Well,
The most miserable things about electricity that you never know what to do. I had in past different filters and mny imaginable power gismos, a number of isolated transformers, balanced transformers, regenerators…
For a couple years I was runn...

Romy,
Thanks again for your comments.
The RTA and filter mods over the past few days have driven me straight up to the local café to chill out; they have WiFi here (this being France, still no internet at the house)... I will be brief.

Hi Jessie!
I’m probably suggesting the obvious, but have you tried adjusting the crossover component values on the fundamentals and MF-channels? On the fundamentals-channel, increasing the inductor-value, and decreasing the cap, so tha...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

Well, jessie, this "home move" turned to be a bigger discovery of myself in many ways then I thought. I am 42 and I lived all my live in city, I never had any usable backyard, garden or even plants. The only green things I ever have seen were ins...

Jessie, you know it is sometimes disgusting to read your posts. In some cases you write posts that are one to one with what I would write and if not correct spelling then I would swear that it was written by me. A few days back, talking with a gu...

Yep, if I do it then I will do it right: with a single driver, with full length, with proper mouth, with slow profile and if it had curve then it will be properly linearly expending curve, not with the resonant chambers or with steps. The problem...

A site visitor sent me emails saying:
“Johan Dreyer says he can hear no time delay with his bass horns…”
Well, first of all I disagree with it. The fact that Johan Dreyer can hear no time delay is not an indication that delay is n...

Yes, Jessie, you get the idea correct. If a chair positions the upper body “properly” (whatever it means) then the upper part of body with attached to it head has no other way to go then to stick naturally out of the chair and does not need any h...

Not all the designers actually mention specific programs, but most seem to agree about the importance of the ripping and playback software.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I feel a driver needs to be somewhat hard-mounted to the enclosure. Cork gives the right sort of balance between hard-mounting and floating, while still sealing, however it would be a pain to cut that many gaskets from cor...

With recent popularity of music servers (as Jessie noted in music servers thread) people develop certain ignorance and indifferent to the material they play. When I say indifference I mean the very specific apathy that very directly contradicts my ve...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

1) If you decided to use the 12” JBL 2206H driver then I doubt that you might talk about 4” throat. A 12” driver with wide outer suspension might go with 7”-8” throat. The 6” might do, though it might be a stretch....

Jessie,
I was about to replay to your post and suddenly John Hasquin posted his reply that said exactly what I meant to say. In fact he has much more credential to assess the validity of you attempts then me as he actually build the horns. In additi...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Very simple... The WAF has had enough of the horns... She's met a new guy and is throwing me and a few tons of plaster out of the house! Worst of all, she has custody of the cats!

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Make an experiment, and I will simplify the case quite assertively. Take a typical compression driver, cross it at 800Hz, second order and load it into a proper contemporary horn (Tratrix or JMLC) of 300Hz. Listen that hor...

Romy,
I'm trying to understand your logic in choosing a multi-cell design (instead of a single-cell oval or rectangular 180Hz exponential horn of the same vertical height)... Was this in the interest of achievi...

Wow, Jessie, thanks for the detail deals of your idea. I have spent last evening to contemplate many possible design configurations and I desired to discard all my former ides of metal fine-tuning, even my machinist in on standby expecting my ord...
