Romy,you did not disappoint my expectation in your reply. Who can argue with the take: "bugger off and do some home-work"? On the other hand, when looking through that "Knowledge tree TM" it's more of a "forest" as far as horns are concerned. So it's...

[quote user="manisandher"]Hi Dima,Do you know if this is similar to the approach Tim de Paravicini took in his direct-coupled amp placed inside a Quad? I'm currently using Quad speakers (I gave up on the horn approach through sheer frustration) and i...

Thanks, Jeff. Another reader also e-mailed to me the name of the horn (Tineo Horn), and I used it to find this "shopping" link:

I read the review of the Magico Ultimate and I have to say I was disgusted. I am sure there are many self-proclaimed audiophiles who took the TAS trembling into their bathrooms like teenage boys with the newest issue of Playboy to drool over th...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

Hello, Angelo
[quote user="angeloitacare"]The best sound i remember, and never forgot, was at Holger Frommes Home, from Avantgarde Acoustic, the trios. I never heard something better. [/quote]
Yes, Avantgarde can do it if the situation is right. I ...

well fine, my X350.5 does 50 watt class A, and of course in push-pull. I use it with 120 watt max rated 3 way speakers of about 87 dB efficiency. You can see on the 350.5's centre instrument dial if you go out of class A. If I go out, I usually fear...

[quote user="ShuffleSk8Ter"] one of the main serious issues horn speakers ANY TYPE ....horn loaded will have right off the bat its own distortion! why?... because the horn is an amplifying device and in my way of hearing is very audible distortion!...

I look at it this way, it is all about your original source of prerecorded crap. Most of the problems with speakers are not the speakers it is the source of music the record album and the cd. Everyone is out of touch with the source, if you want good...

I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you use klipschorn, you ca...

When I was a teenager in the 80's and The Absolute Sound was my favorite hifi magazine, I always thought the Japanese were crazy because they did not believe in an "absolute" sound but were trying to create their "own sound".They also seemed craz...

how the Western Electric L-9 was made but I think it is not sealed

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. T...

Is speakers like altec 19 have time aligned drivers? I think I have never seen in internet time aligned 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass.Slowly I am closer to finish my first speakers with horns, the frame is adjustable (35-45cm drive...

Thanks The CatI'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.I as...

[quote user="js"]Thanks for the reply. I'm using a Jabo KH-55 horn for hf/upper mid, so I think I'll have to experiment with different size chambers. Beyma quote the volume displaced by the driver as 5.5 litres, so I'll start by trying a 9 litre (g...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

Of course we do not defend or support a given topology itself but we only wrestle with the results we are able to get from it. Right? But perhaps there are some basics we can agree on? Basically, if it's Tone you are after, you are swimming upstre...

To me the big green drivers in the midbass horn look like old Siemens Klangfilm or Telefunken (or other German manufacturer) 10 inch units. Maybe 12 inch... I had a pair of 8 inch Klangfilm once and they do have interesting tone across a couple of oc...

Outdoor performances always seem to me to fall short of indoor ones, and there are plenty of reasons why this should be so, but there is something attractive about a horn installation in a garden...it ought really to be made of rock, of course, f...

Hi Romy, As a recent convert to horn-speakers I have greatly enjoyed trawling through your website and I have learnt plenty not only about horns but also about questioning my own motives and the desired end result of a possible "from scratch" spe...

actually I'm from Iran and needless to say we are stock in the middle of nowhere here (sanctions,...) so we weren't able to hear much of the horn speakers, so we started to think we should do it ourselves because we are able to obtain CDs much easier...

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...

Since I last posted there has been some progress to my indoor and my outdoor systems. Indoors I have added a pair of tapped subs. I must say that I am quite happy with these. Of course they are not as good as full size front loaded horns but still a ...

I do not do anything with my Opera Room, and I am not sure if I will. Still, from time to time I pick from the tree of possibilities some very kinky fruits. My love to Mussurgsky is know and last weekend I visited my local audio guy who has a very go...
