[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet read Romy's last post where he recommends putting the mic back at listening point). [/quote]
I would like to stress it again that t...

Sorry for reviving this thread without a good reason, but there is something I wanted to add to my comments about amplification. Recently I heard this system http://www.hornfabrik-eder.de/ which was driven by an old Telefunken studio amp. O...

Hello AnthonyDo not worry too much about how high the system ends up or how high the highest horn is positioned. If you are far enough (I am 470cm away from my drivers) and align them properly, the sound is right in front of you. Actually my system i...

[quote user="drdna"]It is important to remember that the Subjective musical result is the goal, but this does not mean to disregard all objective data. When one sees something as ridiculous as the Brazilian horn, you kind of have to assume obje...

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

Ulf, are you still around?
I would be interested in an update on this project.. are you listening to this setup a year later?
I have a pair of these same drivers (TAD tm-1201) sitting new in boxes and trying to determine what horn profile, tractr...

I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a dedicated room, 21' x 25' w...

Kris, I agree with you about the unobtainable 300Hz.Had really hoped for that, but so far no go with my set up:An old Oris-150 with a 4" throat wood adapter/cradle that John Sheerin made for me,with the 2482 playing out the back, so you see the entir...

Very interesting discussion. I have taken a close look at Marco's horns and am thinking about using them in a horn installation. I plan to use the TAD 4003 from, say, 1 to 8 kHz, and a tweeter above that. I would love to use horns below 1 kHz but wil...

Hello Romy and everyone, I am going to order a pair of 400Hz/1" tractrix horns from http://www.stereo-lab.de/tractrix.html to replace/compare with a pair of 500Hz TAD-like square mouth horns. These are to be used initially with the drivers that ...

I have no idea who he is but I thought that this might be interesting in context of this thread. It is a Hong Kong guy who replaces his looks like Avalon Eidolon with some kind of 3-way Cessaro. It looks as he uses 833 amp. I do not know a lot about ...

It looks like Cessaro have introduced a new model - Omega

I do not know a lot about it but from what I can judge from picture it is the same as the Gamma loudspeaker with the f...

I did not see, thanks for pointing it out. As I said before Cessaro is
probably the most sensible company who makes horn loaded loudspeakers today and
I have comment on this Gamma model. This is a smaller version of Cessaro with new bass horn. It i...

If you know how in some optical systems imagery get destroyed when an aperture getting closed to F64 or even smaller, then you understand what happens in compression driver when frequency get higher and spaces smaller. Yes, the proximity of wavelengt...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

The only reason I don't have a giant WE system is that I can't afford it and I don't have room. I sold all of my WE and Lansing field coil gear to my Silbatone friend back in 1989, because I know he would never sell it, he was putting together a ser...

Maybe, some people would be interested in what I am doing with my system. I have been continuously listening and sparsely making changes and letting them sink in. For now, I feel more settled and think the biggest obstacle for me in reaching the ...

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

Coops, I think in some ways Romy is right in that modern commercial horn designs based on reference drive units do rather price themselves out of the market.
It's long been the preserve of the dedicated enthusiast and avid tweaker who is prepared ...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

The reticulated foam makes a difference and that is for sure. However it does lower the output. From about 1db up to 2.5db! depending on the amount you put inside your horns. Is it transparent? It is not, as it creates and audible difference even if ...

Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox site went live at 9 a.m. this morning. It has very interesting implications for the compression drivers landscape in that it suddenly makes buying a hi...

[quote user="ayebee"]An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would ...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

Bluewolf, I do not have experience
with modification of TAD drivers. You did not say what you want to modify, what
you want to accomplish but this is a separate story.
Interesting that the whole
notion of TAD drivers modification is kind of p...
