If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber resting on the floor, cut...

Romy,>> getting rid of active crossover and go line-level shall give you very worthy and very predictable benefit then chasing a murky SET ideas.This is exactly what I plan to try by moving the current active filter to line level (in the amp). ...

Romy, I understand you are saying that a midrange horn rated flat to 300HZ should really be crossed at 600 or 1200 HZ. That claim doesn't make sense to me, esp. with a 24 db or higher crossover (active). Unless you are saying that hor...

Recently, I added JBL 2220 for below 200 and replaced TOA DSP with Pioneer D-23 4way active crossover. The result is very positive, but there are still many issues I'd like to attend.I'll be out of country early in September so that'll be a goo...

ok. maybe we have a different understanding of "electronic equalization". We do not use active (i.e. electronic) equalization in the amplification chain. There is of course some equalization in the passive crossover but I really don't see what's ...

I'm monitoring your progress constantly, so I'm well aware of your discovery. But I find it somehow a cheap trick. This is a purely irrational feeling, absolutely irrelevant for you and yoursystem. Since I have the breadboards I keep looking for a ba...

Dominic:Welcome to the army of the "Great White Horn". I have been using these beasts for almost thrity years.The flange on these horns is designed for use with a 1.4" or 1.5" driver. The JBL 2420 is a 1" 3 bolt "JBL pattern" driver.Adapters are avai...

Hi Murataltuev,I have two horn based systems but the system that is similar to yours or Romy's is the one I am currently building. The drivers and horns are as follows.38hz - 160hz - Tad 1601b - Bass Array (4)160hz - 600hz - Supravox 285-2000 hornfab...

I did not make my mind about it but I have some “concerns”. Using SS amps and hearing different SS amps I do not like their bass and the notion of a powerful enough DSET to be able to drive ULF in A1 was born. Sounds logical. However, recently I ...

The answer will be a complicated one, as the preamp is driving an active crossover. The many storage elements means the impedance is a function of frequency. There is no "10k ohms" answer. I hope you are driving these network with s...

Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

Hello friends,For long I wanted to address the issues of too few power outlets and improvement of AC quality. I currently use two $10 power strips. I do not have $2000 for APS purepower, so maybe some one can help me start off with the basics. I have...

Is there any abstract value to going for a preamp with a stronger output if you're using a passive xo at line level?I'd prefer to answer this question myself but i really don't have the budget to be swapping amps.How does a PLLXO interact with a non-...

Saturntube, thanks for the explanation. I thought that HR2 was just inspired by RCA but it look like it direct copy of it.

Sounds like you have the important parts, all right. Well done!I am in Crossover Hell, myself, just now. They are the Devil's Playground! If you can get the drivers' actual, in-the horn, in the room, raw active data curves, then I recommend LEAP a...

Well, how many absolutely transparent passive crossovers are there, line level or not? For me, the question is the other way round: if a passive crossover at 1 kHz can be done with good quality, I can "get away" with a single amp for the region over ...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...

Goto and is very prolific Goto devotee. Some people love to be groupies of some

Yes but you are still going to need a higher order slope than 6db to prevent unnecessary non linear distortion from the bass driver and then the insertion losses inherent in a PLL crossover become an issue. Higher order slopes and active operation wo...

Some days ago, I re-installed the Goto CF-1 active crossover (fixed x-frequencies: 220/1000/5000 hz) with the full plethora of my amps....I guess Goto's recommendation is to cross at 220hz then... although 300hz seems to sound better. I haven't ...

Operating a driver in an open baffle will cause front-to-back sound wave cancellation, aka the acoustical short circuit. In addition to this, a plane board baffle offers zero air load to the drivers cone. This is not good. That's why it sounded like ...
