I have heard Lamm ML2's in a couple of different people's home systems. Did they know how to use them properly? Well either they didn't (quite possible) or the amplifiers simply lacked the virtues I would prefer.Tommy Horning is the guy who makes tho...

I think some of the best horns I ever heard were reconstructed "theater" speakers that had their amps wired directly to the voice coils, just as you describe, above. This was my first notion of the term "dedicated amp", because of th...

Romy what is your opinion on Art Dudley's review and Stereophiles announcement Product of the Year of the Schimmel's Voxativ Ampeggio speakers. I've been reading all the magazines for 15 years and I am shocked that they did. This kind of product hard...

Against long odds, I got another chance to do some more careful listening yesterday. On a hunch, I put the Fluke on the ML2s, and, sure enough, the left channel had drifted up to 340mA and the right had moved up to 300mA. Once I dialed the oper...

I put my speakers (downward firing ports) on wooden boards which can slide easily over carpets.Not only did this improve the sound from my speakers (which was my original intent) but it also made it much easier for me to try different positions. I in...

to be clear:
i do have some expectation that 'my final solution' will consist of dedicated amplification per driver in a substantially horn loaded arrangement. I have some expectation that amplification will be single ended and quite likely have a b...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

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...

SamFrom your listings perhaps you do not mind if certain qualities of the speakers themselves come to the fore, as long as you get other things you want?I think the Verity Parsifals do need the Encore (is that it?) bass units, and you'd certainl...

People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the observation that there are no good ...

The reason why I asked about speaker enclosures is that I played with few SS drivers and the only one that I was able to make sound reasonably good in small box was 18 cm Revelator....

[quote user="guy sergeant"]From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !
I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.
If you can get any noise out of the SL600's I'...

ML2 is also making me hear my modified AI M3A pre-amp, not to mention I guess I could now benefit from all shielded cables. All this stuff was fine with the Wright 2A3s. Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond...

[quote user="montepilot"]The single most appalling quality for me is lack of clarity in high-end speakers. It is the first thing I notice when listening to speakers. I have heard many expensive high-end speakers that lack this quality. The music se...

[quote user="drdna"]Well, You really need to figure out what you want out of your speakers. There are some questions I would ask myself if I were in your position:1. You can eliminate a lot of speakers based on their size, sinc...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

Romy,Did you ever experiment with DML or BMR type drivers for ambience channels?https://www.tectonicaudiolabs.com/audio-components/bmr-speakers/https://uk.kef.com/products/t101-satellite-speakersThere is something quite wonderful about how they work ...

Robin, I'm not at all certain that my new speakers are "source tolerant", because I have "taken steps" all along to "ensure" part-to-part compatibility. I have tried to "sync" my phono and CD/DAC as much as possible, and the main thing I wanted from ...

Hi Angelo,Thanks for the kind words about our website.Hmmmm... it is really difficult to make the sound of the Avalon speakers have no depth or imaging (I presume you are referring to the Opus or Eidolon? Their small Symbol speakers do indeed sound a...

Hello Romy!I have been into the topic of indirectly firing speakers for a while, starting with highly dirictive fullrangers directed towards the ceiling. I don´t know whether you are familiar to Stig Carlsson´s speakers. Probably the older Sonabs wit...

Now I have had the EdgarHorns in my system for a number of weeks and have been moving them around the room and moving things in the room around to make them sound their best. So far I have come to this problem: when I have heard many othe...

I'm new to the site and have had an interest in horn speakers since owning my first SET amplifier over 10 years ago. I've heard about a dozen horn speakers at shows and private demonstrations but have never heard any that I could live with. I'm cur...

Dear CatThey do not shout or go hard when pushed.Metallic sounds such as cymbals and percussion instruments are the most life like.It also brings immediacy to the sound of speakers.Like you have said in another thread how speakers are the worst link,...
