Spend a good few hour moving the boxes, connecting the cables
and do other sort of things. Was looking for elegance and more symmetry. The
objective was to put midbass channel between the main horn islands and set the
horns, the midbass and LF in ...

[quote user="Serge"] Wouldn't you want to try some HF diffusing stuff on your back wall windows? Like wooden plank blinds if you see what I mean? Or you want the reflections to be catched earlier, behind the listening couch?[/quote]
Nope, it w...

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

I picked recently a pair of S3 drivers. Not that I need them but it was good deal – perhaps someone in UK have demolished an old movie theater and a large school of S3 drivers with original diaphragms hit the maket recently. Also, I always meant to t...

My 18-cell is a classic 18-cell very similar of the one that the guy from Sweden built:

The difference is that my multicell has 3 extra cells and out...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...

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 be possible to run guy wire...

If there is one thing that I have learned in life, and heard many times, is that making a mistake is not a bad thing if you learn from it. In addition the lesson learned is just as valuable if you learned it from someone elses...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] 3. GOTO
SG-146LD in 46horn 50-400Hz
I've added 0,7m length to 2m horn, so now my
mid-bass horn has 4" throat and 1x1m mouth and 2.7m length. [/quote]
4" throat into 1x1m mouth…hmmm, you hardly
will be able t...

Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

There are some questions that I am looking answers and I do
not have a firm position so far:
1)
How the quality of reverberation channels speakers
and their amplification impact sound or the depth of the psychoacoustic trickery.
2) ...

Spent great time and with happy with result. Not the results
are so spectacularly good but the playback is back to be operational that I was
missing for a while.
Starting with films. The damn OPPO has not enough output for
my Milq. I decided to...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...

[quote user="Paul
S"]Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet
materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea
of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the
sound, as does t...

user="martinshorn"] What Klaus also highlighted, is the importance to
him to unlimit dynamics - in order to achieve the most live-alike sound. First
of all, he noticed that Goto pleases him the most with uncompressed transient

Unicon, the RESONANCE that you deal while you tightening to loosening screws does not deals with TIME . Perhaps it is the semantics that you feel comfortable but still I would live mass resonance to mass domain and would not confuse it.

Considering the conclusions of my recent experiences that I described in the following thread:

I would like to share some of my observation that the people who would go multi-way horns might fi...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...

Yesterday a guy come me from Atlanta to “see” my new installation. I kind of explained that I am not in “demo mode” now but he still came to “see it”. I have no idea what he wanted to “see” and I was kind of obligated to play something to him. I...

…but there are a few considerations that I would like to stress.
1) The ULF pressurization must not impact auditable sound in any negative way. If it does then all bets are off and ULF better do not be used.
2) The ULF pressurization ...

Yes, Jessie, this is the direction that I am contemplating - to put up a vertical poll to support the attic main beam and to cut the 4-5 diagonal lowering beams that lead to my working triangular wall. Also the residue of the attic roof under th...

Yesterday I have a great listening time. I sent Amy with twins
to her parents. I put Thomas to sleep in his room and as he woke up I set him
to watch his Caillou for hours and I went to my listening room to have nice quality
time with my playback....

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

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 "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

[quote user="T3GGG"]Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h ho...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...
