[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy,
I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have cer...

This is very interesting subject that gave me a lot of head ache until I figured the things out.
It is known that I have aversion to ground that comes with mains. It is very dirty, so a few years back I drove 15 feet copper poll in pretreated backya...

What I hate usually and in audio in particularly is the situation when a professional know that s/he is able to deliver a satisfactory resale and s/he subordinate and enslave everything to this believe. Pretend you are have a house with a single ...

Romy:Wrong? I am every now and then wrong, as most people are, and I am always grateful for any chance to gain a better understanding of anything that has my interest. But given how I now understand your position, I don't think there is a real di...

BTW, I was not kidding about the dual-concentric 8” Fane. They did make a version of Studio 8M with a tweeter in the middle. I have it sitting in my driver storage…Another BTW: the tractrix curve was not introduced by Br...

Again, I want to emphasize that I very much agree with the idea that there are levels of perception. Your explanation is nevertheless a good one and is consistent with my ideas as well. I simply feel that once can AFFECT levels of perception indepen...

Anthony, it is not the subject of this thread but I am replying you since you raised a question. Is there are a lot of conspiracies about Tannoy vintage crossovers. They did many different versions and all of them well known. If somebody need I can h...

Just a few days ago there was an anniversary of Sergey Rachmaninoff’s 1st performance of his Prelude in C-sharp-Minor (Op.3, No.2). There was plenty said about this fantastic music that long time ago had become one of the greatest treasury of p...

Romy, Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Your first ...

I like this Polish guy in your tube interview. I hate his speakers
of cause. The best this is this YouTube interview is the Peter Breuninger’s proposal

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

I don't know the full story of how loudspeakers went from field coils to permanent magnets. I believe that ultimately it was dictated by the price and availability of Alnico. Eventually Alnico became cheap enough to make similar or higher strength ma...
