With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have been surprised that you have not already pursued the Zarathustra for your multi-driver, sealed LF. From your early descriptions of both, this seemed like a natural pairing and the most likely way to go, to keep the ...

Quickly again, for the record, and The Google:The back wave of the Manger has a much less flat response than the front wave. There are peaks out the back. It is not a symmetrical dipole. This issue is only of interest if you are using the back ...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Roman, could you (or enybody ) elaborate a little bit on JBL L8 and its application ? Not so much sensible info on the net besides that its a fullrange usefull in 40Hz-8kHz. [/quote]I do not know, how can I elaborate if I never ...

I wish to construct a single horn speaker that might be used to explore Romy's amplifier design now, while not being useless within a 4-way system in the future (to be housed in a 5x5x3.6m room).I plan to construct it by pouring in a mixture of resin...

A horn basically directs acoustic energy in a single focused direction, maximizing the efficiency with which the air mass to moved by acoustic waves is coupled to the driver. The best thing is to read a good book that covers the basics in simpl...

Paul,I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design. Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpgIn this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.This so...

Josh, I am not sure what you want to say. If you looking to name the reason why you like the sound of Gotos then you are guessing as much as anybody else. I can tell you even more. I very confident that the Goto folks themselves are guessing. I do no...

Hi Romy,
I spoke to Mr. GOTO about your question today and he told me that the reasonance of SG145LD4 is at 24Hz. If customer want to build a 20Hz, he will recommend to use at least 2 driver per channel but best to use 4 driver per c...

Yes, there are a lot of paths.I can see that many DIYers are very much stick on crossovers, changing capacitors, choosing slopes in digital filters - FIR or not FiR and so on.I know very experienced people who now say that with digital crossover he d...
