I have used thick wool felt around the perimeter of my round horns at times. Having owned a pair of ROGERS LS3/5a's in my youth and being amazed at the huge sound those little speakers could effect one tries to re-use ideas. Diffraction control is ...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Have you use GOTO dirver before? Have you try it with the "GOTO" recommendation? Have you listen to GOTO in your own system? If not, I suggest that you do it 1st and then draw your own opinons then. GOTO never said don't worr...

Hi Romy, Many thanks for replying. I do not want to modify the two drivers. I agree with about all the BS from people selling speakers with TAD drivers. What I want to do is replace the crossover with one of higher grade parts and thereby also elimin...

[quote user="coops"]Ralph and Thomas are friends there would have been no price premium for the field coil option …[/quote]Considering that Cessaro claims that they pay for $500 worth TAD drivers (OEM) over $5000 then I might only imagine how much pr...

[quote user="Paul S"]Scott, is it your specific aim to configure an enclosure to "effectively" lower driver Fs? While this, along with an exponential increase in power, is a proven strategy for generating ULF, it seems like this approach creates more...

Yep, the IB sub does it's job, as I expected because I had an IB sub in my previous listening room. I think you will really like the bass of this configuration because from my past experience -- there is nothing as good as IB sub for low bass, for lo...

Romy,
I often note that you describe TAD compression drivers as being not to your taste. Could you tell us which of their range of drive units you have direct experience of and on what horns?
With regards to value for money, no such thing exist...

The idea of making a copy of an s2 driver also intrest me, but i have some other ideas than just copying this driver.I have been thinking to make this driver with an field coil magnet a 12 volts (using a car or camping battery) and a 250 volts versio...

Allo RomyOk, I managed to get my measurement setup running. Behringer ECM8000/PC soundcard kind of thing.I measured the following tweeters:Focal TLRTAD PT-R9Aurum Cantus G1Fane 5022I don't have an absolute level calibrator and I need to take time to ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It might be a good driver but the horn section of it is very much compromised to begin with. If I have it I would consider substituting the original TAD horn with my own spherical horn. It might be difficult as it might be ...

This is what the Cessaro sounded like last year:

[quote user="kodomo"]Hello AnthonyYou can see the two main problems being 70hz and 200hz in this graph. 200hz is from the floor bounce of the basshorn. I will add absorbers to the floor. The 70hz peak is from the Tad bass units sidewall reflection. T...

I left the SA8535 burning for entire day and nigh, driving it with HF “torture” signals. Interesting that the driver become much more civilized with those “alien sounds” completely evaporated. Honestly it become to sound much better… but at the...

This very musical masterpiece "owns" me since my boyhood, as my mother used to listen to it, as I learned about its title getting older (without NEVER knowing who performed it); sometimes she was reading in dimmed light, a book on her laps, more ofte...

An FM broadcast of church bells from the major cathedrals around Sweden welcomed 2014. Blessed with holidays in my family's home in Dalarna, the miracle of a truly great room was granted. Built with logs in 1947, spruce floor, ceiling, and since th...

hi Dominic i made myself the same question regarding the high frequencies in the orphean horn. the reason is probably because this horn has no compression, and the horn length is not so deep, and the exit diameter is 2 inch, quit big. If you read my ...

Coops, I think in some ways Romy is right in that modern commercial horn designs based on reference drive units do rather price themselves out of the market.
It's long been the preserve of the dedicated enthusiast and avid tweaker who is prepared ...

The cone soaking is a whole another subject all together. It is possible to make amassing changes with drivers, from taking the sound out off roof to complete killing sound. I know that effect Glycerin has to paper cone. There are hundreds of other c...

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

The EdgarHorn Titan is a very well made speaker, but I have identified in it a limitation in the midrange where the frequency response may not be ideal. This will become clear after I have analyzed the speakers with RTA.
Thinking ahead, I want to...

It does sound like a shoping list, not my intention, I was mainly trying to address some points 3 mainly:1- You have stated before that the 2440 or 375 is a good sarting reference, so I wanted to keep that comparison point. thats why I went back t...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

The reticulated foam makes a difference and that is for sure. However it does lower the output. From about 1db up to 2.5db! depending on the amount you put inside your horns. Is it transparent? It is not, as it creates and audible difference even if ...

Allo,Thanks for that - I've revisited the relevant portion of the "My playback" section and I have to say, I think I understand a lot more clearly now having a) spent time on this site and b) read the little recap in your post, which is a very cogent...

[quote user="ayebee"]An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would ...
