No system ever resembles live music. imho. But you can get pretty close.Can you describe or share a pic of the horrid horns systems you have listened to?I also hate most badly designed "horn" systems too.Usually most "Horn" systems have a 15" woofe...

Very interesting way to frame it, Adrian. I always unthinkingly thought of "neutrality" as "faithful to what's on the record", with a Grand Assumption that if there's music on the record, then a +/- "neutral" system will let it out "unscat...

Hello AnthonyDo not worry too much about how high the system ends up or how high the highest horn is positioned. If you are far enough (I am 470cm away from my drivers) and align them properly, the sound is right in front of you. Actually my system i...

Have been intently watching this discussion while on vacation. Returned last night and turned on system and one of my three units was given off a very low intensity buzz into the speakers. Detached the power cord and it went away and on replacing th...

The bass reflex construction of a system with the size of Grand Slam/Alexandria is a mystery I have not reasonable answer too.The behavior in the lower bass area can be easily predicted, specially in my "favorite" configuration when the ven...

"with only disadvantage in sensitively department" That's quite a big disadvantage from where I look at it.The way you describe the speakers with all of your other amplifiers seems to match how I recall them sounding. I cannot imagine how...

Hi Romy, I just wanted to mention that 'ground' in home ac is not 'ground' at all. It is actually 'neutral', a theoretical '0 volts'. In reality the resistance of the wire itself guarantees that there WILL BE voltage on that wire. Remember, vol...

Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a configuration the I feel co...

Thinking about it again and again I decided for now to have integrated connection of my AV. The BlueRay player will be plug to the preamp of the main system. The preamp will drive two power amps: Milq and SS amp. The Milq will drive the full scope of...

Romy,I agree with the very nice summary you have made of the situation. You remember that I struggled for a couple years to get PurePower to return my PP2000 which had gone for repairs, but ultimately they replaced it with a PP3000+. I just have to ...

That website is an example of how ludicrous the ultra high dollar audio gear can get.I have rarely,if ever heard a high dollar(over 100k$) system consistently engage me in musical joy without distracting artificial abberations.I have met in person w...

It is likely that getting any giant LF horn to contribute musically as part of a system will require a number of iterations, so it would be good to allow for this initially, somehow, to be at all realistic or practical. With...

i shut down my system every night. After 16-18 hours disconnected from the lectricity that it sounds somewhat quieter and more musical. But I Have also noticed that if I shut down the system for several days, on tunen the sound is greatly improved, q...

I saw and hear thise horns on audio show in Waraw this month(I went 200km to this show only to hear this thing). It is La-horn 200hz, smaler horn is La-horn 1000hz not diagonal. Drivers is BMS. Bass is TL. Orginal name of this system is ROCKET but th...

Djjjj,instead of reading the Macondo axioms, you ignore me and ask if I have listened to the ESD system. What difference does it make if you do not know what I am talking about? Yes, there are serious flaws in the ESD system. If this is the best that...

It remains to be seen if the foray into more nurturing, compassionate sound can be accomplished intuitively, or how much mind it will take to manifest the "solution". I go back to what sounded like frustration with a very complex system, and I know f...

Good for you, Jarek! As for the very specialized (and not always needed...) "bleeder" ground, it has been my experience that it has worked best when it is a "stand alone" copper rod driven at some distance from the service ground. I run a 12 AWG magn...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, we plugged the whole system into PP2000 with exception of bass amps. The sonic result was very exactly what I predicted. The fun part was with bass. Before, when the system was plugged into the wall the bass was reasona...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not like the idea of batteries for anything. It is kind of ridicules to use batteries. Yes, in some cases there is some improvement on low voltage electronics but it is ONLY because the power lines are badly sounding t...
|
|
Adrian, I have alternately revelled in and anguished over this for some time now, the lynch pin for me being the electricity. Yes, I can generally hear any change I make to the system, but it is consistently the quality of the electricity that ...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

Romy:I was not aware that manufacturers of multidriver system let you attenuate individual drivers. I guess if you multi-amp, then you have control at that level. I have never encountered such a system so I cannot say, but if it is an option, then ye...

Sorry to keep returning like this. Thought I;d mention a tweet that unexpectedly impressed me favourably -- the Murata ESTD01 (these are their "serious" tweets -- not the "audiophile" tweets). Nice. Directly connected, enters strong at ~14kHz, by its...

It seems pretty clear that what we do not have here is the proverbial "all-out assult on the state of the art"? For one thing, this requires a dedicated system approach, and when was the last time you saw anyone do this?&nbs...

Forgot to elaborate the Quad system.It is actually a tri-amp Quad system, below 100Hz is the Supravox 15in Field coil in open baffle, then it's a Stacked Quad ,and about 5Khz there were 5 RTR ESL cell. I did try the 6C33C amp in a single pair Quad by...

when I play over 10 hours per day my audio system in good electricity days (like 13 days of Iranian new year in spring) the sound get better and better every day (fully warm up) but in normal days the best way is shutting down the system when AC qual...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have absolute no knowledge if PP3000 or any other audio devise might or not might not be ”perfect for your system”. If you need a sales person why would butter you with subliminal messages and promise assured place in hav...

Thanks for your time Romy. I get the point, that's the kind of "sound" I'd like to reach, the sound that allows to grab those meanings, intentions, senses, or whatever that "loads" a certain performance. The "problem" is that if you haven't ever list...

Romy, after reading my previous post I realize I would have to express myself more clearly, sorry for the misunderstanding! This hobby is an important part of my life, I have specific opinions and am probably not less serious about them than you are....

[quote user="miab"]Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzin...
