I've managed to make my own room treatments thus far, all bass oriented and although some broadband absorption has been used the bulk is effective 30hz - 500hz. It is an architectural type of solution where I have a covered the front and side walls...

Hello every body, I live in France and I'm new on this forum.I'm thinking to build (some months) a mono big Single Ended amplifier (200-300 watts) made with triodes (IDHT or DHT doesn't matter for me) for outdoor professional audio.Have you got an on...

A “casual” look at full range usually results in 3 or 4 way playback for standard dynamic drivers or horns. There are a handful of “full range” commercial efforts from Edgar, Wilson, JBL, etc that are doing similar things with the range of each chann...

I wonder what kind sound not-impacting methods exist to connect and disconnect signal from moving coil cartridges. If we are talking about the switching the .1mV signal and monitor the results within a fairly high capacity playback then it beco...

Hello Anthony,I did experiment with metal tubes for bass in a sealed configuration as you are planning. The weight of them, even made out of thinner than you would like steel, is prohibitive. If you make them out of aluminum pipe, then it could be b...

You and I now have what seems to be very similar situations; similar MF and HF channels, in a room of similar size. However, I still have no operational dedicated mid-bass channels; you do. I have dedicated lower-bass channels; you do not. As is ...

[quote user="manisandher"]Well let's just say that I find the retailer's version of events difficult to believe. It would be just amazing if something pierced the (quite hefty) packing material and the metal underside of the power supply casing... an...

I just received mine on Friday. I am amazed at how easy to use and this machine is and how convenient it is compared to my old VPI. I always dreaded cleaning records with the VPI. With the audio desk I put the record in, push a button, come back ...

Oh, yes this is the whole idea of Remedies, it is not only a Red combination but it is an assembly with midbass channel which would make it a conventional box loudspeaker. You see, with all interesting things about Tannoy Red the woofer part of t...

Romy, I was reading one of your posts from 2009 that addressed the matter of perception, and as I listened to your most recent video last night I remembered Dr. Gizmo and his (often cartoonish) rants along similar lines. At some point, if we are goin...

Again, Romy, nothing short of amazing that time, energy and focus came together for you! And good to hear that you are still getting Music from old CDs. I hope it goes just as smoothly for you when you turn back to LPs.If you said anything about your...

The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers. To lo...

I stopped by on my way home at my local insulation shop to pick up my custom ordered, huge 28” half-pipe for my middle column. While I was there I saw something that made me horny. It looks like Knauf company last month changed technology and their c...

OK, I have desired to build the thing. It is not the I really need it but I would need some kind MiniMe monitor and I really would like to see how bad it will turn out to sound the speaker that I invasion with this drivers of mine. After much vague c...

I need to care just one octave at my 25Hz bump,I have tried the same solution in a big room, the thing is that we not only got output at 25 hz, but a lot also at 50 hz! There was no way surgically cut it to what we needed and the result was it messe...

The horns are painted with final coats. 240 feet of superb 6ga cable laid out to connect the horns (on the picture below). The sand bags sealed. The final bridges on the attic are built. The horns are almost ready to move up. I just need to hang the ...

It uses at the buttom a regular sealed or ported box and the driver as direct radiator but they also put the speaker on the spikes and made the bottom looks like it is a horn output. Also at this larger model[/quote]On the smalle...

Hi Mats,I am not using 4 on each side. I will be using two on each side. Until now I always liked sealed enclosures. However Tad drivers are more suited to ported configurations. If you do not push them to go too low and have a reasonable fs point, t...

It kind of said the Massachusetts is very much not “horny” state and there is not a lot of enthusiasts of horn loading live in Massachusetts or in the entire New England. If we New Englanders have the saturation of horn interest as high as California...

[quote user="noviygera"]My mid/upper horns play down to 190Hz. That is -- 188Hz is the Fs of the mid. It's a horn loaded a 10" Precision Device driver. So I need a section (or two sections) to cover the bottom (below 190hz). [/quote]

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

[quote user="mats"]Good start Dan!The JBL phenolic 2" driver is 2482.I would lower the crossover point as far as you dare, 300Hz or so.Now the 2226 will do what they are pretty good at.Later you will likely want to filter the 2445 around 2k.A 600Hz h...
