Paul, what are you talking about? I use from my 6C33C no more then 1-2W. The 6C33C at LF might give 20 W but it is load over to 600R. I load it to near 2500R (11.83:1 transformer with 15R driver) – you figure out your how much power and gain I b...

Klaus, I like your view on the applied horn math. There are a lot of people who use a lot of not-useful math for horns – I never understood it and never considered it necessary. Your circulation of Throat’s space vs. mouth space does make sense. In f...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installa...

Speaking about the interesting surface finish. I have seen a
new stimulating idea that I call the Scratched Horn. I do not know how much
practical effect if has but it shall not be bad. Let pretend that it is not a conical
horn with even sides but...

Eric, if you are
considering building a speaker of Macondo topology then you might reexamine “using
horns like these”. The subject of La-horns vs Tratrix in Macondo topology is well
discussed at this site, you might give to it some consi...

[quote user="serenechaos"] "I think the ultimate length of the upperbass horn is 3”- 4” throat. With longer horn it would be very complicated to time-align it as the horn will mask out the MF driver."
Is this also why you use tractrix curve f...

[quote user="serenechaos"] By “midbass horn” I’m talking about a horn with about a flare frequency of about 60 Hz, to use with Fane 8” drivers, to start with.

[quote user="Merlin"] ... 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? [/quote]

As I wrote before I picked some Vitavox S3 driver.

and I was expediting with them recently to use in Fundamental Chanel. My idea was that S3 might care LF knee better then S2. In past I had S3 ...

Yes, it is certain in what I proposed there is majored disadvantage of having a suspended floor. A suspended is like a bad turntable – no matter what you do you would never be able to get proper lower octave. The idea to have horn firing from ro...

Luc,
I am not ‘lucfm’ and I hope he will reply to you but I would like to pass some of my observation that you might find useful.
In my past when I discovered Fane Studio 8M I went over a number of 5-8 inches. At that time I used AG’s Trio upperb...

First number is the distance between speakers, second is listening distance and
the third is the distance from the shudder where the horn axis are pointing out. This is not a good

user="anthony"]Those components certainly have an awful lot of
potential and are likely a very good starting point for your highly dynamic

Macondo so there seems to be mor...

I think to a great degree making playback is like go hunting. I am not a big hunting proponent and never did it but I just bring it for the sake of association. So, you might go hunt because you love bear’s stakes, need fox skin or appreci...

I is interesting that most of the “expensive” TTs, with a difference

As I said above your you "experienced today with GOTO" is just your transitional
feeling and you will change this feeling many times. To accommodate a pair of 42Hz
