Angelo, with your further evolution in audio you might discover sometimes that there is something more to “it” then just “having fun listening to music”; that at certain level of subject understanding there is nothing subjective in audio assessments,...

romyi agree that to reproduct music as "accurate" as possible, phisically speaking, there are probably not many ways. and most of the audio industry, they really are not following the right approach, as their goals are really others, main...

Angelo,I don't think there are different recordings (to please different tastes) of the same performance. What we gonna do about that?If somebody likes "opera audio" (I've never heard about this company) can be just a symptom. Many other well correla...

hi gregthere is a factor to be considered. a consumer bases his buyings not only regarding quality, but also his budget. if i would be a millionaire, i certainlly would buy the best possible out there available, without regarding pricetag....

music can bring us moments of relax, goodfeeling, enjoy, and has certainly to do with spirituality and happyness. we forget what god had created music for : to praise him. 1 Chronicles 15:16 David told the chief ...

[quote user="audiofilofine"] Sorry but I prefer not to say the brand of the diaphragms .I used only moving parts and not the structure, the suspensions were treated with a silicone resin[/quote]Yes, it is good thing to treat suspensions not the c...

Angelo,Although the idea might be looks like an “elegant” at a hi-fi shows but unfortunately it has a lot of pitfalls, the terminal pitfalls for my point of view. This is only my opinion but still:1) LF channel- the bassmaxx. I never had or hear...

[quote user="angeloitacare"]hi Pauli had already Altec horns, and comparing them to wood horns, they really sound poor. What i really doubtis if someone is able to hear the difference between high gloss finish/ high porosity surface of horns.I ...

Great idea , why only big boys can make money on chinesse labor.
How about WE 555 copy ? It should be even cheaper than S2 .Why they could not make a diaphragms too?? count me for 2 pairs.I don't think Roman is interested in Audio distribu...

hi romy
roole number one : before critic someone's product, hear it first. these french guys did not think 5 minutes, to come to their design. they are very high skilled acoustic scientists and engeneers , and if they came to this result, there is a...

Angelo, sorry I misunderstood you as I’m under impression that you look forward to come up with some kind of commercial product. (You implied it before). I hope you are an adult who has basic understanding of nature of products production? I’m not tr...

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

Hello, Angelo

Yes, Avantgarde can do it if the situation is right. I ...

Angelo, I do not think this site add anything applied to the subject. I personally do not feel that upper bass horns require any phase plugs; quite in contrary they are dreadful for upper bass horns. When a straight horn employed then the horn does n...

Hello Angelo,
Even though it may not be a good idea to use a phase plug in a straight Upper Bass horn, I did find the information educational, and just wanted to thank you for the link. Thanks also to Romy for his comments on the subject.
