I'm here in the middle of the Spanish revolution. In the brutal friday attackin Barcelona (fuck the FC Barca!) the police has robbed, yes the police robs here, our speakers.Would be lovely to have something like those Decibels to counteract their noi...

lately I've come to theorize that the horn midbass may be a contadictive dead end approach. The reason is that proper horn midbass (lets say 80 to 400Hz) will be a big one and present a few inherent "brick walls". It will physically shade the midrang...

thanks for the good infoactually we are developing a full horn-loaded speaker the bass-bin is just inspired by Klipsch La Scala (just like Volti speaker) with curved sides. the mid-range consists of TAD 4001/Beryllium in Edgar wooden Tractrix horn an...

[quote user="Paul S"]Murat, this latest information from you has gotten you farther along than you might suppose at this time. From what you now say, it sounds like 6 months would be a minimum amount of time for you to spend getting a sense of the S...

Yesterday a local hi-fi guy invited me to listen his new speaker. He picked up Altec Model 19 - I am known not to be a big fun of those speakers but they have own sound in the scale of non-demanding, off-the-shelf monitors. Upon expecting the speaker...

Jacky, so, you are the person who did that presentation at
the video was posted by xandcg a few days back and who presumably found the company,
welcome. Is the same internet forum account used by multiple people then it is

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everythin...

Paul,I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design. Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpgIn this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.This so...

why not use this to your advantage as a selling point. "One of few in world" "built-in vintage horn speakers"load with fullrange/co-axial drivers and fire up the sound for buyers. I think they will like that....

Sorry I misread, I thought you endorsed the use of PP tube amps with compression horn drivers. Well it looks like were still in the same situation of not making them work. I could go on about why I feel they don't work, but it won't chang...

The idea of 360 degree radiation of sound has great intuitive appeal to me since I feel the best recordings are done with two omnidirectional microphones. The most precise reproduction of the musical event would seem to be: sounds enter microph...

Sure, it is a matter of personal preference but to my taste anything shiny of glossy should not be used in horn or in audio… unless you are French of course :-) As far as I concern everything should be absolutely black, completely not glittery,...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

RomanThe main point is that I like the Bass SET aproach with LF capable transformers and have a potent SET to properly drive whole band and take the amp out of equasion in the future when I learn how to build horn speakers. The system I have is an ac...

KeaAudio. I think we are taking about different things. I was under impression that Goerlich speakers are really sandwiches – layers of aluminum foil inner-layered with plastic. Yes, I am not a big fan, in fact an opponent, of rubber shrouding for h...

[quote user="slack key"] As for audio problems, you are correct, I really have to sit back and think about what to do. Sure I want to improve what is now lacking.... soundstage, imaging and depth. As for the sound, of course, I like the sound o...

wow.thanks for comments.La Grande Castine will not be as expensive as Cessaro Gamma.i am sorry but i cannot answer to all questions, for several reasons you can understand.we have tested many drivers since the early prototype of La Grande Castine. BM...

Skushino,being an avid believer of horn speakers throughout the years,I find myself questioning your findings, as you stated in your posting.Have you finally listened to these speakers? or is it like, beauty is in the eye of the beh...

MSA, you know I am doubtful of Romy's design, but still I have to ask if are you saying you can put your fingers on the plywood of a stock A7 bin and not feel it vibrate during play? Also, whether I crossed mine at 500 Hz or 800 Hz, I could "hear th...

I have also noticed this in the past, But i could not say it was from the the Mid bass driver or horn. I was trying out a amp at a friends house with his system and i had this bass softness and i thought it was his speakers but we tryed his own amp a...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

Yes, Las Cases is actually my personal favorite. It decays in a delectable way when it is supposedly over the hill, with incredible complexity and infinite layers. Barton is much more prim and proper, taking its own time to come around but ultimately...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do not worry, you won’t be happy with your new speakers
as well. It is a little dirty secret that no one told you yet: speakers do not
give happiness. [/quote]In my case only speakers can give me happiness, because with e...

I guess the first step is to determine the audibility of K2 at the frequencies being reproduced. Then comes the trick pony if the audibility hurts or benefits playback. Is K2 even a problem?What will inevitably come up is that you will have to engine...

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...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

Very good, thanks for the images. It would be very interning to learn what the bandwidth of the horns, the bandwidth of the drivers and the specificity of crossovers you eventually chose to use with each channel. It might take for you for a while to ...

I have also been working on a pair of Macondo-inspired horn-speakers. Horns from Stereo Lab, but with horn-drivers from JBL, rather than the elusive Vitavox. I hold Romy's forum in very high regard because of the content-standard of the posted messag...

Hi Dima,Do you know if this is similar to the approach Tim de Paravicini took in his direct-coupled amp placed inside a Quad? I'm currently using Quad speakers (I gave up on the horn approach through sheer frustration) and it seems to me that this is...
