Hi Romy Indeed you sound a little racist, but i think we all have our prejudice. Funny enough, i didnt recognize nor cared, spotted the horn with my eyes, went in and listened.Now, read this carefully: I listened to the system with closed eyes, for ...

I remember I had an Asian girlfriend who was viciously trying to convince me that I was the best man in the world. She was 23 and I, listening her, was experiencing the incredible boredom...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Here another horny “client” – German company “Odeon”
http://www.odeon-audio.com/Look at those miserable Germans: the Avantgarde, Cessaro and Odeon! Wow, and it is from a country the size of New Jersey… :-) Of course I am kidding… Dose anyone k...

Look for the James’ thread about “Barn Conversion” :

we were taking there about the “opened bottom” and “closed bottom” solutions. The Cessar...

[quote user="hagtech"]Romy, I don't know what it is, but something bothers me about the way the upper horn hangs. All other drivers are supported from bottom, that one from the top. This is just gut, but it doesn't seem right to me. ...

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an extended listening session with the Living Voice Vox Olympian outside of a show environment. Since said listening session took place upon a boat – moreover, a wooden-bodied boat – under what can only be sai...

jd, I cannot see any of PDF files, probably my current networks kills them.
I do not know the AK150 drivers. I know AK157, AK151 and K15/40. If they have significantly lower free-air resonance, at 30-35Hz then I am not sure that they would be ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Romy's comments on "axial rotation" of the horns (meaning in this case, angling the horns) has me thinking. I had planned to build in a vertical tilt adjustment for horns located near the floor and ceiling... I woul...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

Adrian,
You pretty much said it but do not think that what you said it minor – it is in fact huge, with exception of some rough lathe-work: it is not exactly true but if it was true then it would be irrelevant to Sound.
I really do not know wha...

This is the last article in the planed overview. Here I would like to cover options available among commercially available High-Efficiency systems. As you might expect it will not be too exiting.
In a ways commercial systems inherent all problems of...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

Romy, make you own very simple experiment and then make your own mind.
Take two horn channels, low-pass and high-pas them at 6K for instance
and drive them with 6K sinewave. When you time alight the driver you
have well ...

Aga, you clearly see a split in the image referred above it
means that the midhorns are no single solid horizontal assembly but two separate
units that were so unlucky positioned probably for the sake of photogenicism. Jonathan Valin In his write u...

Hi decoud,
I live on Earl's Court Road, and saw on the website that you lived in Kensington and have Danley's. I normally hang out on the Wigwam and PFM, and I used to own Martin Logans. I am a horn fan, but ...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

user="jackydai"]My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent
right from the entrance of phase plugs. In this sense, not even Bruce and Sam
did it right, I’m afraid to say. In many cases the driver and the horn are

Indeed I am welcoming a newcomer to a horn world. It looks
like a Chinese company that makes me slightly to be withdrawn. So far I did not
see original Chinese production that did not cut corners or did not impersonalize
western product but in bad...

Gluttons for punishment, Mark and I went to the Newport
Beach audio thing-ee again this year. Generally, I was most struck by how much
lower audio expectations seemed to be, even lower than last year. It seemed

Romy,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Remind you that horn
not only does that but it performs acoustic transformation gradually. [/quote]
Yes, I do
agree with you about that. From both theoretical and practical point of view it
is 100% true. But...
