Anthony, it feels like more of less comprehensive solution.
I like that you make the mid-bass horns to have the same externals profile as lower
midrange horn, this is making is visually very complete. If it was mine, then I
would use less gloss on...

user="kodomo"] Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are
talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the
speaker! Before installing your speakers into your room, calculate the nodes
and the amount of absorp...

Anthony As you can see in the picture it is one Vitavox 15" per
side and the box is about 2 feet deep, so it good volume. I drive it from low
frequency Milq channel that has a line-level 63 Hertz filter. Subjectively I
feel that I would like to ro...

Romy,
I tried non-symmetric crossovers (freq and slopes different for
channels) but had to go back to symmetric because the phase response
sounded very wrong to my ears. I learned that I could get used to a bad
freq...

Spend a good few hour moving the boxes, connecting the cables
and do other sort of things. Was looking for elegance and more symmetry. The
objective was to put midbass channel between the main horn islands and set the
horns, the midbass and LF in ...

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

My journeys with Melquiades made me to look at the problems wider: if to form a truly High-End objective, for amplification for instance, then does a “service” that can satisfy such an objective exists? Well, not really. Let look into this.

Very good, thanks for the images. It would be very interning to learn what the bandwidth of the horns, the bandwidth of the drivers and the specificity of crossovers you eventually chose to use with each channel. It might take for you for a w...
