Wow, it took 3 hours to take it apart. As I always told those vintage driver made horrible. The do sound Ok but precession-wise and technology wise they were very pure. They really were the low teach devised made for popping up the sound pressure but...

In reply to those who asked me to post the detail pictures of the Vitavox S2’s phase plug.

AlloI had a theory that the bug screen was helping to damp horn modes/refelctions caused by a mismatch between the S2 internal flare and the horn flare rate. I have 340Hz flare JMLC horns, which may be expected to give less of a mismatch than the sma...

|
[quote user="i_should_coco"]I guess these would work nicely from 300Hz to ??? Can the S2 really go that low? I've heard differeing opinions....[/quote]
Pete,
How low the S2 really go? It is a little bit complicated. First of all there is an objecti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] For above 550hz you might use the same LL1627A if you wish, for MF the 200-250mA gap will be fine. Yes it would be reasonable to desire less inductance in the transformer, mean less turns but honestly I personally did not ...

BTW, it would be nice if Mike, being the today Vitavox inherent, would also tell some history of Vitavox, not that it is important but it would be educational. Pretty much all that I know about them is form the British guy who collects the PA history...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In the few converstaions I've had with him, Mike seems totally sincere and, as I've mentioned before, I very much hope he will one day come through.[/quote]Oh, sure, Mike is perfectly sincere and this is BTW might be ...

[quote user="oxric"]Mike duly explained to me that he would not vouch for the work of anyone not qualified and experienced with Vitavox drivers, given both the complexity of the work and the number of parts that go into making these drivers. I as...

I would like the people who read this site and those others whohave genuine interest in Vitavox understand that that subject of old Vitavox production is a bit tricky and I would not be surprised if the truth never be known. There is not such a thing...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I might be totally wrong, but I just assumed that Vitavox's decision to specify a lower impedence voice coil for horn-loaded applications was related the additional load placed on the driver once mated to a horn, resu...

At some point last year, after I had been offered an opportunity to buy some Vitavox S2 drivers from someone in Paris, and some S3s from Germany, I decided to approach Mike Harvey of Octave Audio, AKA Vitavox Hifi, to get some information about how I...

jd, I cannot see any of PDF files, probably my current networks kills them.
I do not know the AK150 drivers. I know AK157, AK151 and K15/40. If they have significantly lower free-air resonance, at 30-35Hz then I am not sure that they would be ...
|
|
Romy,When you say that the Vitavox 15" was the best midbass you heard, was it in a Vitavox corner horn? I'm think about acquiring or building a pair of Vitavox corner horns as I have a perfect room for them. ...

I keep receiving those emails when people complain about the ballooned publicity and stuffed reputation of Vitavox S2 compression driver. I completely agree: the Vitavox S2, in the way how the Vitavox originally used it in their speakers and in...

Ah, such a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful discovery!
After all, after the years of dealing and fighting with it I come up with the observation that the Vitavox S2 driver could and actually should be used “as is”. The harshness that I was re...

I spans last night some time measuring all my Vitavox 15-incers drivers, inspecting them, matching them and trying to find perfect pair. I would probably get involve in Ménage à trios and will sleep with them if I were able to arrange it. Since the ...

Thanks guys, I have contacted Peter and the JBLGuy, let see what it would fish. I would need to find the Vitavox Mike from UK, but all his formal contact do not works - it looks he closed down his old shop. If somebody knows his new email/phone t...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Not this year they won't be, that show is in September.Romy, Kevin at Living Voice has been using 'your' S2 since 1992. I understand these speakers have the first of the new Mike Harvey S2's fitted.I'm not sure what the th...

Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox site went live at 9 a.m. this morning. It has very interesting implications for the compression drivers landscape in that it suddenly makes buying a hi...

Ok, I removed the series cap from the amp output and made it as it should be – pure parallel. To my great satisfaction the little “dirty inflictions” that I got in Vitavox are gone and now the S2 as clean as it should be. I presume in the former sett...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]For your rear chambers, as they will be adjustable, it would be smart to go with a max volume that is larger than the max you estimate to be necessary. [/quote] The size of rear chamber is something that dials in the compo...

A few years ago playing with my favorite Vitavox S2 driver I was asking myself how it might sound if instead of the Alnico magnet the electromagnets would be used. As many other driver of the period the Vitavox did not utilized the only one magnet ty...

Well, the Vitavox is also a "paper driver" that has needs like the Tannoy (unless it is the "horn version"...), meaning the size and nature of the enclosure will affect the Vitavox sound, as well. I always thought the Altec 515 Bs were OK up to 500 H...

THIS IDIOT DOES NOT produce any horns at all! ... (you will be ripped off just like I was (US$400+) ).I feel this guy needs to be exposed for the fraudster he is, M...

I think guessing what the hell they did with tweeters would make since if whatever they did sound right. Since Living Voice’s is not the company that has a lot of exposure in US I do not think I will ever hear those speakers. Even if they have US rep...

Hi Romy. That's an interesting "retirement "plan" you describe, perhaps you are right but you never
know!? Criminals/crime rings sometimes acquire a huge fortune in exactly that
way, a little ($400) at a time.I know $500 (shipping) is not a HUGE ...
