[quote user="Serge"] The sound I like most was the one at Audio Tekne's room. I never listened to them before. The speakers were very ugly. I'd say extremely ugly. And 4-way, drive units arranged as if by chance. The big ugly turntable cost 53000 eur...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

It is difficult to talk with audio people about Horns. It is a constraint problems, and not only in audio, when the mistakes of a specific poor implementation or a chase of a mistaken tangentional notions might shatter an entire concept. The very sam...

Dear CatThey do not shout or go hard when pushed.Metallic sounds such as cymbals and percussion instruments are the most life like.It also brings immediacy to the sound of speakers.Like you have said in another thread how speakers are the worst link,...

I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installations that I have see is worthless thing to do -all Goto installation that I have seen are time-missaligned. To listen a time-misaligned horn installa...

Thanks, Dominik, an interesting driver and an interesting direction. JBL is probably one of the few large companies that that do something “pushy” with sound. Still, what they do and even if what they do objectively advantageous I am not sure that it...

Attila from Hungary send me emails telling that he got CNC lathe, carver and the rest of gear and that he is very much willing to make horns. He asked: “I would like to ask your opinion, what type of horns people most need”. I find it is interesting...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...

[quote user="Wojtek"]You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be...
