Yes, Paul, I got your points and I find them valid. It is hard to explain what I’m interested in. When I try to convey those ideas then to people are under faulty presumption that I looking for some custom coloration, like SPU or Tannoys form 50...

A few days ago a guy from Western Europe visited me. It was a typical audio visit: a couple hours of listening session, a dinner and a long talk. The guy was interested buy the fact that he was not a product of Hi-Fi Americana (he was more close...

Here is a VERY interesting paper http://www.anstendig.org/Stereo.htmlSTEREO: A MISUNDERSTANDINGTHE THEORY, SOUND-SYSTEMS, AND PROBLEMS OF HEARINGThere is a common misconception that the addition of stereophonic sound-reproduction was the necessary, c...

2023 was pretty weird for me, continuing battles with health issues and enduring cures that have been worse in some ways than the ailments. Somehow, I managed to build and integrate The Loudspeakers during this time, resulting in what turned out to b...

Something worth thinking about as one chases an “ultimate
sound system” is that “accurate” playback will likely reveal sounds of the
recording process along with the musical performance. And The Loudspeakers are
certainly “guilty” of this. From kn...

scooter,Interesting that you attribute the effect to amplification, not to the loudspeakers. You might be right, I do not know – I do not have a lot of experience with getting right sound from SS amps and for me is a big mystery how they work. The B2...

Since my new room is set and the playback is installed and configures I name an interesting observation:

This weekend I visited a friend of my in NY who played to me his playback. I need to say that I did not care too much about his playback and visited him as I like him not his audio adventure but the Sound of his playback did surprised me. It was not ...

atilsley169, I would ditch your request to define term high-end. I think you might do it for yourself if the defining of the term is important to you. Your second question however is very interesting. You ask if the purchase of a $20k speaker in itse...

As I reported at GSC, my CD transport started acting up (skipping) quite a while ago, at a time when I was unable to deal with it. I thought at first I had ruined several CDs by playing them in my car, but that turned out to be a coincidence. When I ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in co...

Very cool, James, it would be very interesting if you put your ears into an investigation of “Ooopsy back chamber.” I was wondering about the A45 Lowther as well. The 125Hz midbass horns that you made, how big the input hole in there? The attempt to ...

Hi Romy,My experiences with the SL6 and SL600 date back 15-20 years. My problems with the sound I could get from them related to their inability to recreate music with scale or drama. I found the subjective lack of high frequency output made every re...

Chris,
I do not know how my opinion about the Dunlavy related to news about the Kharma Loudspeakers. There is a differents between the “not-effective enough drivers” (for instance the woofers used in your SC-V) and the fundamentally faulty drivers t...

Hello,Can you give me some ideas for a good room? Also, audio related ideas are always welcome too.The initial plan is a room with 5m H x 10m W x 14m D (about 16,5ft H x 33ft W x 46ft D). Solid floor, probably porcelain tile (chess floor style), and ...

Somebody at AA posted a typical post: “Stop the overabundance of high$$$ reviews and get into the real world.” http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/critics/messages/7/74050.htmlThe criticism is kind of “standard” but unfortunately the perception is very...

Just listened to Gould’s unusual Brahms Intermezzi (See Music Board) via
the Loudspeakers for the first time. The speakers were powered by the MA-9S2s. Of
course I’ve noticed before how Gould deconstructs these pieces. Today I took
advantage o...

Hi Romy,It seems that the idea of tone is not only lost to most speaker designers but to most electronics engineers as well. When you hear the excrement most designers call an amplifier you would swear that they have never not even once heard a real ...

I started to pay attention more deeply at what people do with monitors. The more I look at the available 2-ways monitors the more revolting picture I see. Today I heard one super expansive monitor that all those cretin-reviewers are drooling about la...

Q: What happens if Dick Cheney decided to buy loudspeakers?A: The US Force attacks Arctic Poll, US Congress declares South California as “axis of evil”, Halliburton order from Haliaetus HA-325 speakers with 5400% mark up and re-brand them into “Horn-...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]7) Location of power amps : Yes, the power amps sit within the frame, on their own sliding support between the Upper-Bass and Upper-Mid horns. For the moment I am using a pair of ML2s from 60Hz and above. (below 60Hz I use...

Via Mengelberg’s performance of Ein deutsches Requiem, Philips CD
Perhaps it’s possible for someone to “get” Brahms’ Ein deutsches
Requiem by way of a table radio. Speaking for myself, I only got hints that way,
and it wasn’t until I took speci...

It’s been a while since I visited face to face with my World-traveling
friend, Mark. He came by yesterday, and we talked and also listened to Music
via my MA-9S2s and The Loudspeakers. It was all LP playback. Mark has had his
own giant hi-fi syste...

Like I said in my previous post, I lost my
tonearm/cartridge synergy a while back, and then I realized that I needed to
replace the surrounds on the drivers in my BassZillas, and I shut the system
down for some time, until I got The Loudspeake...

Something about The Loudspeakers that shoppers have
likely noticed is that the original design electrically splits the 18” woofer
from the MF, HF and UHF drivers. And,
just to be clear, there is sound thinking based on lots of experience behi...

It directs to a "brochure" jpg with no information about any amp. Would you care to develope your opinion about the "interesting amp" by de Lima? I would like to know why in spite of not finding its sound of any special interest, you still find it wo...

Have you read Alton Everest's "Master Handbook of Acoustics?" http://www.amazon.com/Master-Handbook-Acoustics-Alton-Everest/dp/0071360972 Not about loudspeakers, but a lot of info about rooms, and interactions. Not a "textbook," but a lot of subjec...

Good summary, Markus, I would add a few more reasons but what is the point. The key is that bass from back loaded horns is dipole by nature or has a large dipole region. The back loaded horns produce bass similar in behavior of Sun during winter:...
