[quote user="vakman"]Thank you for your reply and honest feedback that there is no silver bullet.In the interest of trying to move forward, is there anyone in Sydney, Australia who has a Macondo based speakers, whom I maybe able to visit and enlighte...

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 worry about alignment. T...

Angelo,Although the idea might be looks like an “elegant” at a hi-fi shows but unfortunately it has a lot of pitfalls, the terminal pitfalls for my point of view. This is only my opinion but still:1) LF channel- the bassmaxx. I never had or hear...

I am not a huge fun of S3 for MF use as the ceramic magnet is less interesting then alnico magnet for HF applications. For the low mid, or as I call it the Fundamental Channels the HF problem that ceramic has do not manifest themselves. My Fundamenta...

Thanks for your advice Romy and Stefano.I have used RTA with condenser mic in my past systems but I admit I am no professional at it. But I am not clueless with it either.. In my previous setup when I was playing with open baffle designed speakers, ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Herman, I completely do not understand what you ask. The physical aligning of magnets is absolutely irrelevant. The crossover slopes are irrelevant. [/quote]OK.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Why would you need to do switching b...

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...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

My idea is a upright horn like your "midbass hanging thing", at 200 hz for the smaller size of it, and this will be my work for 2009/10. What I would like is exponential curve, not tractrix horn, something like this one...

I went to THE Show again this year, along with a couple of audio friends. This year I was better prepared, with preconceived notions about what I wanted to see/hear, and where to find that gear. I did not try to “cover” the show, at all. I just wa...

[quote user="drdna"] Fundamentally I think the injection channel and layered sound are different things. The injection channel is designed simply to compensate for the timbral shortcomings of a particular driver. However, because of lobin...

Some thinking about Romy's Injection Channel (see the following thread) : GoodSoundClub - Romy the Cat's Audio Site - The "Macondo Ultimate" MK-XXVII, Revision 432 ... brings me to a question that I've had a for quite some time: When aligning a "norm...

It is very easy to figure out acoustically. Feed the drivers and their crossover with a reference tone of fixed amplitude and fixed frequency, roughly in the middle of crossover point. Disconnect one of the drivers and measure the acoustic pressure e...

My experiment with midbass channel last week was wonderful
in a wild position. It proved that I have enough gain to drive my current bass tower
from Milq. Also, it proved that using a small midbass in wild position and playing
with crossovers I ca...

Well, I'll stick my neck out and tell you what I think. I would say that it sounds right now that you have a kind of undefined idea of how you understand the sounds of audio reproduction. Sort of on the level that you know that you like s...

Of course the issue here is not so much time alignment as it is whether the physical structure will allow/facilitate decent LF. And of course "framed" structures eat some LF and create a +/- unpredictable LF environment.Two of many questions are, wh...

A correction: the installation above is not Reinhard’s but by Klaus Speth. Klaus and Reinhard experiment with audio together and Reinhard has his own Goto setup. Here is more information about Klaus’ system with Reinhard’s comments:

Godel was brought as an illustration of principle when the person used purely mathematical methods to prove philosophical incompetence of mathematics. No one fascinated with his conclusions mathematically, in fact mathematicians prefer not even talk...

I've been thinking about this matter for a while but could not find a better excuse to formulate my theory then in this topic. My simple theory is that if we reduce our concept of "music" the more fundamental concept of "sound" as point of reference ...

Hi Jorge, Thank you for the response. Re: cable, yes I've been too lazy to install binding posts in the back of the cabinet. I have no good reason, necessarily why I am crossing the 250 Hz horn at 1k. I posted my measurement above, but of course this...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That is my constant dilemma while
I socializing with audio people. Om a surface the question about T/S parameters for Goto is reasonable.
It means now I need to correlate whoever I know Goto user and the people who
know ...

TH,Avoiding mistakes is something that we would like to do. It saves time and money BUT unfortunately the science of building loudspeakers is based on specs, not „Tone“ or „Sound“. Being an engineer can help make beautiful drawings but we all learn t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jorge, your comment about
the physical instability of the pipe stack is well taken. I think if it is gone
from metal then it is possible to make it steady. In the way how Antony want to
do the pipe feet I think it might ...

You might think I'd learn by now, but over the last two days I have traced sonic problems to the following: Dirty pins on one of the tubes in my phono stage; Loose counterweight set screw/too-heavy VTF; Loose cartridge mounting screw/...

[quote user="twogoodears"]I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "...

Hi Guy, The Oracle seems like a nice solution - I saw you write up on Peter Empson's forum. They seem compact enough for my requirements. How do you handle time-alignment with the mid-range? Or is this not a problem? To be honest with you I'm not exp...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Assuming situation 2 is possible, receiving mid-bass primarily as reflected sound, one would have to take into account the reflected path of that sound, and how it describes the mid-bass part of the image, relative to the ...
