Yes, Rulit does try to push envelop of something. He does exiting projects but I do not know how all of it manifests itself in actual results. I said that he pushes the “envelop of something” as I do not know what this “something” is. I never h...

I do not know if it was because economy, because the Japanese events early on this year or because any other reasons but there is a lot of Goto drivers for the last couple months on used market. The prices go down and it looks like nowadays the G...

I wonder: does it mean that you will take the rest 28 drivers? Hm, are you trying to research the subject of the drivers’ critical mass or become a speaker maker? Be careful with their claims that they will be “manufactured to the same specification ...

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. Best way to find out... Plac...

Since no driver is actually full range, driver selection is partly conditioned by how well it plays with the other drivers it will be used with, and - very certainly - the crossovers it will be used with, also baffle shape(s) and size(s), amps(s), an...

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

Hi Roman, hi all...... very interesting topic... I recently made the contact between Josh and Klaus and his Goto system... I experienced Klaus' system three times and also if someway blaming his choices about using only and exclusively "liquid music"...

So, two almost two years later and this contraption is still in my room and "ain´t goin nowhere" :-)Guys, I became obsessed with horn speakers and specially with Onkyo product so I would like to share with you my latest experiences.The speakers I tal...

Hi Roman...Yes, I liked it, as I liked Audio Tekne's (always based on A.L.E. drivers, by chance...), but because I "felt" - more than hearing - the superb quality of emission, the smoothness and naturality of the music when passing through these dri...

Hi Romy,So it is time to think about the bass output transformer in my DSET. My bass channel will be 8 x 25W/8565-00 each side set in a sealed box and will cover the frequency range below say 100Hz. These drivers can be wired anywhere between 1R an...

Compared to all the drivers out there,are they respectable at all.Just from my experience over time they sound better when crossed over above 800Hz.But still theres something odd.Am I for the price range of these drivers better off getting something ...

From the perspective of pumping of atmospheric pressure the ALE bass drivers might be more capable transducers. It or might not be so as well. To get 40Hz at 110dB in 5” it would take some excursion. I am sorry but you can’t bend the law o...

Paul,
Ok, I would agree with this. The power handling is the factor that I forgot to mention. The Japanese home drivers are rated for a few watts vs. the pro driver are rated for hundreds watts. BTW, some of older pro drivers (like my Vitavox) wer...

[quote user="Rewind"]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...

I got an email from a site visitor informing me that there us a set of cheap ALE drivers at London Craigslist: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/eld/4435844980.html(copy locally to have it available after the Craigslist posting will be gone) "ALE Acoust...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Ok, I give up...I'll keep TH separated.DBA concept is interesting and I don't understand why it is not common in Home Cinema or studio installations.In my case I'll consider to make double TH - one pair in front and position...

[quote user="skushino"]My desire is to use a pair of bass horns for each channel, both vertically oriented, one each exhausting to the floor and the ceiling. I have an idea that spatial presentation will gain a big boost with both up and down firing...

ZZ, clearly, no single driver or pair of drivers can reproduce the range and power of an orchestra, and each of us deals with this according to our own personal demands and resources. The concern of this thread is trying to juggle/work with "phase" ...

... so the new drivers, particularly the S2, may not be such a bad deal given the price of older drivers. The woofers would probably be less of a risk than the compression drivers, and at least new cones and bits and pieces are available. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it ...

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

Ok, let kill the subject of Oleg Rullit out of this thread. Rullit has very little to do with horn and consequentially with compression drivers. Sine this thread is about MF compression driver I think there is no reason to pay attention what Rullit d...

Interesting, according to the link the guy moved from 4 Goto drivers to Rulited Lowther and Foxtex. I wonder if he got sick to burn his Goto drivers. I also wonder what would happen if insted all of it he use the default JBL 2440. Surly, both Goto an...

[quote user="haralanov"] Even if he has his channels time aligned at digital domain, the fact that they are arranged in the horizontal plane, especially with the tweeters placed on the outer side in context of the other channels, makes his system abs...

I spoke on the phone with the manufacturer and he assures me the new production is exactly similar to the old drivers, the machines and people making them are the same.About the diaphragms, the last batches of the old drivers already had the diaphrag...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] This event really reinforces my curiosity to try such drivers in the Mid-Bass horns. As there are plenty here in Europe, that is exactly my plan (most however are not 16O... don't know to what extent that might be an issu...

Hello again, Romy.. let me see if I can clear some of this up....
first, you are indeed correct on your horn thoughts.. but some clarification is in order...
Ming Su is the importer of GOTO to the USA... Goto Japan only ships horns from flar...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installa...
