The room is actually bigger now (about 75m2) but the whole orientation has changed. The speakers were at the opposite side of the room near the windows. Having windows for a front wall had a detrimental effect on sound in the old layout. The absorpti...

Hi miab, my room is approx. 6x5x4m, so although quite small by North American standards (not UK!), the ceiling is higher than that of most modern houses. This seems to play a big part in the LF performance of any speakers in this room. I currently ha...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

This is a very interesting issue you raised. I would say that before audio designers could proceed in such a textbook manner they would have to be able to recreate original sounds in any given environment. (I'm limiting the discussion here to acousti...

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...

Yes, this Model 19's have brand new foam surround and brand new refinish grills. I know what kind rebound distortions those kind of horns create without surround foam but the miserly that they crate is much more than this. I do not know what kind cr...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"]The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wou...

Anthony, I can't answer for Romy, but short cables are one (big) advantage of "centered" equipment. As for pulling speakers away from the back (and side) walls, don't most "big sounding" speakers require this, anyway? Sure, a "bass null" for equipmen...

I am just reminded of the long-since-superceded (naturally...) 10" Tannoy "mid-field" "pro" monitor. I think it was the TM10, which also used it's cabinet to very good effect, at least in terms of voicing. You want "bubbles", I...

[quote user="Paul S"]It seems like many speakers that might be acceptabe at low to mid volume with simple music begin to compress and otherwise screw up when "pushed", either dynamically or with more complex music. Of course, plenty of people really ...

OK, I am keeping my new The Loudspeaker(s), and I will be selling my large "Diamond Edition BassZilla" OB speakers that feature OB high-passed Lowther DX-4s running wide range (NOT full range!) over 15" Audax PR380-M2 woofers in integrated BR boxes u...

JJ, I not only loved the bass from the ML2 (SETs) but I loved the bass from the little Wright WPA 3.5 SETs! In fact, I loved everything about those amps, as long as they were "comfortable". Too bad that wasn't FR, etc. with my speakers...in my own ...

OK, I have one foot back in the water again, a hand-me-down monoblock from a "well-respected movie sound producer", to whom I am connected through dear friends. Like most "sound professionals", he is fairly dismissive of the way "we" hi-fi nerds go ...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

Greg, I have written about my "DEBZ" speakers several times at this site, including Post ID 3269, early in my original Lamm ML2 thread. I mention these speakers now to compare what we are aiming at here to what I have already done, wh...

Thanks for the advice Romy.But actually, I may not need new tweeters after all (for the time being, at least, until the dreaded 'Autumn Sound' arrives).You see, when I connected them up, I didn't really think too carefully about the speaker...

I have been running my nominally 8 Ohm speakers from the ML2s' 4 Ohm taps for quite a while, in order to keep the sound from getting squirrilly and to keep the bass strong enough.Today I used the re-capped/improved K&K phonostage as a source and ...

Hey guy, syop your bullshit just for once.Ok this thread was not appropriate...fine.If i come here -at first- it was not to ask for advices, it was a case of emergency (sorry to everyone if it has bothered you).Now i've come here to discuss about sou...

Hi everyone,First, thank you for all your advices. The university take many most of my time, so listen to speaker had been difficult.So......I come back with many things too tell, i have made some listening sessions to find a good speaker to work wit...

I have also used the Eton drivers in a MTM configuration and I very much enjoyed the sound I was able to get out of these for several years until I got the EdgarHorn speakers. Actually, I still have the dynamic speakers set up in the same room, very...

What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by the technical achieve...

In the past month I have been playing around with a sub-woofer. This is my first experience with a sub. Prior to this, I held a bias that subs generally cause more problems than they solve. I am using a sub now because the main horn...

As you can imagine, the ML2s simply surprised me. I thought only of optimizing my speakers, what might drive them to their best, to see what they could do with fewer amp-induced limitations. And the ML2s have done much of what I want...

At this point I think that the main advantage of efficient speakers is that they represent the best chance for a sort linearity that to my knowledge can't be gotten any other way. It seems like inefficient drivers simply do not sound the s...

maybe what is mentioned as being some myths is closer to what at least used to be pretty close to the actual truth?Wilson speakers are pricy, expensive, un-affordable, take your pick. So maybe some of the commentators about Wilsons never had one ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

Actually I would like do not use the post above as a promotion of a specific speaker or a specific topology - it is what the cretins from Audiogon do. I’d rather like to suggest whoever cares to think about our idiotic consumer conformism when we, th...
