The presence of this "bug" is clear. Apparently your Raal tweeter is somehow making your system more vulnerable to the issue than mine. I'll refrain from guessing exactly why, as I'm not familiar enough with the dispersion pattern of this tweeter...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...

[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Did you use LEAP or anything like that, or just cross everything over 1st order as a guess, and tune by ear? [/quote]
Oh, no. I do not use any LEAPs or others tools, no time domain analyses or anything like this – the...

KOTriode. One of the reasons why I advance the idea of using 6C33C for sub 100Hz bass is because it is very easy to say objectively if it is enough power. You see, when you use 845 for instance the tube might jumps in and out if A2. Since it is D...

Well, I am not a big fan of plasma tweeters.
First, of all they generate a health hazardous gas while they operate. All contemporary plasma drivers have catalytic converters that presumably convert this gas into something neutral. The process of con...

user="anthony"]Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an
entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them
before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the
crossover so that it matches the...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...

Hi Romy,You wrote:"They tunes for 115Hz and pushed in room down to ~95Hz one channel and 150Hz another."So do your horns have 115Hz flare frequency? (and have the rear chamber tuned for 115Hz as well)From the pictures the horns lo...

[quote user="Jorge"]About the looks, well I listen to music with my eyes closed, so I dont really care.[/quote] Well, it is not how I see it. The topology of acoustic systems like Macondo implies the stand-alone tweeters. So, why do not make it attra...

I am putting temporarily the project with tweeter amplifier on hold. The problem is that I can’t get what I need form my tweeter.

BTW, I would like to mention one more opportunity for the folks who are playing with S2 driver.
There is another interesting tweeter option: use the HF section of the Tannoy’s dual concentric drivers (only form 50s-60s). The design of those drivers ...

Yes, when I move the drivers or for that matter if I move my listening position, I realign.What I hear and measure about the drivers relative distances to each other is this. When I first set up the drivers, one horn ended and the next one started, t...

Thanks, el`Ol
What I wonderful devise to position a tweeter on it! It has even perfect size for my Water Drop! It will not help in my case as my tweeter is firmly makes and my MF channel is flimsy but for somebody why would need a perfect tweeter al...

Hi Romy:as I don't consider the thread as emptied, yet, I'd wish to add some thoughts after more days of listening to my system.I re-read an half-page chapter in French from Jean Hiraga's "Les Hautparleur" essay, concerning time-alignement and p...

Well, it looks like my lack of familiarity with ribbons/planar/isodynamic tweeters made an evil joke with me as the more SA8535 tweeter getting broken in the better it sounds. As now, after near 80 hours it practically free from any negative things t...

Well, it looks I’m near finding a more or less acceptable setting for the T350 tweeter. Ironically and completely accidentally it is not far form I use to be. It is still on the slope at 20Hz (since the T350 is pretty dead at 16kHz) but now it is &nb...

I tend to think that we are not copying Romy, but more that he has generated a school of thought on audio and yes horns speakers also.I too have a system following some of the Macondo Axioms, but have used all diferent drivers.As with other drivers, ...

Haralanov, I guess you mean to say disconnect the tweeter on one side of your playback? not the whole left side of the playback...When you use compression drivers it is very important to design the horn taking care of the high frequency response. ...

[quote user="drdna"]The idea of 360 degree radiation of sound has great intuitive appeal to me since I feel the best recordings are done with two omnidirectional microphones. The most precise reproduction of the musical event would seem to be: ...

[quote user="Merlin"] I took the 98db/w from the tweeter which will not be higher sensitivity in that implementation. If the other units are higher than that, then yes it is a moronic system![/quote]

This project sounds like Rubriks cube. You have all of the ingredients and 43,252,003,274,489,855,999 chances to get it "wrong". None of those parts guarantees anything special and they all offer plenty of miserable possibilities......I personally ca...

Charlus,As you expressed here this would be an End of life speaker project, and I am sure you will not fancy any other speaker once you start with this, even Vox Olympian etc. Yes it will take a lot of money and a lot of time, but you will have fun...
