Hmmm, are you sure that you do not do a mistake?
Jessie, I do not know how to say it but looking at your last picture something does not work for me. The hone that you made are elegant and graceful but painted in glossy black with that very rough st...

If I succeed to make my midbass horn at attic then I will face another problem that I do not know how to address at this point. The horns will be powered from Melquiades bass channels – it means it will use a good 70 feet speaker cable. If I go with ...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

Hello,Can you give me some ideas for a good room? Also, audio related ideas are always welcome too.The initial plan is a room with 5m H x 10m W x 14m D (about 16,5ft H x 33ft W x 46ft D). Solid floor, probably porcelain tile (chess floor style), and ...

Oh, God, what the measurement microphone does at the mouth
of the horn? Is it where you measure your responses? I hope not. Also, even over the bad sound of YouTube
video it is very clear at the example you provided us that there is very shallow

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

Get your Upper bass horn sounding properly first, this should be a lot of fun,
Play it by itself untill you get the perfect sound out of it
adjusting the back chamber volumen changes the sound a lot.
Why use a different driver form 2400hz? Do...

Here is an interesting setup. It is nowhere in Moscow Russia. I did not hear it but it does not mean that we can’t analyze what the authored was trying to accomplish.
It is 3-way installation. Bass looks like dual G...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

There are some things that I truly cannot explain in Macondo
topology. I am kind of the author of the Macondo topology. Did not “invent it”
of cause, rather just formulated and I should know everything about the Macondo
application? Ended I know a...

Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude. My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no ...

The first and the bigger thing that I like about them is that Anima is trying to use the vertical-horizontal configuration where the bell of the vertical horn serves as frame for horizontal channels. I love this idea and had a number of my own th...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

Relative to the reference level of my MF channels. Look at the Chenal “B” of the the amp's schematics:

Though I have difficulties warming to the idea of the "headphone" arrangement for these horns, I do understand that we are talking about loading the room. Similar thinking lead me to consider setting large horns behind the listener in my own longish ...

Here is a homage to the Macondo, or at least two channels of it - 400Hz tractrix with S2 and a 140Hz tractrix with Fane 8M. A T350 for HF and an as yet undefined LF solution is to be added. The horns are from Stereo Lab, with the la...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 4" throat into 1x1m mouth…hmmm, you hardly
will be able to get from it 50Hz. Even if you go for ¼ size and 2 drivers then I think it is a bit too
small. Also, looking at the picture it looks like your horn open up too s...

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 changed the new flash at my site to “Ok, the midbass horn project is successfully over. Over 3 months, over 400 posts, over 180 pictures… all publicly available…” The project started physically on July 16, 2010, ended on October 28, 2010. The prepa...
