I also was disappointed in most of the SC LPs although they are far from the worst reissues IMO. It's just that the original deccas were so good its not easy to improve on them. I think a couple of their reissues of DGG LPs are usefully better than t...

Yes. That kind of placement was a giant improvement in all aspects!I'm pushing the speakers around in a big circle today./Ronnie...

Hi Romy,I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have mo...

I took receipt of my new Anima speakers yesterday.Aesthetically, they match my listening room very well. Early days, but sonically, driven by my 211 mono amps with Elrog output tubes, they easily better any other speaker I've had in this room. It's f...

[quote user="kodomo"]Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing...

Romy, I was delighted to see your video monologue, and I look forward to following along your new journey.No speaker can reproduce the reality of a live musical event for various reasons, and all speakers are by their nature a conglomeration of engin...

About 20 years ago Stereophile had a short article about a custom horn speaker system in the San Francisco area funded by a richie rich audiophile. They showed a picture of his system in a warehouse with humongous bass horn speakers far larger than p...

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

I experimented with both very wide and more conventional speaker placements. I found that bringing the left and right closer together increased tonal density, and overall I preferred this to the better imaging I had in the wider placement.If you have...

symbiotic diaphragms were never used in the 19's. this may be part of the "bad sound" that this guy was experiencing.they used the 802-8g driver with ultra light epoxy and aluminum diaphragm that allowed hf response up to 22,000 cycles when pairedwi...

I heard a friend's horn system recently and was very impressed. I don't have the resources to put together a diy system as discussed here, amazing as they seem, but am looking for recommendations for commercially available finished horn speakers that...

Does anyone really have the resources, and the patience, and the evolved audio/musical discrimination to develop a 4 or 5-way FR speaker system from scratch, including each and every driver? I can actually see a "theoretical" benefit in using field ...

... Anyhow, if you feel that Morison Audio is a right implemented “360 degree dispersion at all frequencies into a solid angle” (soothing that actually never happen live) then is any place what the Morison Audio’s re...

For what I can understand, your system works as a treatment on the cones surface. In ported (bass-reflex) speakers some of the bass energy comes from the port. Should it be treated as well? Maybe since the sound coming from the port is not phase cohe...

Audio people constantly make, from my perspective, a big mistake trying positioning their loudspeakers in their listening room. While they do so, they try to make the loudspeakers to perform better in their rooms. However this is quite fatly thing to...

Jarek, one might also consider that the "small" Auro-capable processors are 7.2 channels (larger might be 14.2). When thinking/speaking of "Auro 3D", I think we are a long way from Romy's original 2-rear-speakers "RI". It is still not clear to me if ...

Hello all! My name's Cody; just a disclaimer: I am an employee of TARA Labs. I'm not here to promote TARA Labs products, I was just hoping to have some worthwhile discussions with other audiophiles.

great benefit that the equipment rock can go between the speakers with multiple

Hi Guys, I spent the last year in Vietnam working with local coiled bamboo craftsmen to create a Bluetooth speaker from this amazing handicraft, I’m really happy with the end result but wanted some feedback from you guys before I launch it. See p...

If you do go forward with the concrete speakers/woofers, I will chime in with some concrete mix specifications.You will want experimental batches of the concrete mix done before the actual production mix.zz....

This new speakers from DeVore look interesting, though subwoofer could be better. I wish they were sealed box, but this is what it is. Unfortunately there is no chance for me to listen to them, but I'm willing to hear your idea or anyone who had chan...

[quote user="Paul S"]I recieved and accepted an invitation to hear an earlier version of the Cogent speakers, and I was subsequently asked for a considered opinion of the sound. I guess the designers had read from my posts various criticis...

BTW, in the end of it’s live Fane tied to do flat loudspeakers. The try to convince that it was not the computer-grade but the real deal. Conceptually, if it properly implemented (a big opened question) then the flat design might be very interesting ...

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, apologies for being unclear: the amp is not yet built: this is just a spare chassis I am offering for others who may wish to build it too. Inputs and outputs have not yet been added to the chassis. I therefore cannot co...

I am thinking about building the full range Melquiades amp. I have inexpensive speakers meadowlark kestrel hot rod (88dB). I am planning on replacing the speakers, however, I am not sure when. My question is - should I even try the...

I am still waiting for a (single stage) tube that can make full range Music via speakers. I mean, this is the real issue, isn't it? Sure a good tube will pass a "full range signal" through the right transformer; but where is the tube that will do t...

Steve,
I hardly know what the NXT panels are and I hardly undusted them even after reading the 6moon article. I kind of understand what you are trying to accomplish, though I perhaps not exactly agree with the methods and means. Still, when we talk ...
