[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

A lot of people ask me about those drivers and I’ll try to compile my vision about them. I did try most of the possible tweeters: dome tweeters with cloth cones, varies type of hard metal domes, compression drivers with aluminum, titanium, phenolic a...

I had many interesting listening experiences while I used the Water Drop’s Macondo. I would try to surmise briefly the sonic consequences of the Water Drooping. “Me” and “briefly”, would it be possible? Well, where did you see a Jewish boy who refuse...

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 ...

I think I have too much time on my hands or use my time in highly stupid fashion but I decided to do today the experiment about witch I was thinking for a while. The experiment was “methodology clean” and lead me to quite interesting discoveries. Sin...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

There is no "one tube DHT amp." There are only amps with gain in one box or two boxes.
Your 6E5P tube is not so special. People have been making WE437 spud amps since the 1960s. There is a class of amps that use a high-gm tube driver and a DHT out...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and
dramatic” Bruckner.
To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts
at resolving the most

if I did it again then I would not do it in context of multi-channel amplifier

I'm not sure I understand what point you consider a priority, but I can explain the reason for my initial inquiry and what I intend to do.My initial inquiry was intended to acquire information on whether a horn with a target range of 40Hz to 400Hz co...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The most important in audio is a state of realization and obtaining this state is a matter of time I am afraid. Let pretend that tomorrow I will build/buy some kind of speaker that would do the perfect ULF channel ...

Sorry, I do not share your sentiments with those 3 reasons. Below are my reasons.

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...
