There is a picture of a bbq thingy -- at first sight I was confused thinking it was downward & upward facing horns...:)[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

I admit I haven't statistically substantiated this to any great extent with commercial speakers (only with a pair of non-ribbon Genesis).[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

Since you are now an "insider" and saw these speakers in vivo. What is the mid-bass horn (as Romy notes) & that small upper mid. Anything else?You know it's unlikely that many (any?) of us will make to Munich Hi-End......

[quote user="Dominic"]Here's a threeway with the BMS coax like in your orpheans nested in what i think is a 80hz horn which is driven by 2x15"sI'm not sure how well the time alignment works. I think the woofers are a bit too far back.in any case: [/q...

Coincidentally, yesterday (14th Feb in this part of the world) -- a timely coincidence as I only read the posts today.A friend constructed a temporary 150Hz tractrix out of hard paper -- a 12hedron. This is not about the sound etc, the horn served fo...

There is a live recording (in stereo) of Beet 5th piano with Gieseking/Rother/Greater Orch of the 3rd Reich. The concert took place in 1944 and, allegedly, Hitler was present. The conductor is reported as Rother -- but there's a rumour (urban le...

They are based in Hong Kong. Don't know about used, though. They support a sort of blog/discussion board at AA.Sorry to read about your predicament... Oh well....

If I may add, from experience, following and including Romy's post above:1) In cases of established incompatibility with a average power SET, more output energy (55W), will not completely clear the above 2) and esp. make 3) less "muddy" or ...

The hypex are ready-made on boards that take no playing around without major complications. Sorry & thanks.(Btw, "tuning" is doable with ss -- but there's pain involved; by comparison, the versatility of tube is much higher)...

What I'm speculating is that you might opt for cheap -- non SET -- amplification for now, and get acquainted with the application of tuning channels... experimenting how this can operate within your environment. I.e. put emphasis on the concept and u...

No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, drive a loud...

Only that a higher price may allow the constructor to get away fm the annoyingly ubiquitous "made to meet a price point" and push his design to his limits...Romy notes:[quote]I approach to the subject from a perspective of the OPPORTUNITIES THAT ML3 ...

Romy says:[quote]The problem is that in context of those amplifiers the COST BECOMES THE MAJOR DESIGN IMPEDIMENT[/quote]Yes, but it shouldn't -- should it?Let's be reasonable (a tall order). Either a designer knows how to design or not. If he doesn;t...

The visual analogy is very appealing I must say. Looking at audio from the point of view of music, as you treat the subject, I could comment on the following:"It is not necessary or even desirable that a system reproduce all the information of the li...

You know, extending the front baffle without making it take up too much space? Many people use the ubiquitous single driver on a narrow front baffle augmented by back-folded wings on piano hinges...I like those three mids; what are they doing -- canc...

... and incomprehensible. Also, there seemed to be a lot of theory about amplifiers.I listened to the upper/main part of this speaker. There is a woofer of sorts also --but it strangely wasn't connected.The thing looks quite industrial & if ...

As long as the motto "sell to survive" stands, performance parametres will kneel. If you want to sell -- and now we have a fantasmagoric global marketing opportunity, you start by being known.A magazine review is one way of doing that. A silly one is...

As compared to the Melq, which is an amplifier. OK, it performs its job within a system... but, then, aren't other amplifiers "systemic" as well? I wonder whether other open designs are actually taken up by hobbyists... you do mention that ...

...However, "a 2000 RPM meat slicer chopping the music up into little pieces" is, admittedly, more eloquent!Some time ago, I played around with a Kharma model (the big one that has woofers and the 3-in-one tweet**) at a friend's house. The furni...

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...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...
