Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, would you elaborate on it if you feel that it has any merit?[/quote]Really, I do not know. From my limited experience I have found that multiway active systems are very much a tuning excercise par excellance. Given th...

Bill, it sounds like you have made a significant investment (time and resources) into (re)producing reverberation with your entire system, also setting time alignments of various drivers, across the board, and I assume you would not have gotten this ...

The things I like best about a good wide-range drivers are coherence and immediacy; like nothing else I know of.But awareness of the limited range (certainly not FR), dynamics (certainly not natural on most music) and any res...

... to better express myself, with every needed nuance... Roman: I never wrote I'm able to time-align my speakers, I only told you I quite recently began "moving" drivers and horns as I never did in the past few years, NOT simply looking for a practi...

Yes, the Dresden’s talk about 40Hz horn and 90Hz horn as the similar horns, particularly if he does not want to "cheat", stroked me as odd too. 90Hz horn is a nice a manageable 40” piece of furniture. The 40Hz is the monster in a house and a good rea...

Dear Romy Chapter 1 in the audio cyclopedia, you should read it because you are the won who lacks experiance when it come to building a sound system. #1 from were you listen to system from you should be able to look down the thr...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Here is an example on how to use GOTO 505TT driver. Use the GOTO S150 horn and crossover at 200Hz to 1kHz. If you like to use other type of horn and crossover point, you are on your own. Maybe good or maybe not but that is you...

Hello everyone,I have excellent news from Fane. After checking their old stock, they have now found and have confirmed that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to offer everyone ordering a choice of 8 or 16 ohms.Qu...

[quote user="Paul S"]Scott, is it your specific aim to configure an enclosure to "effectively" lower driver Fs? While this, along with an exponential increase in power, is a proven strategy for generating ULF, it seems like this approach creates more...

There are a couple ways to look at it.The project could be taken from the same sort of perspective as Great Plains, id est, simply new manufacture as a replacement for a 'historic' piece of a equipment. If it can sound close enough to the original th...

The closest to date I overlapped cones and horns myself was waaaay back in my time with Altec A7s. But I have since then and up to now heard many fine "hand-offs" from cone to horn, and my current project speakers hand-off cone to (very fast/short) h...

Actually the thermal efficiency or inefficiency is not the problem. It is the condensation that occurs when a cold plane meets a warm one. Warm air vapour WILL condense on the colder plane of the attic. what is in between is your wooden horn structur...

[quote user="audiofilofine"]After several tests of listening and somehow I felt that the best solution is fully closed. The heat is part of the project and not to damage the diaphragm, also the hot air is compressed better than cold and thus distorts...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...

Paul S wrote:"typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge". I do not disagree with that statement. I do feel the major advantage of stereo is not "stereo", but the separation of parts of the information in the signal ...

Herman, I agree with the root idea about "dissimilar" materials for drivers being a problem with respect to "pitch" as this applies over the audio bandwidth, and here are some more thoughts about this subject.With Robin's explications, it is easy to ...

If to compose oneself, the Reality is a restless, moving awareness that does not stay satisfied. How much is "improvement" and how much is change-for-itself is not so easy to judge at any given time. Horns or direct drivers, we want to create and r...

I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...

Have been playing with the Dannoy’s for four weeks now and they have significantly improved. Using my Trinnov pre-pro to see and adjust the parameters, i can answer Rom'y points.1. Frequency response: combined with a JL f113 subwoofer crossed over at...

Jarek, don't worry about me spending too much time trying to figure out the Dannoys. For one thing, I've already spent several decades charting vintage and newer "special" drivers and sound. For another, I am already years into my own speaker project...

[quote user="msaudio"]49Hz To 52Hz will be your peak, so the best you could hope for would be 3 hz below that flat with a perfect tuning of your length of your horn and back chamber of your box housing your woofers. If you shoot for the free air low ...

[quote user="noviygera"] I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn above and a mid horn below and they are physically time alig...

I appreciated a couple of things, probably for different reasons than Q put them forward, I think. For one thing, I more or less discount his timelines, and also the idea that certain audio components reached a high-water mark as "complete" achievem...

Ok, I blamed the tweeters and MF drivers now the turn of the MF horns. The Mid Frequency Horns (I’ll them “MFH” from now and on) are the stinky like pieces of horn installations, and if they are not done correct then they screw up anything big time T...

Don't worry Romy, I know exactly what you mean. I tend to discount the opinion of anyone who raves about a system's ability to play back patricia barber. Speaking of which, if I were in her shoes, bunions and corns aside, I'd be mildly...

I have also a fondness for this design which may well suit your room with the line sunk in your basement. It is interesting that this design makes use of two woofers in push-pull configuration as well as making use of a transmission line. The only tr...

OK, Romy, that EnABL stuff got my attention!I can't recall all of the bad ideas borne of good research, but this EnABL thing sounds a little fishy, and certainly it sounds too good to be true, as existing in a simple and really useful form. Can...

[quote user="Paul S"] I can report that the G2Si loses the "glycerin" at 10k with the ML2s…. [/quote]
I concur with this finding. Any ribbon tweeter that I heard has "glycerin" tone but it is because the ribbon mostly crossed too low. I would say th...

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is overwhelmed by compression drivers. I tried the A7s way back when they were current and everyone's favorite, and I tried various modifications with like-minded friends; but I came to the concl...
