[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

Sorry if this is OT - I could start a new thread but my post is inspired by the quote below - [quote user="drdna"]the lathe-work is rough on some of the horns. [/quote]I can't decide whether that's good or bad. I'm slowly working up to getting ...

I have no idea what it is but it is something… Take a look:

It is 3 way horn loaded with external LF section, so far so good. Atop then have RAAL ribbon that ...

I have large midbass horns and midrange horns made by elevenhorns. I am still trying to figure out a stand idea. I've read many creative ideas but I still haven't found the idea that inspires me. I do like the all wood direction that Rakeshorn t...

If you read Danleys paper, you see that the lower you go in frequency, the more this device turns into a direct radiator. He just vents the HF drivers from the throat, more or less optimised, the midrange drivers a bit further out and the LF drivers ...

[quote user="Paul S"]The things I like best about a good wide-range driver are coherence and immediacy: like nothing else I know of, but awareness of the limited range quickly come to the fore.[/quote]Paul, my experience with wide range drivers is li...

I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

Ahm, I thought, that the midrange horn loses its directivity after 7000 and thats there I need the h-105. By the way its the only ring radiator from Coral. How can I add at the same time a first order 10k and 5k to the same driver? I always thought t...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...

[quote user="Jorge"]Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, ma...

Hi Romy,
Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405....

The topic is absolutely idiotic but it is what it is. For the last week I was trying alternative power cords for my PP3000. Not that I was looking for some kind of different sound but I was trying a heavy shielded power cord with 30A power receptacle...

I would not call them “bad”. They use very different magnets and meant to be used with higher power (with all negative consequences). You see the ceramic magnets are more or less OK for LF application but when a driver goes up and hits upper midrange...

Angelo, We should probably start a new thread to discuss horn construction in general, as this thread is about a specific aspect of that subject (driver to horn transition).To answer your question very quickly... As previously mentioned, I will ...

I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought t...

Romy:I was not aware that manufacturers of multidriver system let you attenuate individual drivers. I guess if you multi-amp, then you have control at that level. I have never encountered such a system so I cannot say, but if it is an option, then ye...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...

In regular off the shelf hi-fi system , be it a total lack of LF in your speakers or the "pinch" of dome tweeters or the midrange mud. Romy like all of us throws money on the problem and he usually chooses well regarded and expensive solutions. The...

n-set, I think the precisions of calibrations that are trying to accomplish is absolutely irrelevant and in a way self-serving. Individual cartridges have huge frequency deviation and the way how individual LPs were cut has huge frequency deviations....

Actually it was sad to hear potentially nice horn system wasted on mediocre music (at least that's what I heard at three different times I visited the room so it must have been a norm ) and grey sounding D-amps with "pumping " bass tubas. At least th...

It of course is hard to say anything about the midrange without hearing the speaker. LF and HF are surely standard yellow cone.It is cold in Germany this time of year. A GM100 amp would be an inefficient but beautiful heater in the 20 square meter ro...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

With all honesty and with all my agreement to what Romy and Haralanov said I have to confess that they are a bit full of shit. I desisted to make an experiment and recorded on my phone the video of my playback and then listen to the sound I got in th...

My personal take (also with my wife who I have been with for 33 years) is that they learn enough by exposure and are much more valuable when remaining simple "users". It is often not possible to be objective when you are enjoying a low noise floor or...

What I find interesting is that none of the Japanese store that sell cartridges for domestic marker sell the Shelter 90X. Who knows, perhaps the 90X is the big conspiracy between Shelter and US importers who decided to capitalize on the success of Sh...
