seems to appear mainly when I'm listening to bandwidth limited speakers though.I have also noticed that it's only my left ear th...

Yes, a cheap inductive l-pad between OPT and S2 in midrange channel. Interestingly, the frequency response of the first order Lazy Ribbon is remarkably similar to a response you posted somewhere on this site of the Water Drop with third order filter...

A DSP is a great tool for modelling crossovers. It lets us experiment with a lot of things with no additional costs. There is a sonic hit, but far lower than "guessing" at crossovers.What seems to get the most traction here is using inherently well b...

I note English Mfgrs tried low power ribbon Midrange horns in the 50's (Decca, Kelly & Quad also made one!).These were probably inspired by the hi pwr prewar? Klangfilm ribbon horn (would like to hear one of those!) But, after Peter Walker moved ...

This makes a lot more of sense to me. I understood you wrongly and I believed that the product "as is" and a priori can be interesting as a whole. I think that the design is interesting for the horn implementation, the horn themselves (look quite sol...

Steve Schell and I are currently using Le Cleach horns in our system, The more I listen to them, the more I like them. They sound slightly less directional and beamy than a tractrix, and overall an extremely pleasant sound. W...

Sorry for reviving this thread without a good reason, but there is something I wanted to add to my comments about amplification. Recently I heard this system http://www.hornfabrik-eder.de/ which was driven by an old Telefunken studio amp. O...

I use regular Lowther DX4 (ENABLED) . I don't think the 250-400 is stellar and I'm still waiting for the extension to try small throat for lower midrange (2,75") (B&C 8P21E driver) for 200-1000Hz . Here is Martin's opinion on the ...

Romy,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Remind you that horn
not only does that but it performs acoustic transformation gradually. [/quote]
Yes, I do
agree with you about that. From both theoretical and practical point of view it
is 100% true. But...

All that I will be saying are the subject of my own experience with horns and my personal observations. You shouldn’t agree and most likely you will not. That is fine with me. I have lot of reasons behind what I will be saying and opened for some cla...

[quote user="floobydust"]As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on your amplifier or preamplifier then it should be obvious that you have more gain than you need. If you're p...

user="rowuk"] I would not even think about a HF solution until you
are happy with the mid/upperbass and midrange. [/quote]
That was very loaded statement
but how a person with not a lot of listening experience to become happy with mid/up...

[quote user="cv"] Well, the Cogent (Steve Schell and Rich Drysdale) boys are building just such a beast: field coil magnet, (possible) permendur polepieces for >2T, Fs 70Hz, throat - dunno, but at least 3" dia, reduced compression ratio relative t...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a som...

The really serious piano players I know either ignore it or buy a different piano. I have NEVER worked with a pianist that tried to make a piano something it currently wasn't. I think that when you are obcessed with your playing there are no syna...

I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

Well, I loved, loved it loved it… but today I decided to experiment with integration the new horn into the system and learned that it would be far much complicated and take more efforts. Below are 3 sweeps form listening position, Firs is the new hor...

[quote user="morricab"]It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. Personally, ...

Paul, Points well taken. The F120A is listed as a FR driver. In my humble view, it does quite well for it's size, albeit the last two octaves will not be in full force (okay, the last octave is mostly MIA). It's lower sensitivity does not ...

Didn't you first become aware of MF "problems" when you got everything else working better via the PP2000, and the MF wound up dropping back to weak sister status with respect to system-wide PP2000 benefits?But how often is a "serious" (and ever-evol...

Looks like Wilson hit the ground running about 20 Dec. 2016, with a flurry of quickie "reviews". Here's a link to the Absolute Sound roll-out/"review":http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/first-listen-to-the-new-wilson-audio-modular-monitor-wamm...

actually this is not so much about horn loading ribbons as it is about curving them, but also horn loading. look at this horn: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_3442/35960TH-4003_s.jpgnow imagine a ribbon of approximately sam...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Roman, could you (or enybody ) elaborate a little bit on JBL L8 and its application ? Not so much sensible info on the net besides that its a fullrange usefull in 40Hz-8kHz. [/quote]I do not know, how can I elaborate if I never ...
