The Audiogon leader: “Oosterum Loudspeaker Systems”, the Netherlands manufacturer responsible for the Kharma loudspeakers, recently announced that they terminate the long-term relationships with corporation “Toys R Us”. The founded Charles van Ooster...

I have a lot of places within my site where I, in one or other way, spread propaganda about horn-loaded loudspeakers. Frankly speaking, if I were an “ordinary audiophile” then I would look at the Romy the Cat’s exuberance about horns and perceive it ...

A few months John Hasquin sent me a picture of someone’s horns suggesting … actually he did not suggested anything but after I saw the picture I was laughing hard and quite long. I found that those horns were very symptomatic to the most horns ...

I guess it’s time to talk about these amps in terms of The
Loudspeakers. In truth, I thought of these amps from the first time I thought
about The Loudspeakers, to the point where I “built and tested” The
Loudspeakers with these amps in my hea...

The Lamm ML3 made me to think about this subject. Since my negative expectations about the ML3’s Class A2 operation turned out to be wrong and since we go into expense and efforts (totally unnecessary in my view as DSET make it worthless) and m...

No mater how ridicules the title of this article sounds on my site but I was quite glad to see the in the May’s issues of Stereophile the Robert J. Reina review of Advent loudspeakers. I do not think that Advent’s review is a sign of some kind of sin...

Let start from the largest drivers and go down. There are larger then 18” drivers (23” and 30”) but looking at this magnet structures I do not find them serious. I addition to make the 23” cone stiff enough requires a lot of diaphragm’s mass or to us...

[quote
user="Newtohorn"]I have long followed posts in this forum and
wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. [/quote]
I would say that a properly
designed horn system compare to other speakers topologies should have higher total

The first and the bigger thing that I like about them is that Anima is trying to use the vertical-horizontal configuration where the bell of the vertical horn serves as frame for horizontal channels. I love this idea and had a number of my own th...

During the 2002 CES, late at night, a friend of mine demonstrate me something that was tying to address for a few years. It was a very different “tone” form a loudspeaker or I would rather say a different relationship between reproduced and auditable...

Cybernetic phase blah blah blah...I (barely) managed to resist commenting about those pathetic little 4" drivers huffing away in that long narrow box, but I can't pass this one up!Just the buzz-words alone; it's got to be a translation thing!Too abso...

Thanks, for posting the link. I never heard about this company.
Here are a few interesting quotes from the Morison Audio site:
“A conventional pair of front firing loudspeakers cannot recreate a natural stereo illusion. It always sounds like a soph...

I have been observing High-Efficiency loudspeakers for a while. I think I have seen/heard many of High-Efficiency endeavors and I think that I did develop acquired taste and some experiences about High-Efficiency results. So, I would like to pass som...

Hi Romy, I'm from the Netherlands and I've heard this news too.What do you think of Dunlavy speakers? Do you think they are crappy, worthless and outdated? I know John Dunlavy used some cheap drivers on his speakers. I have the SC-V. Chris...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, when the “ordinary audio people” or the industry’s hoodlums express thier attitude toward to the “horn universe” then I perfectly understand their “evidences” and reasoning.[/quote]

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

This thread is a derivation of the thread: Wilsons, EMM, Ozawa, Saint-Saens and...[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]While in general I agree with Romy about Wilsons, I have once or twice heard them sound really, really good. On the other hand I have also he...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

I predict a highly probability that a new wave is coming in high-end audio loudspeakers. The today’s high-end audio the loudspeakers field is in a complex stagnation, the stagnation that will lead to the need to invent a new ways to sell loudspeakers...

[quote user="tuga"]Our milage varies and in my case it's still quite short.In any case, I would place glare on top of my list of appalling qualities of modern high-end loudspeakers.This glare (unlike clarity) results from an exaggerated high frequenc...

Audio people know that loudspeakers mostly define the quality of sound reproduction. Also, everyone knows that the capacity of the loudspeakers mostly determined by the capacity of the drivers that loudspeakers use. Regardless of the topologies, appl...

http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/loudspeakers.asp shows some photos of unfinished horns. Comments on mouse-over.The 250Hz horns are probably not super optimal since I'm crossing over at, I think, around 1600Hz right now. Yes, the little horns...

First I want to thanks all of the kind people who came by the GedLee room. I hope that we both learned something from these meetings.
