Romy's comments in blue :"...Interesting, as all my drivers, the AK151 and K15/40 are high impedance (15R-16R, DCR around 12R). I do not see a lot of difference between AK151 and K15/40..."Apart from the color the baskets were painted (silver Hammeri...

Romy reading in your site, i got interested in the vitavox ak151. do u have an idea, if it would sound considerably better in a cornerhorn, than my altec 416's ? i got a offer for 900 pounds a pair. what do u think abought deqx ? Angelo...

What I like: The fact that they are doing this. The upper part of these speakers is truly beautiful, both in composition and in workmanship, which is on the level of fine jewelry. Sonic attributes aside, visually that Pinocchio tweeter horn i...

Wow, THAT IS BOLD!!!! The 45Hz how from 7” throat – that is very-very cool and very positively-obnoxious.

Oops,
I'll send the images again once back at work on Monday.
The thraot size will be 7 inches.
Yes I have thought about paying someone else to do the work, but that sort of skilled labor is super expensive around here.
And... Yesterday ...

jd, I cannot see any of PDF files, probably my current networks kills them.
I do not know the AK150 drivers. I know AK157, AK151 and K15/40. If they have significantly lower free-air resonance, at 30-35Hz then I am not sure that they would be ...

Hello Romy and everyone here, Thanks again for your thoughts on the large horns. It seems best to start a new thread, as previous threads dealing with the "10-Footer" originally began as discussions of other subjects. Romy, you may want to move previ...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

Nice work; bravo Mike! With regard to improvements to the S2: Apparently Romy's prayer, one of them anyway, has been heard and would seem to have been answered; a diaphragm-centering guide has at last been added. As for the rest (other improveme...

Hi Romy,How would such a time delay manifest itself in the resulting sound? Have you had the opportunity to listen to such an attempted system? Would the benefits of having a hornloaded AK151 not outweigh this or would it just sound too wrong to...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I might be totally wrong, but I just assumed that Vitavox's decision to specify a lower impedence voice coil for horn-loaded applications was related the additional load placed on the driver once mated to a horn, resu...

Thank you for giving this matter your attention. Jorge, I was intending that the AK151 be employed within a horn. Further, once I had settled upon the driver compliment, it was my intention to retain the services of Jeffrey Jackson, since I am not su...

Thanks for the recommendations on crossover points and the image of the rear chamber on your Upper Bass horn...

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

Hello Romy,Thanks for the great explanation, I'm a newcomer to horns, so please treat me gently ;-)Very interesting info, so in essence there are two limits, the real "hard" limit, where you risk damage to the driver, and the "sensible" limit, below ...

After a provisional cleaning of my crappy Yamaha C2 preamp, I got +/- balanced bass and then made a bit of discovery: Changed the parallel R in the HF circuit of the UK crossover from 50R to 25R (and switched the xcover to the treble boost mode which...

Hi folks. Who ever listened to Living Voice Vox Olympian Speakers might've liked them as much as I do.
They got a great realism in their projection. Some things are obvious, some even claimed.
Its claimed to use excellent drivers, high quality ...

I would like to point out that copying or not copying Macondo is kind of irrelevant. With proper assessment techniques any person who experiment with horn-loaded multi-channel pile of the horns would end up with the very same configuration – noth...

Romy,I am considering a midbass channel similar to that you are currently using. The plan is to use the channel as a form of EQ to help rectify a large circa 40Hz room mode...bass cannons below the mode, midbass above the mode, and upperbass horn ab...

Hi Romy. Interesting point as i had similar perception along my recent I ran an 8inch driver with fronthorn. Then just got my hands on a pair of RFT L-3701 (or 3702). http://tempuri.org/tempuri.htmlA fabulous driver with exactly those parameters. T...
