[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 ...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

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...

Hi Daniel, great initiative! More of that :) Can you tell us more how u measured??Like loudness, distance, settings? I know that Fuzz likes to sweep too short (0.1 sec. logsweep) and allows many crappy windowing settings...Maybe a nearfield (close to...

Well, whatever you do with your loudspeakers of with you whole playback system is kind of irrelevant if your drivers are not right. In my view the drivers are the very much heart of playback but in case of High-Efficiency and particularly horn-loaded...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

I am reading through those interesting threads.
I have just won a pair of S2 on ebay so I am interested in horns for them. I have fired an email to Vitavox Peter and I will get his diaphragms. Since my drivers are in UK, maybe he ...

[quote user="ulf"]A few years ago we discovered the tractrix horn for MF use. It was really the most important improvement so far. No more honking exponential horn sound. The improvement was so clear that A/B testing was not needed. [/quote]

Scherchen's Moving Mozart Requiem, June 11, 2005I have little objectivity when it comes to this magisterial Scherchen account of Mozart's Requiem. My first versions on LP in the 1970's were Bruno Walter's and Sir Thomas Beecham's (the former now on ...

Well, Merlin, it looks like I will have to take my lumps if I hope to get relevant information from you. Am I the first person you've encountered who feels you enjoy the idea that you always have something up your sleeve? I'm no...

Thanks, Paul
I have seen your comment about the TAD bug screens at AA. The bug screens are a touchy subject – with some driver removing them works fine with some made sound worse. I did not experiment with TAD’s bug screens…
Generally the bug scree...

[quote user="Kcct82"]I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

That is the thing exactly, my upperbass solution has the same output amplitude as the compression drivers I am using, IMHO resistrors are the devil in xovers, they kill all sound. Now the difference between 109 db and 110 db can be overcome with c...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

Romy wroteStill, somebody Armen reports that Cessaro with $2K TAD driver were compatible to Silbaone… so what the purpose to pay more than $700 for a pair of JBL 2440?
I must say sound of Cessaro was far more sofisticated than Si...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Here's what's behind my comment regarding the irrelevance of color: I strongly suspect that the new production diaphragms will come with transparent Mylar suspension. In that case, I would hope they turn out to have the me...

I am not impressed with that Hornfabrik and I do not see
what they do “right”. The video is expectedly stupid, with the “journalist” do
not know what they are asking and what they hear in response. For instance the small speaker they claim to have ...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.

Keith could you clarify? The TD 4001 has 1st order acoustic slope below 1khz when mounted on most horns. So adding a 1st order electrical slope to that surely does not make a textbook 1st order crossover.
If the 1601a is being run first order abov...
