[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compress...

Got the ultra low DCR toroids coil and pit them in use. Yes, it was very right move and they a bit trimmed the midbass tail. Playing with inductance and listening how the midbass decays (measurements are worthless in this case) I ended up with 4.8mH ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not use compression driver
for bass channel. I would like to have my system esthetically balanced, to get let
say 120Hz from a compression driver would take too long horn and it would be no
way time-aligned it. So,...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Paul, Alinco magnets perfectly able to drop a charge "just like that" and I presume that it is what happened. If cause the environmental difficulties would not do it alone, at least for that time. Over winter I had output tubes worn up on both amps a...

Hi everybody, after reading RomytheCat's Macondo Setup I am very impressed ( phantastic music room ...) . Presently I have no working horns ( they are boxed), just questions. First, Romy describes his horns as spherical. La...

Get your Upper bass horn sounding properly first, this should be a lot of fun,
Play it by itself untill you get the perfect sound out of it
adjusting the back chamber volumen changes the sound a lot.
Why use a different driver form 2400hz? Do...

I find that one of the most interning and stimulating ideas that you expressed was your experience with your bass horn

I wish I could stop the US government from selling AK47s in any corner shop in the US. If you give a monkey a gun, most probably he will shoot himself. If you give a monkey an AK47, well that is different. He will take anything he wants and few thi...

Back to the subject of this thread!
I heard some rendition of Dr Edgar's gigantic monsters at the Montreal
show this year (2006) running with Modwright electronics, some 16 wpc

I would like to ask for your thoughts on the importance of back chamber shape and construction. This topic became of interest when I learned that the back chamber of my midrange horn (250hz - 2khz) is noticeably resonating when I put my hand on i...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

[quote user="Serge"]I will think about it. Romy, of course you know me. Use your little grey cells as Msr Poirot used to say.Initial thoughts: hunting HF reflections and damping them is generally not a good idea. It is like making a speaker cabinet c...

I have been lurking here for a while and am fascinated at the discussions of TONE. I play trumpet professionally in Germany and have many opportunities to experience big rooms and big pipe organs as well as symphony halls with various degrees of acou...

Rich,
I think it’s too early to seriously to talk about sound of your driver. As I understand you have no horn for this thing. Your comment that the driver goes all the way unto 8kHz clearly indicates that you used wrong horn before. If you stick a...

Give yourself time and let your unconscious work on it; you might have overlooked a cause originating in the electronics.

[quote user="serenechaos"] By “midbass horn” I’m talking about a horn with about a flare frequency of about 60 Hz, to use with Fane 8” drivers, to start with.

[quote user="Michaelz"]Some drivers have a rising db curve from low to high frequencies. The horn may help with flattening the FR. If the FR of a given coaxial compression driver is flat, I would agree with your conclusion.[/quote]Mi...
