[quote user="harold"]I heard a friend's horn system recently and was very impressed. I don't have the resources to put together a diy system as discussed here, amazing as they seem, but am looking for recommendations for commercially available finish...

The May 2018 Stereophile helps to roll out Wilson's new, "smaller" Yvette speaker. Though I did not get much from the review I was interested to read that Wilson (finally) intends this "smaller" speaker to be qualitatively like its big speakers, and ...

Rather involved discussion about Helmholtz-type speakers. Here's another proponent, Hans Kortenbach:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHBlikzKoRgI have only "heard" the Musical Affairs speakers on YouTube, but I have to say, they are able to do some s...

The only reason I have brought this up is because it is interesting to me when someone with experience, manufacturing capabilities and capital tries to make the best speakers he can, and I have heard and noted the best he can do over many years. And...

I first heard the WAMMs in LA, sometime around 1984-5, or so. They were multi-amped. I suppose my (SS) amps would drive the new WAMMs FR, since they will easily drive Mark M's giant electrostatic speakers to over 100 dB, measured at 5 m. They are ...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

[quote user="drdna"] 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. [/quote]

Maybe my output tubes are fading already because that seems like a lot of drift happening pretty fast compared to what I have experienced so far. I suppose there is a lesson in it, in any case.No fantasy about dropping the current fro...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

"Speakers Corner Records revives classical music powerhouse with new Decca labal reissues! Much can be said about Decca. About how the record label founded in Britain in 1929 grew to be such a classical genre powerhouse, revered by audiophiles for su...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

First of all, the people who read this thread need to understand that I use the metaphor “idiots owners” purely in pedagogical sense. There is nothing idiotic to run neither single driver speakers, to have very bad speakers or not to have speaker...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com
As most of you know by now, I'm a horny type of guy. While my wife may dispute this, my audio system (actually my second partner) would have to agree as all seven spea...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 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 obse...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

[quote user="Paul S"]But now I am stuck thinking that if the DSP/LF amps curves are aimed at 19 Hz, and 19 Hz is limited to 88 dB, then an equalized output might also be limited to 88 dB before clipping and/or "unacceptable distortion" from the LF co...

http://hifiknights.com/reviews/speakers/rdacoustic-evolution/I think that David should search here about full range speakers. As he obviously can't hear the difference, maybe reading about it will help improve his designs.David, just for your informa...

Thanks for sharing, Romy! "Micro" and "macro" "schematics" would be a nice adjunct, to show how you hook up electronics and speakers, as well as speaker positioning. Of course, lots of recordings are treated with synthetic reverb, so those are gettin...

[quote user="Henry"]I've heard these Haniwa speakers on Sunday. They sounded terrible. My niece and her boyfriend went on Friday and couldn't get Kubo to play something other than classical music. When playing classical music, the sound was...

I tried dozens of different PA speakers at home in the last 5 years, and I honestly can say the only speakers could be used at home are the Danley SOundlabs speakers - at least according to my experience. The new SM60 is a very room friendly speaker,...

I just found this thread and can comment on the Enabled DX4s. Limono (Wojtek) very gratiously loaned his Enabled 8 ohm Lowther DX4 drivers to me this past summer (summer of 2008). It took my a while to make the crossover for these (I have...

For instance the narrowing distance between the channels increase the width of that damn audiophile’s soundstage, whatever it worth. Generally the setting the speakers wider from each other make soundstage wider. Yes, wit...

Well, that is a small room, all right. Regardless, a "mid-bass deficiency" alone could literally evicerate big works. I have written up the Kubelik/BPO/Dvorak 9, because I think so highly of that performance. It should absoutely be loaded to the g...

Non strictly on topic, but if someone wants to try two-channel quadrophonia:Free demos available at http://www.andreavonsalis.comSpeakers have to stand 4x90°. Rear speakers stand in the same distance as the front speakers and get the same signal. Bal...

My own limited experience with ULF has been that it hasn't been "directional" at all, and hard to say if "time alignment" is even a factor in most cases, apart from the inevitable delays caused by X/Os. Also, where the speakers wound up has been bas...

Over the weekend I had and took a chance to hook the amps up to a giant and "difficult" pair of speakers. I was pleased with the results, when the meters were running much farther to the right than I ever see them do when they are driving my own spe...
