[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I migh...

[quote user="haralanov"]Ironically or not, I have no practical problems with it, simply because I’m not using big UB horns. My upper bass channels are much more compact – 4 very massive 15” drivers with no horns. Their integration to my main widerang...

Well, I would like do not mislead myself and others: the Injection Channel idea is NOT perfect and in a way a half-ass solution. It is effective. If the right “coloration driver” is found and properly implemented/mixed then the Injection idea might b...

Audio people know that loudspeakers mostly define the quality of sound reproduction. Also, everyone knows that the capacity of the loudspeakers mostly determined by the capacity of the drivers that loudspeakers use. Regardless of the topologies, appl...

Adrian,
This it truly complicated question. The Titans’ upperbass (the better one, curved, with 12” driver) is not realty HF capable and it makes a MF driver need to go all the way down to probably 500Hz (I do not know what Bruce dies in the crossov...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

[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...

Stefano, welcome to the club, not the GoodSoundClub but the club of understanding of what is going on.
The subject of drivers in Tailored Audio™ is complicated and one of the biggest problems in this complicity is to defeat the attitude of judgment ...

Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...

Ralph uses a field coil version of the Supravox driver ,as an option in the Cessaro 'Betas', and has been experimenting with the GIP drivers.To my knowledge the drivers aren't modified,( I would have to ask Ralph to confirm ) but He does build the po...

This is very interesting observation. I am in away envy that Petar went for a set of large woofers (4x23”!). This is the way to go! Unfortunately I did not experiment with it even I had the drivers and means to do it. My problem was with the fact...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I thought that the folks who are interesting where I am going with my Macondo should know that am still working with Vitavox S2[/quote]OK, I think now I’ve learned whatever I need to learn about this driver. In order to und...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...
|

Well, it is certainly not our objectives to define were one or another driver, in this case TADs, would punch up in regards to other drivers. I presume that any driver if a sufficient amount of time, effort and love invested might blossom with differ...

Howdy all,I have been playing with the Dunnoy concept since Romy discovered it and I agree that it is a very good improvement for Tannoy bass.Dunnoy with reverb injection is a phenomenal experience. I have gold drivers not red but I tried both 10s an...

Romy, are these drivers going to wind up in the ceiling horns? I currently use 15" Audax PR380M2 paper drivers in conservatively-tuned BR bins, X/O'd 3rd order at ~ 125 Hz. I do this because I need the gain with my current amp set-up. These drivers ...
|
|
I dont want to hack this thread into TH, I tried them with sub-amps 150 watts and they didnt sound good, but I was using a passive preamp, when I added an active preamp things started to get better, now with 12 watts and a a lot of gain, bass is ama...

We, the horn people, know what the compression drivers could do. The controlled dispersion, low distortions, low mechanical dependency, low magnetic anomalies, high efficiency, higher maximum dynamics and many-many more advance are well known. The te...

You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde Trio midbass horn, a...

I have not heard the Heils with all possible amps, but to my ears they are equally unequivocal with Tone and Dynamics, once their (rather low) "threshold" is reached. At least with respect to dynamics, this seems like the opposite of what one would ...
|
|
Romy, I am not clear from re-reading how low you plan to go with a 4" to 5 " dynamic driver, like you mentioned a few posts back. I thought I read that you planned to go as low as 70 Hz with this channel, which confused me when ...

[quote user="be"] Are you thinking of the WE drivers or the setup? If it is the drivers: What exactly are these “sub-acceptable level design decisions”?[/quote] I was talking about the WE entire installations. I am not familiar with WE drivers. I eve...

[quote user="cv"]I make 6 drivers = 95.8 db/W. You get 3db / doubling of the number of drivers ie 88 + 10log10(6 drivers).That's why I'm going with a bunch of Lambda TD15S (which are sort of a cross between the Altecs cone - paper, curved, ...

Romy,Is a new cabinet for the Scanspeak drivers an option? Have it the same width facing you but just make it deeper so that you can group the drivers closer together while still maintaining a similar volume for the drivers. That way you could stac...

Understanding Line Array SystemsBy John Murray
Behind the buzz, there are a lot of factors at work in line arrays. An explanation and comparison of current models. This discussion can’t be contained in just a few paragraphs, so we must start with th...
|
|
There are a few at least theoretical backdraws for the Array in my view.Of course having a lot of different drivers playing at the same frequency implies that all of them should work in perfect unison, if one starts lagging a little bit it will mess...
