Roman:
since I came to GSC, I became more and more careful (at least trying) in proper choosing words, due to the need of expressing myself in a language which isn't my own, some finesse and subtleties get lost, so further explanation or underl...

Well, yes... I've not been to prison in over two years! Apart from keeping me off the streets at night, the results when listening to one of the 40Hz horns were, dare I say, encouraging, though I do hesitate to say so, as the "evaluation" was carried...

Great analyses, David, thanks. I can’t concur as now with anything. Macondo in the room with midbass horn was a complex installation and with ULF it became even more complex. Some of the things I setup by ear and do not use measurements, I just know ...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable free air resonance... such a toy would be wonderful with custom midbass and bass horns... [/quote]
It is why I use cone drivers f...

http://hifiknights.com/reviews/speakers/rdacoustic-evolution/I think that David should search here about full range speakers. As he obviously can't hear the difference, maybe reading about it will help improve his designs.David, just for your informa...

tarted to mount the open baffle for ULF channels at my
attic. The system is fully operational,
not time aligned yet to the degree that I would like it to be but I'm going to
tell you: that Tannoy Red 10 is something that makes everything so sweet...

Number one, that I'd like to run by you guys due to it's simpler nature and closer to reality execution is the idea I have been thinking about. No first hand experience with any of this.Say we use something like altec 1505b multicellular horn that sh...

Now I have been listening the different crossovers trying to shape the new Macondo general balance. This is so fascinating ceremony that I do have a lot of fan. The things doing alone very well. I boosted upper bass and it worked now very-very well....

This is my first horn build effort. Been thinking about this since starting to build loudspeakers and finally have a listening space big enough to support a horn system. This is where I am at now, I know there are opportunities for improvement. And I...

They paid attention to time-alignment, good - but the tweeters location near a large reflective surface might be problematic.It looks like a 1kHz tractrix horn to me (maybe 800Hz). I have one though it's from Stereo Lab....
|
|
Actually it is very possible that it might be so. I made some rudimental measurements and concluded that RAAL tweeter and JBL midrange mounted in the same baffle has non-perfect time aliment. So, I will need to use gaskets under the drivers to time-a...
|
|
But aren't the vented ports out of phase with the horns? Or is there some way to mechanically cross them over with time alignment? Or maybe it just doesn't matter at those frequencies.jh...
|

My comments are rather discouraging arn't they! Not my intention but hopefully helpful in the long run. Regarding time alignment i just wanted to raise the point i think it might be more relevant than initially anticipated by someone considering buil...

This was taken from a crazy article by a mad brazilian, an original Hi Fi News (March'80) drawing of Britain's largest cinema horn (~5,20m2 mouth).Could such a design solve your time-alignment problem?Cheers,Ric...

Romy, make you own very simple experiment and then make your own mind.
Take two horn channels, low-pass and high-pas them at 6K for instance
and drive them with 6K sinewave. When you time alight the driver you

I've had a long-time desire to replace my Edgar 80hz midbass shells with a better performing solution. My Edgarhorns arrived in 2005, and I made incremental improvements over the years until now they have little in common with the original Edgarhorn...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

Lately I have been thinking a lot, trying figure out what I
am and where I would like to go with Macondo. The Macondo base, the horns isle
is still there and I have no motivation to change anything. The conceptualizing
