I have had the same experience. I have experimented extensively with tightening and loosening the screws that mount the speakers to the baffle. I have done this with the plain wood and also by placing a gasket in between and tightening it down, simil...

[quote user="Bill"]You had that glorious sound with the 40 year old caps in the B2's and the Tannoy crossovers. Do you really want to move away from what they produced in your system. A good way of testing new vs. old caps would be to replace the tan...

I very slowly started to convert another amp to DHT. For now I listen just left channel and in a striped down mode: no tweeter and no Injection, letting the MF to care the whole upper range. It is interesting to play different tubes in this mode. Fra...

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

Hi i am a new forum member and recently i built some speakers using Altec model 19 components 416-8b & 802 G. I built some 7.5 cu ft cabinets with two 4" diameter 5" deep ports this is the optimum cabinet size for the 416 i ditched the 811 horns ...

Romy,Point taken on the Ozone issue...do the catalytic converters in the units work effectively? I do not know. There are relatively inexpensive measuring devices for it.I agree completely that they sound different. You can see in my language that I ...

Do you even need a horn to run it at 5kHz? The acoustic transformation's probably done by the time the wave reaches the throat. Or is this more just to shape the rolloff below 5kHz? I once tried a hornless S2 as a tweeter; it was quite lovely but did...

I would like to post it into this thread, as somebody who cares about S2 should know what I ended up.
Anyhow, now it is officially: I permanently removed a tweeter from Macondo. The properly voiced S2 driver (with a transparent enough track- h...

Hi Josh! That was basically my idea too. Although I read that the 12 inch driver loses directivity after 750. But I played around with Behringer dcx 2496, and I had the impression, that 1200 second order was the best sounding. The main reason for cro...

[quote user="audiofilofine"]After several tests of listening and somehow I felt that the best solution is fully closed. The heat is part of the project and not to damage the diaphragm, also the hot air is compressed better than cold and thus distorts...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

Well it is quite amassing discovers not the fact itself, it is well known, but the amplitude with which the fact demonstrates itself.
I run the “Water Drop” at 12K second order but not against the tweeter transformer but against an 8R voltage divide...

OK, I’ve been for a while but I think I am ready to move forward. Sine the project with Water Drop Tweeter is over successfully and I know the final detentions of the tweeter and its radiation parent that will be used in Macondo I might finales every...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

I have had similar impressions to other speakers using these drivers. For example I found the top of the line Avalon Eidolon diamond to be similarly colorless and lifeless. Also a pair of Vaic speakers (designed by the guy from Lumenwhite...

Hello all (from Thailand)!I found this very intersting horn society here by accident and would like to show and share my first experience with horn speakers system.It's consist of 4 way system .[IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/krairerk/hi...

Scott, you see, this is the problem. You do not talk about the problems “as is”. All what I was asking was the acknowledgment/recognition/identification without context of loudspeakers. Your listening/assessment awareness is completely grounded to th...

Why not? Wilson for many years each 2-3 years updates own flagman. They had Grand Slamm’s number of revisions where they constantly change tweeters, other driver and resistors in crossovers, introducing new rounds of opportunities for the custome...

Now that the preliminary excitement of my ingenious idea wore off, I'm ready to share it and accept the harsh reality of any shortcomings... but seriously.

The 5E6P is the same as my 5E5P only with more or less military ambitions and with congenital “western” pins layout. It has more fragile specifications and more tight tolerance then 5E6P but it is the very same tube. There is very very very minor...

I recently made some highly attractive changes with the way in which I use S2. Now, since the S2’ top got cleaned up the universal misery of universe bothers me tremendously. :-)
Really, the S2 runs in my 400Hz horn up to 12.5kHz and the S2’s 12.5kH...

Yes, it is. If we loom how the S2 internal channel done then it would clearly indicate the it should not be a great tweeter but wha...

Another very interesting aspect of the Water Dropping of Macondo is a dramatization of silences and influence of LF decay. Macondo has no own noise and the Super Milqs are dead quiet. However, the perceptions of silence with the Water Drop tweeter an...
