there is one system that resembles what live music sounds like and its not a horn! :)To be honest I really have no idea of what topology these horns were setup like... all i have evaluated is there soundI like to go into something without any prejust...

I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

[quote user="N-set"]I didn't make it to the 2nd video before and it's indeed interesting.Esp. how he describes the result of his trick: "addition of HF transforming into more air and resolution in the MF instead of more glow at the top"(around 2:30 a...

Charlus,As you expressed here this would be an End of life speaker project, and I am sure you will not fancy any other speaker once you start with this, even Vox Olympian etc. Yes it will take a lot of money and a lot of time, but you will have fun...

I need to say that I do not like the Netherland-based company BD-Design. They do in my view non interesting products and their owner Bert, despite of being a more or less knowledgeable audio fellow have a tendency to patronize incredibly filthy audio...

Another very quick post - I have guests arriving from Japan in a couple of hours. Will respond more thoughtfully when I have some free time.University Dean plans: Mouth - 1080 in^2Throat - 78 in ^2S(d) - 132.7 in^2Compression ratio - 1.70Path lengt...

I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression drivers I tried. That is wha...

[quote user="Paul S"]Thanks, Scott L. I get the math, and no doubt hearing is believing. Still, I do know for certain that "a driver" can be influenced by a defined amount of trapped air in an enclosure, at least as far as the sound that comes from ...

Nice to see someone actually try it. I know that fast rates "work" from MF and up; but I have not tried it with compression drivers/high gain/LF.Thanks for sharing.Best regards,Paul S...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

just got it that you meant the diameters,of course its around 65%. i always calculated the throat-size with the area....i really would like to get a second pair of s2´s but i think right now it would be difficult even if i had the money;-(((if i go f...

[quote user="CO"]I have tried a BMS driver a while ago and it was really bad.
About a year ago i heard Berts setup at his house and it did not impress me... It was also with the coaxial BMS.Not much depth or resolution. Did have alot of power though...

[quote user="MINGSU"]GOTO always recommend to use 1st order active crossover and 2nd order passive crossover. The reason to use 2nd order for passive crossover is to protect the driver. Of course, the user can use whatever they like the best but the ...

Johan, I understand what you are saying. This is kind of James’ barn thread and if you do not mind can you share with him one thing, I think that many others, including me, would be interested to learn the answer to this question: What did you gain g...

I was right before but now I really review my rightness for a new perspective. Yes, the compressions drivers are the subject of clean signal but it what I witness with the new 6-chenals DSET put what I said above in another extreme dimension. I do no...

Thanks, Eduardo, very interesting. The YL 75000 has no phase plug and 70Hz with 1” trout. It look to me like a conventional diver. Which beds a question: if to reduce compression with our classic drivers, loose plug off and reduce power then can we ...

[quote user="MINGSU"] Since they are very old pair of driver, I will recommend you to send them to GOTO Japan to make sure the driver are up to the spec. so you can be sure …. [/quote] Ok, but then they need to send them to me then in order I inform ...

The thing I notice with live music is the way the sound at all audible frequencies has articulated drive like I never hear with "true HF tweeters", or at least not the "tweeters" that go way up there. I got some sense of this drive and nat...

Ok, since you people stop to drop the euphoric saliva around the Goto subject I think it would be worth to outline my interest in Goto. Not only worth but I kind of feel an obligation. I feel that my site surprisingly has become a resource that ...

Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...

[quote user="Macman"]Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I though...

Hello,This is my first post to this site, which I have been absorbing for over a year.A horn project that I have been considering would include either a 1 inch or 1.5 inch throat compression driver into a Tractrix profile horn of which I have not yet...

I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/sup...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

compression drivers are the way to go as far as i am concerned but obviously performance depends on the horn lens.my beef with ET-703 is that i don't understand its horn or whatever it is. if not an explanation i would like to see maybe some po...

Absoluitely! The bugscreen is an effective diffusor, if it has been installed correctly. The removal (of other compression drivers) bugscreens is indeed a touchy subject, which I only reccommend if it is fully reversable. And yes, I have used nylon p...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

They have a 17cm throats so in most cases it is better to get the version with 2" throat for compression drivers, shorten them for the right throat size and build a chamber yourself....

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...
