[quote user="Wojtek"]These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ?...

Mani, sorry, but I forget if you mentioned very specific size limitations. I have enjoyed in spates but am generally wary of "big sound from small boxes", as this invariably wears thin, eventually requiring not only a tiring stretch of the imaginati...

I have noticed that after playing music through speakers, the sound warms up and becomes more dense and relaxed. It would be an experiment to let the system stay "on" for an equivalent amount of time without playing music through speakers to hear the...

Herr Wolf von Langa is a gentleman from Southern Germany (look at the link here http://twogoodears.blogspot.com/2009/03/great-site-from-germany-field-coils.html).He and his sister are dealing in modding vintage speakers, speakers woodworking and vint...

Ah, I see, they claim cobalt magnets only for tweeters… this sets everything to be more understandable. Those TADs should be replaced in those speakers in such case – but it would be shame to do it paying $150K for the speakers. In fact for $150K the...

Last week I listened to some small back loaded speakers using Fostex drivers where the cabinets had deliberately been made to replicate some of the qualities of a double bass or cello. Apparently very thin cabinet walls etc.While I have some reservat...

seavan, I would not recommend to get Milq to use with 88dB sensitive speakers. In fact it might be dangers for the speakers tweeters. You will not have any interesting sound even is you in a very small room and will be listening at very low volume. I...

As high end speakers go these aren't that atrocious looking. Let's face it: speaker design is frozen from WW2. We have horns, panels and box speakers as we have had for a couple of generations. Even the driver elements are variations on a theme. I th...

[quote user="Markus"]These speakers were not open baffle. [/quote] Actually they are. They might not look like open baffle but they have all negative conceptual characteristics of the open baffle. I think to properly evaluate what those type of the s...

The Reference, then the Reference Signature, then comes the Ultimate Reference, then the whole thing sucks and you start again with a new, completely different Reference...That is of course just complaining about the business, not the actual speakers...

[quote user="drdna"]Maybe I don't know what DPOLS is, as suggested by others in this forum. All I know is that I can spend a lot of time fiddling with the exact location of the speakers, the sepcific 3 dimensional alignment of the two sets of d...

Keith,
Very good, thanks for the images. It would be very interning to learn what the bandwidth of the horns, the bandwidth of the drivers and the specificity of crossovers you eventually chose to use with each channel. It might take for you for a w...

Visited audio show in Montreal. Once again realized that only horn speakers can sound decent. So I was wondering, if someone with experience could tell me the basics on horn speakers. I apologize if my question sounds really stupid, but I am not sure...

Hi Jorge,If $18,600 is the price of your 4-way horn system, even without knowing more about the sound and the choice of drivers, I think it is an amazing bargain by anybody's standards in the current high-end audio landscape. I hope you are inundated...

It is always a better solution to go with high sensitive speaker designs in combination with tube amps. The Lamm amps will work very well with such sensitive speakers.Speakers should be always seen in a combination with a matching amp. Makes life muc...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I don´t know whether you are familiar to Stig Carlsson´s speakers. The result achieved with Carlsson speakers is a stunning spacial realism when fed with true stereo recordings. With synthetic reverb recordings the sound just stic...

I have the Zu Druid's which Romy has referred to. I purchased the speaker's based on the presumption that their high sensitivity and impedance would be perfect to run SET amps. After having read the great success Arthur Salvatore had running the Fra...

Hi Romy,You should have to check Tom Danley's speakers at http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/. He has quite a few tapped horn subs and Synergy horns for PA, but there are people using his speakers at home, like myself. I have changed from Avantgarde Acos...

Delet if not proper topic. Was wanting to experiment with 6e5p driving lifeless speakers. with possible 100v swing i'm guessing way to much for regular garbage amps. What are peoples ideas for lowering output v (to like >5v?) with out destroying...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

A brief search for the Barefoot Sound speakers suggests that it is very important to the designer that the speakers be compact, which (if they are actually acceptable in terms of sound) might be a boon to apartment dwellers, students, teens, etc. Fo...

So i'm wrong...it's weird because he likes only horns and critizize magico mini.He has the same narrow minded way of thinking music (dynamic, dynamic and dynamic)You have an ideal of music reproduction very precise, why don't you try to make speakers...

The thread is derivation form the previous thread about the Dima's amplifier.I was trying to gradually approach better and better loudspeakers with the Zarathustra amplifier but today I decided to hit with the Zarathustra the pinnacle of low sen...

Connected today Melquiades and Macondo in new room. Macondo uses drivers as they are – no time or axis aliments of any kind yet, no Insertion Channels, no level calibration by channels. I just in-phase the channels and sat to listen, to see what happ...

Paul thanks for sharing this video,Looking at topology of DeVore's new speakers I thought there is a smart mind behind its design. Just wishful thinking...Watching that disappointing clip was an eye opener, I completely changed my mind. Those speaker...

Dear Paul, I have no idea how the low -or high- frequency response of these speakers are, for me it's impossible to judge a system on youtube, it's beyond me. It is possible that they are very good sounding speakers. But what annoyed me, was the ...

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

I saw that one of the DSP processors has an option to put a pair of "rear-type" ambience speakers in front, along with the main speakers. I am probably describing it incorrectly, but this sent my mind waay back in the GSC archives, to the days of res...

Works by heating the air. Similar in function to plasma tweeters.Could be promising for midband i think. Might be too slow in cooling in high frequencies.Its not linear though. Needs to be equalised...http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/04/carbon-nanotub...

Romy---A pal uses JBL 3115s, speakers for small picture theaters that use a similar horn-loaded cones in a narrow range, from 250 or 300hz up to 1600hz.They sound pretty good, better than any high-end type speakers I've heard.Keep in mind though...
