[quote user="hagtech"]Interesting. I'm wondering here if this is the key to eliminating the honkiness I hear in most horn installations. From your experiments, it seems that the low frequency extension is key. Push it too far and it...

and this is the huge decision.. although Steve and Rich's drivers do have the potential for extremely wide bandwidth, I feel that the first decision when designing a horn speaker is to decide how many horns and the corresponding crossover points...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

hi Koshka Sr...the reply has been illustrative as usual... when you> finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range. :-) yes, but then we have residency....5, maybe 7 years of *relative* poverty :-O > When you ent...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

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 first in line, the horns. They stressed out that particularly the horn flares where not within the comfort zone of their own developer team.That triggered the recruitment of Bruce Edgar. The design is only his, and they took it 1:1. Of course too...

The best driver I have heard is the TAD 4003.
It does not use the secondary resonance of the suspension, as described by Duke LeJeune above for the TAD 4001-4002, to extend the response towards 20 kHz, but has a natural roll off from app. 15 kHz.
I...

[quote user="Wojtek"]This is probably the reason I can listen to EV Patrician IV in relatively small space and close to the speaker without much of fatigue. The other factor must be that it's 4- way design with narrow band-pass for each horn. E...

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...

[quote user="serenechaos"] If I were in your shoe I would take make as you wish but wish a slight correction:
65Hz Tractrix from ~80Hz to ~800Hz w/ fane 8" ( or better driver) 250Hz LeCleach from ~800Hz to ~10kHzJBL 2405 ribbon from 10kHz up

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...

I saw today link of a Russian guy who was trying to make set a playback around JBL-2490.

The speaker turn out to be a ridicules – 2490 in upperbass shorted version of WE horn...

Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. I do believe, in a 2 way speaker system crossed over at 800hz with a good wood horn i wil...

[quote user="Saturntube"] Anyone has some sort of comparison between compression drivers against cone (dynamic) drivers in a this huge mid bass horns, or even upper bass horns. All I heard are this guys from Germany with the out of reach expe...
|
|
Thanks, Be, for a correction but the fun part is no one acknowledged your blander. The Goto drivers I think are exotic terra incognito for most people and I think it is how Goto Company is willing to keep it. No one talk about nuts and bolt of Goto c...

[quote user="nietzscheflake"] I am also thinking about how to get that headphone sound in my house and am contemplating the horn route… [/quote]
It ‘s fine but never forget that the imitation of headphones sound is NOT something that need to b...

I care less about Bret and his business, in fact I have no idea who is he. Since he use audio as business then what distinct him from any other audio whore. A purpose of any business is supply demands and capitalize on the frustrations, investin...

Do you remember in the brilliant cartoon “Ice Age” there was that lovely character who was going of his way in his infinite chase for the nut? I feel audio people have the sale obsession with ribbons, or more precisely with importer use it ribbons. R...

Cat...your ability to look at a picture and diagnoseminutae of sound and even the character of the system owner is impressive.As you know from previous discussions, I am a fan of direct experience as a discovery procedure over intellectual manipu...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

I recently made some highly attractive changes with the way in which I use S2. Now, since the S2’ top got cleaned up the universal misery of universe bothers me tremendously. :-)
Really, the S2 runs in my 400Hz horn up to 12.5kHz and the S2’s 12.5kH...

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...
|
|
Have you tried using the Edgar350/2441-combination between the upper bass- and midrange horns, like Romy’s fundamentals channel?
I use a very similar combination (140 Hz and 600 hz tractrix with Studio 8M and JBL 2420 drivers, respecti...

[quote user="danvprod"]My objective is to create a system that is able to emotionally re-create music in a powerful and realistic way. My greatest memories are playing in orchestras and sitting in the middle of the violin section with a hundred o...

Hi everyone,Ive been tracking this exciting conversation for some days. One from outside may think this is weird, we are making a lot of air about some sound-description without getting to the point. Im (or was) normally more rational. And if I read ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
There is absolutely nothing in Fane 8M specifications that is responsible for the diver sound. So, what is the purpose to ask about the new specifications?One might think that someone can use “specifications” as an assu...

Keith,
Thanks, I do not see any needs to discuss anything with Ralph – I am not a prospective buyer and what I had interest personally about Gammas I have already understood. It does look like those Cessaros people took horns eventually seriou...

Hm, very different and very opposite result, interesting. Are you using the same S2 diaphragm as I do – the metal suspension? If yes then it would be the only one explanation that I might come up with.
Sometime the compression drivers with horn form...

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...
