[quote user="tuyen"]This is my current 4-way GOTO setup. I know it is in no way optimal but I am interested to find ways I can improve it's layout.

[quote user="noviygera"]1. Let's say
the my original back chamber from the manufacturer is a good "starting
point". Is Romy saying that those last few hertz of the fine tuning of the
chamber volume are very important and audible, in other words th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do not worry, you won’t be happy with your new speakers
as well. It is a little dirty secret that no one told you yet: speakers do not
give happiness. [/quote]In my case only speakers can give me happiness, because with e...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not understand what does it mean. Are you saying
that you lost bottom response with closed exit hole on the driver back? If with
the closed drift from back you have a (loaded!) response no lower than 200Hz then it i...

user="Murataltuev"]Yes, back chamber is very small. And it is
tunable! So, I need 110Hz Tractrix...ok[/quote]
You might tune the Fs by using a acoustically semitransparent
fabric, like Audiotechnica does in their headphones. About the si...

Hi Romy,
Again, good words (don't want to kiss your ass ;) ). Though, I get your point and agree, one should not think that this winter picture means Goto sound cold (u never know what one could read out of it) .
What Klaus also highlighted, is...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] After observing a pair of AK151s operating in free air, though only lightly driven, I just don't see how they can possibly generate so much pressure, as the cone barely moves! [/quote]
Why shout they move? One of the ide...

Once again, it is not about the loudspeakers but about the idiots who put themselves in position of shaping public opinion by expressing the “expert” view. Yes, I am taking about the Morons who write those audio reviews. A new Danish 90db sensi...

I was thinking about what I previously wrote while driving today... thinking about the way people "see" the function of a driver... and about resonant properties of various materials used for speaker cones... I think it is more interesting than compa...

There is a family of sonic weapons:

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, I have to admit that I did not listen the whole sound of AC vs. DC filaments yet. I will bring home today my DC lab supply that I use for my electromagnet coil and will give the try. I still at this point am not...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to admit that I have written a few pieces of writing about my experiences with YO186 but I withhold to post it as I do not know if it might valuable for anybody. It looks like no one use YO186 on West. There are ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] After a few month of living with YO186 I think I know everything about this tube. I do not use the YO186 all time and I think the explanation why I do not use it all time would well describe what YO186 is and how I use...

It look like the project progress well. I have a little concern
about heat the will be building up in your PS enclosure. I do not know what
kind ventilation hole you have in there but be advised that it will be quite
hot. In worst case you mig...

I've been doing a lot of research on how a properly designed horn works
(from initial Western Electric designs to present day efforts) in order
to get a real grasp of what will and will not work. I've read and
saved hundreds of papers and de...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

OK, now I am happier as I did my duty and the back chambers are ready to be attached to the horns and to be lifted up. Yesterday I spent 5 hours trying to build the back chamber displacement that Jessie and my carpenter recommended me. I bought t...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, I did not mention the most important thing about my new midbass horn. This most important and the most astonishing new characteristic of Sound I did not pursue and I got it purely accidently. I did not talk ab...
