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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

First and most important is time aligning the drivers, this will help a lot.When you are finally done, realign again... ijijiijii I would think you already have everything perfectly simmetrical to your listening position etc.Toe in and all of that. p...

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...

Petar, I might have just been tired, but I thought I saw a pair of "likely" 3.5" paper tweeters, and I played the hypnotized consumer and bought them, to start with my adaption education. It might be a while before they get here, but in the meantime...

Brian,Microphone diaphrams, headphone diaphrams ,dome tweeters, all have to have the pattern applied with a technical pen i.e. Kohinoor or Mars. These are becomming a little difficult to find in all towns. A 50% mixture of Poly S and water should be ...

Well, I didn't come so close to answer your question right.I saw a few from the German DIY scenery and for them it was like the return of Jesus, best sound on PlanetBut probably they are still deaf as usual, because the Frequency step ups are limited...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

Well, the Q5s were everywhere when I was trying to find big amps, and they really have no chance to move me. Even to do what they might do would take maybe 500W SS, yet Harley thinks he hears them at their best with the ML2.2. Then again, I suppose...
|
|
Very interesting, N-set. Of course we have been setting typical RC out at, say, 2 Hz for many years; but still I have puzzled over a sort of sonic "sump" and/or bungee effect that seems to increase as the sheer mass of parts begins to pile up. On t...

truth is i took a risk.i bought the s2s on ebay,and have never heard them.i was motivated to experiment and explore the core of the mac/melq system.i have owned many horns and heard many more. one case in point;avantgarde duo,i have heard this speake...

[quote user="drdna"] I think this 2A3 must have a specific set-up to sound its best. You have not found it yet. To begin with and familiarize yourself with the sound of it, I suggest sticking with the topology that has been tested by amplifier design...
|
|
BR, I have never used Romy's amp design, but I have used 6C33C SETs with Lowthers. I do not use my Lowthers FR, for reasons that are fully explicated throughout this site, so I don't worry about LF from those drivers. IMO, their best is MF up to tr...

I cannot say much for others but in my case, my listen room is fixed, either good or bad, larger or small. There are only so many ways to fit all the audio stuffs into a space. Of course, if the space is not an issue, time-aligned install...
|
|
What kind of futzing would it take to work an attenuated T350 or something like that back in there, just to check it against massed strings and the other impossible-to-achieve standards that tell everything about the "mid HF" qualities?All that x...
|
|
From the time of the insertion and setting the proper crossover my midbass is growing and growing, getting larger, deeper and better in all aspects. I am not kidding and now, when I have no ULF channels operational, it is very obvious. I can’t explai...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In the few converstaions I've had with him, Mike seems totally sincere and, as I've mentioned before, I very much hope he will one day come through.jd*[/quote]Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox...
|
|
I am out the door, just wanted to mention, it is my understanding that only one of these was meant for a horn; the other is a direct driver, like the original 515.I assume the celebrated "slotted" Vitavox horn is not the same as the one and only Vita...
|
|
Mats, I must have missed something. What do you see in the Audiotekne photo that you ask after the bass box? My usual ADHD glance only took in a double-wall-with-double-cutouts front baffle(s), and the (small-ish) size of it; maybe some sort of BR ...
|
|
One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tried them on the orig...

Romy,Did you ever experiment with DML or BMR type drivers for ambience channels?https://www.tectonicaudiolabs.com/audio-components/bmr-speakers/https://uk.kef.com/products/t101-satellite-speakersThere is something quite wonderful about how they work ...

Hi, BudNow that my system is back up and running again I suppose I ought to at least take the offer to try the enabl'd drivers in my speakers.I have no doubt they will sound different, and from the posts you cite I imagine some particular traits will...
|
|
Honestly there is not enough info here to make a usefull recommendation. If the drivers are going to be used from the 95hz crossover point up then you might not even have to worry about it if the Fs is well below that. I would not do it anyway since ...
|
|
Romy, it sounds like you've got your heart set on getting LF from your MF drivers in BR boxes. But perhaps for this to happen you will have to crank up the LF power, anyway. Maybe this calls for a separate, stuffed "LF" box-in-a-box ...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...
