Well, for one thing you will want to be sure of the location before you cut through your floor, ceiling, and/or roof!While the basic idea of the IB is to have "separate but equal" loads on both sides of the driver, there are plenty of reasons to work...

[quote user="Macman"] Anyways, seeing the back chamber of my midbass horn, you would say that its way to big, no? [/quote] It is very hard to say. You need to measure and to publish the resonance frequency of your loaded driver and view it in context...

Vasyachkin, to say honestly I do not think too much about dipole bass. What I head sounded unacceptable and it was unacceptable not by specific implementation but buy some common character that was characteristic to all dipoles I head. Loose up some...

Best regards,
Paul SI'm not sure that it is driver issue. May be 42hz horn equalization is effective only in 70-300 range.R...

Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and one side and the front have hu...

Romy, I realize that you have a good deal more acoustic drive available than I do, but here is my experience, FWIW: I lived in a larger version of a very similar configuration for 13 years. My listening room was in "the same" spot as you pictur...

I would like the people who read this site and those others whohave genuine interest in Vitavox understand that that subject of old Vitavox production is a bit tricky and I would not be surprised if the truth never be known. There is not such a thing...

[quote user="noviygera"] I am NOT talking about single wideband drivers or any back loaded type horns. I am talking about properly made front loaded horns. For example, the Danley Synergy horns, that use single horn with multiple drivers to cover a w...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

It kind of said the Massachusetts is very much not “horny” state and there is not a lot of enthusiasts of horn loading live in Massachusetts or in the entire New England. If we New Englanders have the saturation of horn interest as high as California...

Jessie, your post catches me thinking about multi-channel driver matching, as well. I am not familiar with the Fanes, but I wonder if simply throwing more power at them would make them nothing more than louder, so they would then "match" the res...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H[/...

Since I changed the LF transformer and increase the output stage loading I did address the problem with power limit. It looks like now the midbass does not clip at very high power and has some headroom – that is good. I however not absolutely comfort...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Below a certain frequency the advantages become a handicap. At that point (if you were using its EQ capabilities), the SMS -1 would start to step in... Whether you reach that point with your 10" arrays depends on how low ...

Well, what can I say; it is a LOT of work. The last night I was working up-to 5AM, beefing up the frame, trying different solidifiers and dumper, and evaluating the impact they do. I have fine the mouth of this horn and it is insultingly heavy – two...

Gentlemen:I've thought about this mid-bass challenge for quite some time. I have tried many approaches.For the sake of my example, let's assume mid-bass to cover from 60-600Hz. That just happens to be the classic "decade". I have to fully agree with ...

I can contact them again and ask for a price quote for the SLC. These people don't do audio at all. When I contacted them for my RE-1009/2T they couldn't understand how it was possible that any audio equipment could take any profit of their products....

I do not exactly comfortable with oxric’s preoccupation with “parts”. Yes, there are some amps that invest a lot of attention into parts quality – the silver winding in Kondo, oil caps in BAT, of silver foil caps in AN might be the examples. Melquiad...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]BTW, I have a local Bostonian guy have replied brought today a very interesting DHT amp. He has a number of DHTs and this one he reports is the special one, quite expensive as well. Although the electricity was not good tod...

Romy, setting aside for now the issues of loading, the observations about color seem at this point appear to be as much about 300B as they are about DHT. As near as I can tell, people who like the 300B's color-capability either like or do not h...

Again, moving the speakers last night I felt that I really would like to move the speakers closer to the mid of the room – the further the speakers from the back wall the more interesting sound. There is another “again” in what I felt last night. I t...

I think we're on the same path... maybe from opposite directions. I agree that if one can identify multiple devices that provide clean power without impacting the sound quality then thru some level of analysis one could hope to determine what f...

Let it be known that I am nearly clueless when it comes to electronics. Building speakers, racks, pianos, or just about anything mechanical is no problem for me to build myself and, unlike Romy, it is usually pleasant for me for various reasons....

.... the Haliaetus people did not even back-loaded their driver. If it was a horn loading then I might criticize the horn profile that they selected (and I do have quite a few arguments). However, those speakers are not horn loaded at all. They ...

Again, not to make a "formula", but I was thinking about the possible roles of the speaker in "offsetting" the typical upward-tending tone/harmonics of hi-fi. Sure, there are lots of strategies to "deal with" the upward tendency. These ideas mi...
