[quote user="Paul S"]Over time I have observed that, in most cases, one quickly turns the corner from "enough' connector mass to suddenly arrive at "too much" connector mass. I started out with a cable clamp like Jessie shows for my 6 gauge "dedicat...

[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...

Hi Jessie, very many thanks for the info: looks like it should be easy to source in the UK, indeed their website lists several UK projects....

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Is the S3 as sensitive as the S2? [/quote]
Yes, they are appearing to be the same sensitively.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] After observing a pair of AK151s operating in free air, though only lightly driven, I just don't see how they can possibly generate so much pressure, as the cone barely moves! [/quote]
Why shout they move? One of the ide...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet read Romy's last post where he recommends putting the mic back at listening point). [/quote]
I would like to stress it again that t...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For now, the amplifiers I use are a pair of Lamm M1.1s (was going to look for a pair of used ML2s, but more and more considering building a pair of Meliquaides). Using the M1.1s with a pair of V.A. Parsifal/Encore (direct...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In my case, it has nothing to do with convenience, and believe it or not, everything to do with quality.[/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]For the past 10 days I have had to temporarily stop production of the horns and put off researching components for the amps; all this is due to my moving to a new apartment sooner than expected. This move is actually very ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]
I just poked around on eBay and it seems the 6c33C-B tubes are not so easy to find. There are however plenty of the model 6S33S-V. My understanding is that this is supposed to be a more durable version, intended to...

I love not only the beautiful results you are getting, Jessie, but also appreciate that the methods you are adopting allow you to continue to refine your horns on the fly. Particularly nice, to my way of thinking, is that you can tune your horn...

The enclosures are sealed and each measures 14 cubic feet. They are made from 70mm thick concrete blocks.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Make sure the power switch is off, and connect the power cord.[/quote] Unless you are a republican. If you are then you need to change voltage with power switch on and power cord attached.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]For your rear chambers, as they will be adjustable, it would be smart to go with a max volume that is larger than the max you estimate to be necessary. [/quote] The size of rear chamber is something that dials in the compo...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]… I do not fully understand the relationship between output impedance and diaphragm control; also I don't know what you mean by "negative impedance". Your mid-bass drivers have 15 Ohm coils; from what you write, I assume y...

Jessie, you know I am not a horn guy. I played with horns for 5 years, and I have heard plenty of them, and so far none have worked for me, musically. But I have remained mindful of horns' potential, and I keep co...
