Do you have a website or blog where you write about your project? And the way it has been evolving?In the sense that videos and sound clips with no explanations are pretty much masturbatory, i think i see why the cat thinks you're an idiot with no di...

I suspect you were both right.We each have our own priorities, but I did find a couple of his youtube videos to be interesting, as far as one can tell anything useful from compressed video.Not the point though really.I'm more interested in this idea ...

The 4th movement of Beethoven's was playing on the radio the other day and my ears perked up. I almost didn't recognize it at all. I was quite surprised to find out that it was performed by my humble local Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal and the ch...

be careful here as mouth size is defined not by what you input, so much as the acoustic space and performance you want. The throat size can be fiddled with if you're careful but there's not much one can do to shrink the mouth. On a 'bass' horn you ca...

but i think, ending up that far down the drain, he may well have been doing exactly that. Or at least inhaling a bit too much in the company of smokers.
I've been researching getting a new table, and a micro seems a nice balance of toplogy and exe...

And it makes me so sad too.
I'm just glad I'm not the only person to have noticed that no matter where you start, some laziness, if i can put it that way, takes hold and the lofty goals fur further products start to, not just be less feasible, but w...

to be clear:
i do have some expectation that 'my final solution' will consist of dedicated amplification per driver in a substantially horn loaded arrangement. I have some expectation that amplification will be single ended and quite likely have a b...

ya i got your drift. if i can trust my initial reaction(in terms of how to articulate my idea) then my objective is a sound/performance i have in my head. I don't really expect completion but i do expect the periods of "good enough" to get longer as ...

i had browser issues again so some of the eloquence of my intended post will likely be lost.
anyhoo.
Maybe it's just me, but i'm almost never content with replacing what i've got with something equivalent. This would be as regards Greg's last p...

....emails we can get back to the subject. I was really shocked at how annoying some of the setups were. The biggest culprits were the guys pedling <3" drivers with what must be in the region of 500w behind. Which can make a bit of sense in a real...

Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

The rule of thumb is that you can't localise sounds below 80hz. The classic experiment is to use a sub with an adjustable xo point and adjust it untill you can't tell where it's comming from. That doesn't change the fact that seperating the bass into...

I've been attentive to all that ive found out about Furtwangler lately
and the strength of his readings seems to be borne across by how fast
things go. So the question was raised, reading the notes you
transcribed above, whether the validity of a ...

That is one good looking ribbon driver.It almost looks like an ideal solution. Sure looks smarter than other ribbons....

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:[url]http://www.codaaudio....

it doesn't appear to me that Lowther's own designs hold any real potential.As some might figure, i'm partial to Voigt's original intentions, and i think those have been covered over.I post now because i had an idea.I see the lowther as a pseudo compr...

There are a couple ways to look at it.The project could be taken from the same sort of perspective as Great Plains, id est, simply new manufacture as a replacement for a 'historic' piece of a equipment. If it can sound close enough to the original th...

but can you dirrectly link me to somone who:[quote user="Paul S"]claims that ANY 4" driver makes a stand-alone "Full-Range" speaker able to "present the orchestra in all it's living glory"[/quote]you must be using some ...

[quote user="Paul S"]"Vitriolic" is certainly the wrong word to apply to my "attitude"/post(s), Dominic. "Amused" is more like it. I am amused by claims that ANY 4" driver makes a stand-alone "Full-Range" speaker able&...

I just had a flash. whay if the way the EM energizes the gap forces the VC to sit further in or further out of the gap as its default setting, and perhaps this does slightly change the acoustic geometry. I can't think of a proper reason why this migh...

I'm looking forward to finding some quality recordings played by this guy. But in the meantime it's only fair to warn that the files on the Honens site aren't very well encoded, lots of artifacts and a couple level matching issues. The actual recordi...

Rullit Audio one of those funny c-37 type chaps but he is excellent with his hands it seems.He's done horns in both lathed and bent wood formats.He has a store on ebay and a gallery at Webshots. [url]http://stores.ebay.com/Rullit-Audio-Ultra-Fi-...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]No, you did not do before and you are not doing it still. I think the problem with that you are expressing is that you have no desire to EXPLAIN FOR YOURSELF what you do. Forgot about the amplifiers, speakers and the ...

I was listening to some of this past year's Honens piano 'competition' and was exposed to a german named Hinrich Alpers.If he wants to play whatever it is he's playing you can really tell and the emotional contrasts through colours on the piano are i...

I'd put your sub horns above your head. There are some big issues with that but you save a lot on concrete engineering, and assuming space remains in future you could apply what you learned from the overhead wood horns to a more refined bass setup. O...

The thing is i need something to use now that what i have isn't functioning. I'm not really asking at the best time, as i hadn't been thinking about the right questions for a while, and this is sort of an act of desperation to get my playback just ba...

The speakers i've got are JBL studio monitors using a 2420 (118dbwm 16O) on top and a 2231 (93dbwm, 8O) on the bottom, which already accomodate bi amping, though like i mentioned a midrange driver would probably be a good idea and so a six way amp wo...
