15/40 drivers is seals 2 cu foot enclosures. No filtration of any kind on
speaker level and Vitavoxes juts are driver from Milq LF channel t...

Haralanov,I spoke with a guy who consulted me during my Electo-Vitavox project. He helped me with selection of core material, deliberated the core and calculated the right coil to keep the core mass optimally magnetized....

I am out the door, just wanted to mention, it is my understanding that only one of these was meant for a horn; the other is a direct driver, like the original 515.I assume the celebrated "slotted" Vitavox horn is not the same as the one and only Vita...

Warning. Do not try to purchase these Vitavox horns from the following site. https://www.shoppok.com/atlanta/a,49,418526,Vitavox-Cn-191-Corner-Horn-Speakers.htmPurchased them supposedly through reputable escrow company in England. Since they received...

Thinking about my Vitavox S2 “fundamentals channel” I can’t stop think about my hypostatic view about the horns. Year after year I was mucking what GOTO does when they introduces a horn for a couple octaves. Ironical now I am truing to do the same fo...

I think I like what it adds to 8-14k range also, so If I use higher order may be I'll miss it...but I'll try if you suggest.I would like to ask a question regarding 400-1200 range (fundamental channel). You are using Vitavox S2 for this range. Is it ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] First question:
With the 1.5 gallon rear chamber, the resonance is 700Hz With the basket sealed by tape (very small rear chamber), the resonance is 49Hz Assuming there was not a typographical error, from this we...

[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...

I would like to expose what my intentions are what I was tiling above about Goto 555 or a similar 200Hz driver. My S2 does not stress the bottom of my 183Hz horn. My multi-cell is expositional and those types of horns do pick honk very aggressively ...

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...

I very much do not mind to try the biggest Khorn bass
section with my setup. I am trying to figure out how to do it with buying the damn
thing…
I need to say that the best midbass I hear in my life was
from Khorn, well not from Khorn itsel...

[quote user="coops"]Romy I read your post listing some aspects of the Vitavox drivers Mike might take a look at and I know you give acoustic reproduction a lot of thought, have you envisaged the 'perfect ' driver, has the Vitavox enough 'accidentally...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Manville, just for sake of an experiment, I’ve sent one of my “worst” performing S2 drivers to remagnetize it. I do not know if it affect the ‘beneficial resonance” and if it does I will report the results of its performanc...

I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

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”...

Another decision that I need to make about the new Super Milq. I have MF and Fundamental Channels around the Vitavox S2 drivers that will be driven directly from the single-stage amplifiers, with the crossovers and attenuators sitting at amplifier li...

Yago,
I appreciate your suggestions about what I shell do instead of what I am doing (!). If you feel that you are the only one person in the world who is familiar with the Ravens then you are mistaken. However, I would like to remind yo...

I had a good listening session this Sunday. The Tchaikovsky
5 and Mahler 3rd. I shut down my ULF and was listening just with the
rest of the system. I was thinking what the hell I can do with lower knee of my
midbass. I absolutely adore what Vitav...

Last week I took the Vitavox drivers from the Midbass
horns. This week most likely I will take
the compression chambers from the installed horns. If I even redo the midbass
horns then to have the custom-fit compression chambers will be 30% of the...

Well I was thinking how I can verify that my midbass drivers had sunk magnets. I can take one of the drivers off; take them apart and compare them with another of my Vitavox 15 inchers. I can measure the magnetic force in the gap and it will be objec...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I have not yet measured either case. As previously mentioned, at mid-project I had to put the mid-bass horns on standby (I will get back to them, but must first attend to an ongoing emergency).I can measure the free air re...

ah forgot. Have some measures to give you an idea. First, this is an (what i use as good budget replacement for the TAD2002 tweeter) a JBL LE85/ 2420 in that trumpet. Green is a „normal“ horn response for comparison. Red is the JBL 2312 trumpet: [url...
