Thanks Romy!I went with two tiers as I do not have much space between the speakers and the side walls as I have a 2.5M cabinet on the front wall.I named my amp Koshka as I always felt Koshka made a contribution to the development of the Melquiades an...

Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

The first was the “new horns guy” …

This year behaved quite nicely. Seeing me he immediately told that he has not...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn ...

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...

Well, at the end of the day it is a personal choice. I listened to that WE-Demo at High End 2012 and beside all pros /cons there was a situation which was very unique: The room was always crowded, more smiling faces than in other rooms....of course y...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I very much insist on the fact that I do not retrieve my position on this mater. The relationship between a ‘content loaded music’ and capacity of a 'serious playback' is the only mater that counts and this is the threshold...

Hello Romy!Cessaro had severe resonance problems in their room, so I didn´t stay long here. What I noticed in the short time (maybe too short for a qualified judgement) was no stabiltiy broblems but less musical than the 300B last year. Hard to descr...

Josh, I admit I pretty much ass-u-me things sound bad until proven otherwise, because that's how it's gone for the 55 years or so I've been at this. Still, these are just the sorts of speakers I'd go out of my way to hear, given 1/2 a chance. Ironi...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

how to react upon the heard."I dont. Yet..."with 100Hz Tra...

I may have a point on this
some years ago, I had some confidence with the owner of a shop, and he let me use the demo equipment, though in fact my budget didn´t allow to buy him more than a few cheap things.one day I was psycothic listenig to s...

Hello Roman and friends,Here's a first post from me, to say hi and let you know why I've joined and perhaps ask a few questions...I'm building a pair of loudspeakers, with close to zero experience with loudspeaker building, hoping that the ...

Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are Romys own learning ex...

[quote user="KLegind"]I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now, how does it sound and what you drive with
it?[/quote]I own or have owned a number of amplifiers with valves before this, Pathos Twin Towers, Audion, Audio Note, Jadis etc. One of my friends who has the same Avantgarde...

I always said that the only goals that audio-reviewers is to drive the perception of their readers to the level stupidity or primitivism of a given product. As an illustration here is the Srajan Ebaen’s site. They came up with the Haliaetus review… i...

Yes, Utopia was demoed in a large room. However:
1) Amplification: and yes, Boulder amplifiers were used. Good observation, but I don't understand why you think they would be a bad choice. I thought they quite complemented the Gra...

Gargoyle, YMMV, but I associate LF propagation/amplification with mass; there has to be some way to really "anchor" at least the LF driver. I was thinking MF for the felt and/or paper horns, although I guess you could begin with a chicken wire form ...

Romy,Very briefly. I am wasting my time writing this response, and probably yours as well, but let me again, as you say, bite the bait and respond anyway.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

The presumption is that if we look at 1/4 million dollars playback system then
