Conditionally all imaginable loudspeakers in audio could be divided by two groups:
1) The loudspeakers where the pressure from the front of the loudspeaker isolated form the press from the back (Sealed enclosures, horns with sealed back chamber...

I moved your post into a separate thread as I think your post about a subject, contrary to the thread where it was moved from was about the virgin fantasies… [quote user="Ronnie"] I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I'...

It is pointless to talk about the advantages of high sensitivity in loudspeakers. Everyone understands it and still it is mostly a terra incognito area in audio. There are very few more or less properly performing high sensitivity loudspeakers or dri...

[quote user="Gregm"]Coming back to the "multi-driver" spkrs -- especially unfamiliar ones. It has taken me a long time to "optimise" the positioning of a pair of 4-way spkrs (9 drive-units, of which two in the back, in phase)
….
One difficulty in ...

We, horn people, when we see as some kind of horn outsider begin to spill his foolishness about the horns inhalations, we always feel that out territory was violated by a primitive brain who listen a box loudspeaker. The Absolute Sound, in its ...

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...

At some point recently I became particularly aware of the
fact that the sound from the Loudspeakers has transformed significantly over
the five months that I’ve used them, not in the sense that the character of The
Loudspeakers has changed, ra...

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...

Up the thread I shared that sitting on the floor with my
ears at the same elevation as the center of the 10” drivers sounded good, and that
I planned to put The Loudspeakers on 10” stands so I could sit in my listening
chair with my ears at th...

“Reviewers” speak confidently about the various parts of
cited musical compositions, and in many cases I believe they hear what they say
they do. I think it is not only listening experience that bears this fruit, but
it might also be a gift, a...

Actually, Gregm, I think those guys are in a very right direction as they do discover an objective method of evaluation of loudspeakers. You remember I use to tell that I have a concept off purely mathematical function that expresses dependence betwe...

Thanks for the link, Romy. With JGH (RIP) long gone, it's good that HP survived. Is it just me, or has he pared down his writing style somewhat since "the Episode"?Here is another link, to his review of this year's version of the "Pipe Dream" speak...

Hello Romy,Here are some photos of what's been going on here: http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/loudspeakers.aspThe room modes I thought I had to battle suddenly disappeared the other day when I decided to try stuffing the boxes a bit. Suddenly everythi...

Well,I did speak with Damian in Technical Support at APS, and he informs me that this effect is something that they have reproduced in their lab, but only with extremely efficient loudspeakers and certain power supply designs in the amplifier. With ...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

Yesterday I visited a local audio guy who bought new speakers and for all intended purposes new amplifiers: I wanted to see what Sound he got. I did not like his Sound I literally did not acknowledge the visit as any audio experience. Very few pe...

Continuing the thoughts from the post: A powerful full-range SET? What a bogus idea! What I would actually would like to see is the industry not to furnish idiotic loudspeakers with granite drivers and then trying to push high power SETs to drive the...

Ok, how to start. First of all we have to understand that out subject of attention will be a region between approximately 80Hz and 500Hz or something that shape the fundamentals of the “melody range” within your playback. Search my site I have writte...

Today’s prices in Hi-Fi do not base upon any other principle then “whatever market bears”. The luck of objective evaluation methods and the completely un-liberated market of Hi-Fi consumers make the “market bearing” principles being completely not ap...

Rowuk got me re-thinking about how I arrived at the sound I
now get from my system. The short answer (shorter than the Long Answer…) is
that I started out trying to stay close to the sound of master tape from a nice
reel-to-reel machine. Right...

Jim, I know who Earl Geddes is. I think a couple years back we exchange a few emails where his attitude was that although he appreciate and mostly agree with some context of my site but he is not wiling to acknowledge it because he was afraid that an...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

I do not really believe in the ultimate ability of SET amplifiers to drive loudspeakers, at least any loudspeakers. I am not talking about the impedance fluctuations or the inappropriately low impedance dives. Those are well know issues. The people w...

[quote user="el`Ol"]…. there is some characteristic shining or radiance… [/quote] Yes and no. Radiance probably is a very good word to describe Wilsons. (Search the site for Focal Utopia TN51) The key in here is not letting the artificial radiance to...
