[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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 s...

This week I will be trying to address why the Milq midbass is clipping. This is very interesting one. Currently the Melquiades LF channel uses an output transformer 700R to 5R or 11.83 to 1. I thought before that I have much lower ratio, like 5:1 bu...

Have you tried using the Edgar350/2441-combination between the upper bass- and midrange horns, like Romy’s fundamentals channel?
I use a very similar combination (140 Hz and 600 hz tractrix with Studio 8M and JBL 2420 drivers, respecti...

What's the response you have from your upper base horn? That would say a lot about how active that spot is for mid base. Is this location in your room is not good that it is very unfortunately but nothing can be done. Of course in your case, in c...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

This is the project that I been thinking to undertake for years. I have motioned about in multiple times that Vitavox’s S2 lower region is very lucrative but unfortunately not exactly useable if the driver run all the way up, unless you are wiling to...

Rich,
I think it’s too early to seriously to talk about sound of your driver. As I understand you have no horn for this thing. Your comment that the driver goes all the way unto 8kHz clearly indicates that you used wrong horn before. If you stick a...

[quote user="cv"]Romy, Can you expand a little more on what the issue with dipole bass is and what it does incorrectly? I'm still not sure I know exactly what you mean (and I've had a look at some of your other comments on the site).[/quote]Chris,

I was thinking and thinking last couple days what to do with
my lower midbass situation. I do need to use 2 drivers per channel with 100dB efficiency
to get the dBs I need to match Macondo and Milq’s bass channel gain. I do want to use Vitavox 15”...

Best amplifier is the one that you just built…Yes, it is a common unfortunate law of Audio but the people who know me personally know that try do not behave according to this behavioral pattern. So, this weekend I decided to do try the new Melquiades...

I put the Super Milq and the new one-stage Milq today and was playing them together in order to see which would be more interesting. It is imposable to “compare” as is the upper bass and lover mid channels as the Super Milq has all kind of line...

[quote user="drdna"] So, my thought was that below 35 hz, there are many ways of thinking about amplification. Some might say SS amplification is helpful due to power demands of horn loaded 18" woofers. To use 6C33 might be a trade off but I do not k...

One of the challenges I see for my midbass horns is to minimize hf output. The goal is to operate the horn in a bandwidth where it can cross to the higher horns, and have each horn function in their best sounding manner. My drivers are Altec 515-16...

A friend stopped by tonight when I was test-listening my midbass horn. He got freaked out from the size of the thing. I played for him some Gerhard Oppelt’s organ recordings. He told me that I am crazy, like I do not know it myself. Anyhow, he made a...

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
horn in a system is a year-long project otherwise you get an accidental result.

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

Anthony, yes, it is a perfectly legitimate question and I asked
myself this question many times. I do think that if you make horn from wood
then heat will damage them but if your upper bass horn is from concrete (like Jessy did) then it does open ...

This exactly what is the most fun in that system! Sometime people do not do the time alignment because it...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

[quote user="Paul S"] The best hi-fi LF I have heard came from modified "pro" units (multi-15s) that had a LOT of power thrown at them; and furthermore, the system was "managed" by an... equalizer (albeit, done in real time...). [/quote]

[quote user="Dresden"] I've concluded that building at least two--and perhaps three--different versions of a Mid/Upper bass horn design will be required to determine which of the three configurations perform best. [/quote]
Unfortunately it is not so...
