I really enjoy this site. Romy has a fresh view that is actually easy to understand, if one simply reads instead of interpreting what he writes.Still, a view from "higher up" is something that many of us are not privileged to. Looking at the major co...

Ok, as I said I am skeptical about the idea of omnidirectivety. I do see a number of objective rising problems and the most important I do not see why omnidirectivety is necessary at the first palace. People who do omnidirectivety claim that omnidire...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I'm not so critical as you to open baffles for midbass, tho, in fact I think they can be made to work quite well, if one doesn't have the room for midbasshorns. [/quote]

hi Paul
I was just checking recently.
My electrostatics work great, they also got excellent radiation in HF as the outer stators are lowpassed, so im using very slim 1 inch stripe (50 inch high) in the center only. Excellent radiation and smooth...

"Gargoyle, YMMV, but I
associate LF propagation/amplification with mass; there has to be some
way to really "anchor" at least the LF driver. "Noted"I was thinking MF for
