Angelo,
I care less about the “commercially available” objectives, honestly it is too boring.
However, whatever you do not be distracted that what you are making will be reminding Avantgardes. The Avantgarde Trio Classic (in vertical configuration)...

Hm, I do not know men, but it des not work. Over the last few years I have tried the ordinal metal diaphragm 4 or 5 times and not with the Super Melquiades it is the most successful try but I still feel than it is not the sound that I would like to g...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important files from there were backed...

Romy,
The upper bass horn has a Ceramic driver 18sound 8M400, the MF horn has an 18sound 2060A Neodymium magnet, tweeter is Beyma Ceramic driver and supertweeter is Fostex Alnico. The Leak amps are PP deep class A, we do have a...

[quote user="martinshorn"]This also
explains the isobaric setup of both drivers.They use a conventional closed rear
cabine. And radiate properly loaded into the horn.[/quote]
Sorry, I did not understand the loading you
described, I thought it is ...

[quote user="noviygera"]I am very curious what "properly made" means when perusing the tonal attributes of LF. What properties or specifications other than driver diameter do you evaluate when perusing a better tone?[/quote]

Whoever followed the following thread:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/LatestPosts.aspx?ThreadID=2974kind of know what was brewing with Macondo tweeter. Over the last couple months I was working with RAAL Company

In terms of the length of the horn, I'm allowing myself a total height of 7'6" (just below the average ceiling height of 8'). In regards to the mouth diameter, that's another matter. (It appears that I will have to build two [2] different...

This is terrific information Ulf. Thank you very much. I won't start builing until early december but will post the project here.
Plan to form my horns from microcrystaline wax first, so i can experiment with throat termination. I have a background...

I have no idea what he is and what he is looking for. He declares himself as “just an average guy in an average basement shop building hi-fi audio horn speakers from wood”. I do not even know in what country his leaves, not that it is important...

Yes, but if you could make it broadband enough, it might function
effectively as a filter. IE, remove a broad notch from 300 to the mass
rolloff of the horn. Just thinking aloud. What about a front
compression chamber? That would seemingly be the ...

Romy,
More to come soon but a couple comments regarding bass horns ( and one on Tractrix horns ) :
The Edgar Seismic subwoofer ( 18" JBL E155-4 hyperbolic-exponential folded horn, 40 Hz Fc ) works very well in my room - much better than the 1...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable free air resonance... such a toy would be wonderful with custom midbass and bass horns... [/quote]
It is why I use cone drivers f...
|

Ah, you were asking about the tunning of the uperbass horn?
That is very simple. You need to make the primary resonance to hit exactly at
the horn’s mouth rate. So, it is it 110Hz horn then make the primary impedance
to peak at 110Hz, there are ma...

Thanks guys, I have contacted Peter and the JBLGuy, let see what it would fish. I would need to find the Vitavox Mike from UK, but all his formal contact do not works - it looks he closed down his old shop. If somebody knows his new email/phone t...

I was thinking about the throat of my hypothetic midbass horn. This is complex, controversial and it has pretty much no answer, at least in the formeat I ask it. I will share my thoughts with you. Let pretend that I went for exponential midbass profi...

[quote user="CO"] I dont need flat to 20K but dropping after 10K necesetates a tweeter. [/quote]
And there is nothing wrong with it. No one 500Hz driver that said is doing to 20K in reality does it. In fact if a driver goes to 20K then the place for...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

Hi Romy,
Again, good words (don't want to kiss your ass ;) ). Though, I get your point and agree, one should not think that this winter picture means Goto sound cold (u never know what one could read out of it) .
What Klaus also highlighted, is...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

Mjloudspeaker,
That is all fine. I get that you like them, even though said nothing about the “new” M4 sound. There is another “even though”. You do not log it into horn and like just the sound of open driver. It is absolutely not indicative. ...

During the 2002 CES, late at night, a friend of mine demonstrate me something that was tying to address for a few years. It was a very different “tone” form a loudspeaker or I would rather say a different relationship between reproduced and auditable...

As can be seen in above photos, the front chamber is in reality "chamber of horrors" with highly polished surface interior, and look at the phase plug, after disassembly, I put it back together, and how can you align it? All that holds it togethe...

Of cause it shall be mentioned in the context of thin there that there is always the ALE Acoustic solution. The Japanese ALE Acoustic make two midbass drivers: P1260 and P160.

Hi folks. Who ever listened to Living Voice Vox Olympian Speakers might've liked them as much as I do.
They got a great realism in their projection. Some things are obvious, some even claimed.
Its claimed to use excellent drivers, high quality ...

With that Moscow guy it is not the question of his reliability but his sanity. I hope you understand
that response he gets is rather a measuring of his horn then measuring his
driver. He unfortunately neither intellectually (audio-wise) not psychol...
