"Once again, it would not be the unified answer and it all depends HOW YOU USE IT. "
You might built better audio or learn to develop more sensitive
perception and you end up with the same results. This why I, staring
from a certain level, refuse ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the a...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
The reason I ask is because no one talk a...

Holly cow, who could even expect that it will be so! BSO opened today the summer season with Mahler second. Levine is at his, look to be permanent recovery, and Michael Tilson Thomas stood at the podium. Tanglewood Festival Chorus, soprano Layla Clai...

[quote user="Gregm"] Why on earth would anyone want to attempt that? First of all, the only sensorial connection between reproduction & actual event is auditory. Not one of the other senses participate in the reproduction! Moreover, you do not ha...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]the unit I tried (the Sonic Euphoria passive) did not live up to my hopes.[/quote]
Given my somewhat loose but existing ties with S&B and with Music First Audio I need to be careful what I am saying. But let me suggest...

Max,
if you do admit an existence of “higher order language” then why you disagree that “a serious playback might generate a “very serious semantics”? An exposure to a “very serious playback” is an experience and we human tend to react to own spark...

First major audio observation that I made is that my Super Melquiades should be revised. After a year and a half of using the amp I came across to some conclusions that outlined the prospective changes in my DSET.

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

This weekend the new 6-chenal Milq is not finished yet design-vise but functionally is already “there”. The amp was good enough to play with other 3-chenal Milq. Firstly for the last month I was able to listen full stereo from Macondo…. I spend some ...

I am in minor scale mode toady and play mostly chamber music and only records. FM broadcasts with all their majesty are hardly objective tool to assess what doing on with audio. So, I play records and tapes. Besides everything I am trying to figu...

so, since I so, since I could not as yet, get myself fired from this thread, and what was actually meant by my comment (…fired!), let’s see if we can get back into the subject. I obviously also listen to music, and I also deal with the mechanics/...

Amir,
you are not listening or trying to understand. You are doing the same things that Stereophile/Audiogon/TAS audiophiles are doing - posting about things that you are not even trying to understand - and copy pasting other p...

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

Indeed I am welcoming a newcomer to a horn world. It looks
like a Chinese company that makes me slightly to be withdrawn. So far I did not
see original Chinese production that did not cut corners or did not impersonalize

I was rushing when I made the last post. Wanted to share a little more about my thought process and how I arrived at doing another large-scale masochistic audio project. Making a bass horn is a huge risk - the results can vary from exceeding expect...

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...
