HiWell I am fairly new to active speakers. I've been in contact with Merlin and Guy in the UK about these type of speakers and their experiences. I'm just taking it all in and then going forward making a few mistakes and then learning about them!&nbs...

[quote user="Tax"]The other options are to get some custom Amorphous OPT's <50R 350mA 8:1 as per previous posts, or to possibly pair Romy's LF tributes (for sale section) with a pair of Lundahl's in a two channel DSET configuration. The Avantgarde...

Gentlemen:I've thought about this mid-bass challenge for quite some time. I have tried many approaches.For the sake of my example, let's assume mid-bass to cover from 60-600Hz. That just happens to be the classic "decade". I have to fully agree with ...

I've only had the pleasure of listening to 'professional' horns (whatever 'professional' really stands for)--horn normally used in concerts and small venues. (It was always so obvious to me--by listening--that the range of the horn-loaded 'bass...

Albert, the Adjustable Hydraulic Dampening might be effective if the vibration of floor is the factor. This is exactly what I question as I do not feel that the floor vibration is a problem. Considering the length of the waves and the amplitude of t...

Considering all "cautions" mentioned by Paul and rawuk regarding SET capriciousness to crossover and speakers I am confident that I will NOT have any problems related to the above cautions of crossovers or speaker loads.
I use an active...

So what was next...They build the DAC, patented the clock... ok.They build their own preamp. Fully descrete class-a balanced, john curl wouldnt do it differently. Nice. Low and adjustable gain - very nice. Constant impedance step attenuator - my favo...

Hi Romy. This is Jacky. My sincere apologize for the inappropriate behavior of my employee.Please give me a chance to explain myself: I registered and posted the first few comments as Djjjj on June, then left the account to the public relation depart...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Incidentally, a little motivational experiment was recently made possible; with half a horn complete and laying flat, the missing half substituted by the floor, I had my "assistant" (who has quite a low voice for a female)...

Hi Roman et al!Allow me to introduce myself. I have followed with amusement Romy the Cat for many years. He is ascerbic and ultracritical, but he does know audio. We share many tastes, like the Koetsu Onyx Platinum foir instance, on...

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

There are few more observations I would like to share after listening
my new IB over this weekend.
The midbass. The midbass channel that is handled by a single
Vitavox 15 driver with use of my new IB became if not more propitiate but at
least m...

[quote user="MINGSU"]I think most of reader get my point of the car examples. The main point is to follow the manufacture recommendation on how to use the driver. Of course, if you want to do something different, that is your choice but don't come ...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

Well, Gera, a good question in context of your playback. How a person who has multichannel 106db playback with SS amplification and active crossover to explore SET domain? It is not so simple and if you do then probably it would require bringing ...

A horn loaded installation shell not be mono, period! I have observed this phenomenon for years and I insist that it is impossible to make a properly performing horn-loaded playback. I have no explanation for it but I take it a rule: the monoph...

[quote user="Paul S"]I have also been thinking of subbing electrolytics for the huge - up to 100 uF - caps in my speaker level crossovers, just to hear it for myself. Although everyone says to use polys in the signal path, etc., I just wonder a...

Dear
I know that it is very difficult to evaluate others system without a physical visit.
Still i have a very general question about the "worst crossover point".

[quote user="decoud"] Romy, can you be persuaded to post a sketch of what you think the optimal 2 channel Melquiades circuit would look like? [/quote]
Decoud, I do not think that there is such a thing as optimal DSET. The entire concept of DSET is a...

Paul, l I have written about it somewhere: the passive speaker-level crossovers on bass channels are no good. Marko has 250Hz that with 3rd order would be around 10mH and 2mH. With air core then would be very large coils with huge amount of DCR – ver...

[quote user="Paul S"]While you are merely being empirical, there are actually plenty of devices that aim to "benefit" the end sound of SS gain by using tubes to "condition" the signal from DACs, etc. Also, there are plenty of commercial widgets ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Even though quantivly and structurally bass is correct but it is not what I am looking. [/quote] Last night I got rid the SMS crossover. I built in the 28Hz, 12dB per octave crossover in the Yamaha B2 amp that I use f...

I was listening last night the HF section of MiniMe. It was interesting and frankly very promising. The RAAL 70-20XR were fine and he JBL5 did splendid. They are not properly integrated, were not measured and were made up to work together well, it wa...

Paul I slightly surprised about your comments. The regulating aerial amplifier tube affected sound very mildly, if ever, at least it was my experience. I had a few different 6AK5 but changing them was not a highly notable effect. I still have left a ...

I you have
an active speaker and want like to use Melquiades then you need a DSET
configuration, Find out where and how your Gryphon rolls off MF and
introduce the same filter from your DSET in the amp. Use much lower
value of coupling ca...
