At last weekend's HiFi Wigwam Scalford show several members brought together various elements to make this 5 way speaker system.[IMG]http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh107/pure_sound/communalsystem.jpg[/IMG]Picture courtesy of Alfie29021. Raal Amor...

I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/P1010101.jpg[/IMG]A Micro f...

I did wonder about what recordings would have been used through these speakers back in the late 20's. The electronic recording of music only began in around 1926, prior to that the recordings were entirely acoustic. (although some of those acoustic r...

I don't think Silbatone has any obligation to 'progress' a concept in the same way that an art gallery or museum has no obligation to modify or improve on its exhibits. They are just showing what is or rather what was.For what it's worth, I do think ...
|
|
I heard far worse bass performance in a good number of other rooms at the show. If the intention was to give people an experience of how large scale music/sound reproduction was or could have been 70 or 80 years ago, then the arrangement they chose w...
|
|
Besides the single driver Aporia (which I haven't heard) I don't think Silbatone has made any speakers. So they don't 'employ' GIP drivers. I think GIP is a separate Japanese company who have just been invited to participate at these German show...
|
|
As I understand it the Silbatone amplifiers are, in part, the work of JC Morrison. Although very nicely made, its hard to judge if they have any serious intention of selling them. I don't think there is any commercial imperative to do that just as th...

Where does that leave the potential of magnetic tape for delivering good sound? There is physical contact but it is fairly constant in nature....
|
|
If you are going to do something like this then it would make sense to have it firing backwards & make use of the corner of the room in the way Carfrae did some 15 years ago.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/big-horn.jpg[/...

There's only one thing worse than trying to assess the merits of something from what it does at a HiFi show and thst's assessing it based on a recording at a HiFi Show made using a telephone. :)...
|
|
Look at the scale & range of what you are trying to reproduce. It's also very difficult to record it....
|

Would you have to play it back on a super electricity day to hear the difference?...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] What however I fell is shameful in the images above, besides bad taste, is that fact that a president of a country and prime-minister of a county did not find own country audio to make the pictures. Presidents do not plug ...

Good to see that one of them has enough of an interest in music to gather these items together.http://iceaxe.livejournal.com/738534.htmlBut which one? Whose system is it?...
|
|
Is there no way to smooth out the visible steps in the latter part of the horn's expansion or would you prefer not to?...
|
|
Can you remind us how & why you arrived at the resonance frequency you have set for these drivers in this particular horn?...
|
|
Romy, besides via the radio, did you ever have the opportunity to hear either the 948 or 950 in a domestic installation?...
|
|
Here are a few answers1. a, 84 Hz b, 4.8 inches square c, Hyperbolic exponential, T 0.8 1/2 Pi d, none so far on upper bass horn. S2 and 2405 have series capacitors feeding them. e, Eminence Kappa 12. 4. Both tweeter and S2 ca...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

It would be interesting to hear this recorded at a more sensible level. Enjoyable music & playing (I think)[IMG]http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh107/pure_sound/Solerscreengrab.jpg[/IMG]It has the quality of a ballet dancer wearing hobnail boo...

I meant the upper end of the LF horn response. Firing it downwards at the floor as they do and then expecting good performance at 200-300Hz in the listening position is a tall order. There may also be some confusion where the mid horn takes over.I'v...
|
|
It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. Although the mid horn probably has an Fc of 200Hz the associated driver isn't going to be functioning optimally at the crossover point either. How well this marr...

Not really interested in Koetsu cartridges, have yet to hear a good one.I am interested in this name though. Shouldn't it be Azure and somewhere the R has been substituted for an L? It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. Permendule is so...

Any manufacturer can submit a photo and marketing information to 6 Moons. There is no charge. If it's a nice photo, they'll usually put it on the news page. It doesn't imply that the manufacturer has necessarily invited the editor to visit and has en...

I will ask. As anyone could by sending an him an email or calling him. Ultimately though it'll be because that's what he felt worked best....
|
|
As far as I know much of this development was done using the original S2's. With the mid horn he's using, perhaps both the old & new ones need some augmentation that they wouldn't need via a shorter tractrix. However, I don't think Kevin is convi...
|
|
No, I'm afraid not. I think the upperbass is perhaps some new production (Mike Harvey) 15" Vitavox Alnico item and I think there is a TAD unit behind the brass trumpet but I don't know which one. You'd need to ask. I think there are various options...
|
|
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 thinking is behind the con...
