I saw and hear thise horns on audio show in Waraw this month(I went 200km to this show only to hear this thing). It is La-horn 200hz, smaler horn is La-horn 1000hz not diagonal. Drivers is BMS. Bass is TL. Orginal name of this system is ROCKET but th...

Yes, Rakesh, thanks. I do not know if it is interesting. I look at this report and his findings and I do not know what it all means. It certainly gives a relevant perspective on different drivers but I do not think that it gives any quality perspecti...

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 less. Even leaving the cont...

Having just returned from this show, I have a few comments on your comments... 1) Yes, it was the amp you posted the link to. 2) Yes, the tweeter and two MF channel drivers were GOTO 3) Your estimates on flare rates aren't too far off (don't kn...

I just remembered that I sometimes use a cementatious material that has added to it a fair amount of foam-ish beads and acrylic. The stuff sets up like cement but is MUCH lighter than cement or plaster, perhaps 2/3 lighter. I mention this...

my vitavox S2's finally arrived today.i was not expecting great results with all the warnings i read on this site,especially with the klangy stock 4 cell 330hz vitavox horn.i know refinement when i hear it.i have heard avantgarde's duo, trio,i even h...

Hello again, Romy...
I totally agree with you about changing the rear chamber volume. It makes a very positive improvement in extension as well as quality. Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable...

KOT, with the ML2s I found very little difference in the sound of various 6C33Cs, but the old Svetlanas certainly "held to spec" better (and longer..). I find the 6C33C to be more "direct" sounding than 845 or 211, but this in the context of a 3-sta...

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...

Romy, I do agree with all your comments. It is true that the magnitude of the rubber taste very much depends on the crossover frequency. I used them below 64Hz, but with first order filter, implemented before the amp that drives them. With that kind ...

I agree i have been making mistakes even costly ones. I had taken the biamping route with cary and krell on B&W , and that was the purpose of getting both the amps, to get the best out of both ,,,,,,it turned out mixing oil and water,,,,,the most...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important files from there were backed...

N-set, yes, the more you know, the more unlikely "FR" sounds. And the fact that small SETs with tuned "raw" drivers playing GWB can avoid the most detremental of these effects is largely because (duhhh...) the cited combination is not seriously FR. ...

For the person who very easy toss comments like “utter nonsense”, BS and “does not make sense” you are very uninformed. If you stop position yourself as an ignorant teenager who “knows everything” then you have chance to learn something. The Car Talk...

Years ago, when I visited the Cogent guys, Rich was working on one of their big drivers. The diaphragm was big and even thick and heavy, as compression driver diaphragms go. Of course they used 300B amps, and the bottom end had the "sewer pipe" type ...

Well that really is damn frustrating and admittedly very aggravating. After typing a rather lengthy and enthusiastic response, I somehow lost everything before posting and it couldn't be recovered. So we'll attempt to try this again, though adm...

Not to leave Bill hanging, Romy, but were you not curious enough to take your original Dannoys home again, to at least determine as a baseline tenet that it is repeatable? If it is, then you can more closely replicate the original cabinet/set-up, and...
|

Yep, he heard and talked about some of the right things, down to problems when he needed "more" but more was not available. But can one really "hear these at their best" with any 94 dB speaker, let alone Magicos? Odd that neither of these reviews s...

HE, you've gotten a long run so far without anyone asking if you've read the site. Have you? There are long threads on the Lamms and the Lowthers that might offer you some food for thought. One thing I would recommend is playing with the ML2 "plat...

Hi Romy,I feel very pleased for you. I was always somewhat puzzled by your descriptions of how you felt the S2 sounded, particularly between 600 and 1200 Hz. My experiences with a few different horns but always with a good quality SE amp were invaria...
|

Hi Chaps, I view of the fact I have two pairs of S2 drivers, I'm intrigued by the thought of running them a la Romy, i.e. high and low. So, in addition to procuring a pair of Big Mama horns, I'm discussing with Martin the prospect of getting some hig...
|

Once you figure out where you want the LF drivers you could put them in a "cabinet" of lesser dimension and run that "cabinet" through the floor, using the basement, or part of it, for more volume/IB. That could "solve" the IB footprint problem, and...

There are those who claim to drive some of the big vintage speakers with SETs at AA. Like those ancient top models from University, Wharfdale, Tannoy, etc., etc. Not that this is the same as an objective approach.I've heard it tried ...
|
|
Maybe we should just start by trying to think of a viable way to get down to 20 Hz in a reasonably sized enclosure driven by an SET that must also drive the rest of the system. This was always the sticker for me, and this was a major ...

Yes, some of the people who "know the most", and can contribute so much indispensable information - up to a point - can be simultaneously so generally confused that it's literally wearying. Imagine gazing into a magic mirror, where everything is so...

I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought t...

You see, even Romy, who openly detests the Lowther, is right there to steer Lowther lovers to cogent information he has turned up during his eternal foraging for useful hi-fi trivia.Thanks, Romy!The chart on the juice bottle looks VERY interesting!&n...
