Jessie-There are the current japanese teflon sockets, and vintage american manufactured sockets - I think either should be fine. The pin springs on the OEM pair I replaced had no grip or spring characteristics. When the pin holders are bent, they ...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

Well, I understand all of it but I not exactly agree that I need to convert the room into English grandmother style, of even worst into physical lab. In fact I have seen a few relatively loose rooms that sounded fine and I hope that the specifics...

Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox site went live at 9 a.m. this morning. It has very interesting implications for the compression drivers landscape in that it suddenly makes buying a hi...

Samuel,
I did not at all mean to recommend Cabasse speakers... My point is not brand-specific... I just happen to stop on that pair as an...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]As a way of forcing myself to see the thing as a whole, I will start by converting this schematic to a 3D CAD model, illustrating each component and its relation to the others (with more distance between the parts than in ...

First of all thanks to all who assist me with this project, including those who did not post here.
Jim, Electraprinted Jack is great guy but he does not believe in exotic cores, very unfortunate because I like to deal with him.
Jessie, you are righ...

Your latest post got me thinking in a sort of incomplete way about how you might locate the injection channel... If you consider tone as a harmonic of the original source, then (depending on the order of harmonic) it may in fact not be co...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] Very good. Raal 70-20XR...interesting. [/quote]
Oh, yes, the 70-20XR is very interesting. I did not have this driver but Alex allowed me to experimented with some elements of it’s design in context on my “Wa...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Forgive me for being so forward, but I have been holding it in for some time, and am right now, at this very moment, ripe for saying that I see this MiniMe thing as being analogous to an affair with a capricious little mis...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Wow, 6 x 15" drivers (!!!); though the curved profile certainly imparts rigidity, I'm guessing this horn must resonate more than a bit (no bracing until the mouth) -- but I like this thing.
Interesting, the phase plug-lik...

[quote user="manisandher"] For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. [/quote]I very much applaud to the desire to have speakers that do ...

Yes, it is certain in what I proposed there is majored disadvantage of having a suspended floor. A suspended is like a bad turntable – no matter what you do you would never be able to get proper lower octave. The idea to have horn firing from ro...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

OK, now I am happier as I did my duty and the back chambers are ready to be attached to the horns and to be lifted up. Yesterday I spent 5 hours trying to build the back chamber displacement that Jessie and my carpenter recommended me. I bought t...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...
