[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable free air resonance... such a toy would be wonderful with custom midbass and bass horns... [/quote]
It is why I use cone drivers f...

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...

[quote user="i_should_coco"]I guess these would work nicely from 300Hz to ??? Can the S2 really go that low? I've heard differeing opinions....[/quote]
Pete,
How low the S2 really go? It is a little bit complicated. First of all there is an objecti...

Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

I tried for at least a year to get some Aurum Cantus G3 ribbons to work
in my high efficiency system, and never could. I tried
everything. I finally concluded that ribbon drivers do not work
with HE systems. A $6 motorola piezo horn with som...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"] (2) Yes, in most recordings - which are unlistenable - multiple microphones are used in close proximity in order to artificially generate 'clarity'. The side effects (as you noted) are massively exagerated (but uncon...

In reference to:

I had recently a guy in my listening room and he asked me if it would be possible to get the 300Hz range in the way how it sounds in my room but without using those larger uppe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1)
Since you use the
injection channel, stop using it. The injection channel was a ridiculous idea
with exceptionally beneficial results, but now I have found it better. You have
two Tannoy Red 10 drivers. Use the HF...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...to hear it from a person who advocates a single driver approach :-)[/quote]
Hahhaha, if
you call the combination of 4x23” + 4x15” + 12”+ 8” +2” a single driver
approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

I keep thinking about the type of the loading the guy from Germany
used. I am not sure if I agree with Josh that the absence of front chamber if
the key for the success that Josh describes. Let analyze it.
The front chamber for LF drivers is not...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For a lot of reasons, I'd vote for an alternate placement. You've got that basement, so why not use it as a rear chamber? You might be able to use the volume "as is", without building a proper rear chamber. In this ca...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

Yes, this English pace did not give a lot of new information. I know nothing about the AudioTekne Company. I like that they wrote about their bass driver but I do not know how much truth and the actual results behind it. I do think that they wor...
|

Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

I'm a new reader of your website and one subject which interests me a lot is that of upper bass horns.As you have noted time and again (with which I agree almost completely, after reading a lot of 'research' [many claiming to defy the laws of physics...

Midbass from horn in
small room can be hugely benefited if it bounces but to make the
assembly of horns visually pleasant, time aligned and functional at the
same time is a big question. I do like the notion of Midbass fires t...

I took this quote from Bill’s post in the Bermuda Triangles

subject is very worthy to address.

It is not a secret that my short interaction with Murat and

idiots. Nevertheless, I think it...

Romy,I'm new here, and I have read your posts in the forum. I
