[quote user="steverino"]I agree that the published curves don't look bizarre for a box speaker. [/quote] Hmmm, I would like to note that my reference to "given topology" did not imply the "box speaker". Even a multichannel box speaker might have opt...

Now I have been listening the different crossovers trying to shape the new Macondo general balance. This is so fascinating ceremony that I do have a lot of fan. The things doing alone very well. I boosted upper bass and it worked now very-very well....

Scott,
I do not particularly like many of the ideas that you presented in here and, in my view, some of your movements you are planning are faulty. Your dissatisfaction of the Edgarhorns upper-bass is too wide-ranging and not well-interpreted ...

Hello Romy,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner… Moving to the new place has turned out to be a huge task, but worth it, as this new home actually has a place to work, not to mention a much better selection of recorded music at the local...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

Within my site I many times stressed the importance of upper bass region for sound reproduction. I always said that with the improperly sounding 200Hz -400Hz any further "fidelity" of Sound becomes imposable. Ironically the 200Hz-400Hz is the most co...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] Jorge, You're quite welcome to visit any time you are in the SF Bay Area. .... The little aluminum box on the upper shelf with the blue LED is a NuFrorce mono amp, one of two. The DEQX HDP3, one of two, is the black bo...

[quote user="Thorsten"] So, at least in commonly observable and observed terms and when used as intended the S&B line transformers are notably more capable at low frequencies than your LF OPT's in the Super Milq.[/quote]
I have no doubt but ther...

I heard back from Lamms about the relay pulses. They suggested I bias the amps again and then Lamms went silent when that didn't work. But the problem disappeared when I got around to replacing the 12AX7s that came with the amps.&nbs...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 22...

I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA horns or horrible acou...

IME (i.e. some pm's one dx), the Ex-4 sounds the most civilised -- and this, only up to ~10kHz or 1-2kHz lower.It doesn't sound bad in a tractrix, unlike Paul S' experience with a dx4.A horn is also useful to provide some extra spl (106 spl at 1+m wi...
|
Zanon, I do not mean DEQ, but that is one way to do it. D[SET] is another way; and it can be done in real time, by a couple of means.If you actually settle on the mid-field monitor approach, you will want that sort of speakers installed before you g...
|
It seems like I should just abandon the idea of using the Druids... and trying to get some sort of coherent integration with my WB-Chimeras (acting as the lower- and upper-bass units)... and running the whole hodgepodge with totally different amplifi...
|
Robert, Agreed... many people rave about the FE126E in just about anything... yet, I find them irritating (upper midrange shout) before 1-watt sets in. The F120A (in a simple ported enclosure) is a completely different sounding driver. Sti...

This weekend wife told me that I should not do nothing else
but to fix my playback and this was exactly what I wanted to do. Yesterday I took
good 14 hours to play with it, moving boxes, trying to find a good
configuration, making measurements, th...
|
It is hard to get used to the idea of 1 or 3 LF channels supporting a "stereo" hi-fi. But the way it winds up working is that the "wrong number" of channels, or sources in the "wrong spots" can make things sound worse, because of cancellation an...
|
Romy,I say "Go for it"! With your usual documentation, we can only profit from you getting the hernia first. I got mine operated on last week, so looking is all that I can do for the next 3 months.One thing that has always roused my curiosity: your ...

Hello RomyI like Shelters as well, so I finally scrubbed-up enough money and began to search. I was always happy with 901, but there were none around. Last night I got a 90X, with (supposedly) around 100 hrs on it, within driving distance. So today I...

[quote user="skushino"] • total horn length (incl. back chamber) shall not exceed 1,00m • the horn shall have conical approximation of a hyperbolic flare contur with m=0.6 • the horn shall have a 5/16 mouth size of a free space horn •&...

I mean,
does anyone really expect to straight away come up with a "horn
profile" via math (or voodoo) and then just turn or cast it, bolt on
the driver and, voila?If we talking about upper-bass horn I think yes, via match.I reade...
|
Somehow I massacered the formatting of the last reply. The past days I was listening to the speakers in every imaginable configuration. Sometimes I based my changes on "accepted theory" of crossovers and math, other times I just made...
|
Well they are not my sound either...I've gone tractrix on upper mid and mid horns and exponential on mid bass. Still have the tapped horns.The now black horns are someone else's and are intended to be used in light / small scale PA. That's the idea a...

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

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]7) Location of power amps : Yes, the power amps sit within the frame, on their own sliding support between the Upper-Bass and Upper-Mid horns. For the moment I am using a pair of ML2s from 60Hz and above. (below 60Hz I use...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

I still remember proposed solution for symetrical TAD 1201 horn loaded midbass sections. Was it to free listener from sweet spot low seat position ? I could imagine that that midbass horn performing up to 1000Hz sitting low on the floor would impair&...
