Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and one side and the front have hu...

I have received some questions and criticism about tapped horns. In order to spread a better understand of tapped horns, I’ll restate the questions and try to answer them.
1.) The mouth of the tapped horn is too small to be useful.
Answer: ...

Good luck getting midrange from F120A for non annoying monitors. Seems reasonable to expect, many people have been very happy with these drivers... I haven't tried this specific driver, but have spent some time trying to get a simila...

I see, I misunderstood you, Robert. I was under impression that you “speak horns” and that you have lived with variety of horn-loaded playbacks and ideas and now you have decided to go for making your own compression drivers. If you did not and it wo...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] Yesterday a friend of mine brought over a CLIO analyzer and we graphed the impedance vs. frequency. I was surprised that the subhorn measures like a ported box tuned to 50 Hz ! [/quote]Yes, this all is very explainable. The...

Nice post Romy, you're probably right, I can't say since I've never listened to a pair of speakers that really told me "what can be done". I've always owned and listened to speakers that are commercially made, and I've had to choose among the ones th...

If you know how in some optical systems imagery get destroyed when an aperture getting closed to F64 or even smaller, then you understand what happens in compression driver when frequency get higher and spaces smaller. Yes, the proximity of wavelengt...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

.... the Haliaetus people did not even back-loaded their driver. If it was a horn loading then I might criticize the horn profile that they selected (and I do have quite a few arguments). However, those speakers are not horn loaded at all. They ...

Perhaps there are ways to horn load Lowthers that do not screw up the sound, but I don't know of any, and there are other reasons, as well, for not asking LF from Lowthers.For me the best thing about the high-pass-limited Lowther DX4 in OB is th...

Yoshi, I knew Frank Reps WAY back, in LA. I have talked with him in the last few years and know a little about his drivers, but I have never heard them.It was my understanding that Frank used the AER cones, or he OEMs them from AER?In...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H[/...

[quote user="haralanov"]Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex li...

This is one of my favorite posts on your site.My daily playback system uses Tannoy 15" Gold drivers in large back-loaded Autograph cabinets. It isn't used for critical listening, rather it's mostly on in the background playing my local NPR radio sta...

[quote user="Macman"] Anyways, seeing the back chamber of my midbass horn, you would say that its way to big, no? [/quote] It is very hard to say. You need to measure and to publish the resonance frequency of your loaded driver and view it in context...

Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] First question:
With the 1.5 gallon rear chamber, the resonance is 700Hz With the basket sealed by tape (very small rear chamber), the resonance is 49Hz Assuming there was not a typographical error, from this we...

Vasyachkin, if this is still relevant:I've tried dipole bass and dipole mids with horns mid/highs in my system. If anything, dipole works the WORST for the bass and here's why:It does not load the room with bass pressure (or bass sound). ...

I guy that I know invited me a few way back to listen a new speaker that he brought from a Plaishner , the Switzerland manufacturer. The company make own flat loudspeakers and now they looks like parley to making speakers. This is very innovative des...

[quote user="noviygera"] I am NOT talking about single wideband drivers or any back loaded type horns. I am talking about properly made front loaded horns. For example, the Danley Synergy horns, that use single horn with multiple drivers to cover a w...

This weekend I visited a friend of my in NY who played to me his playback. I need to say that I did not care too much about his playback and visited him as I like him not his audio adventure but the Sound of his playback did surprised me. It was not ...

[quote user="HookEm"]OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr p...

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

+++ Tannoy-style ("Laid Back"): dampen the distortion relative to the music; these listeners can tolerate less distortion, but also need less of the musical signal to be satisfied.I wish I would agree was that what I'm hearing from Dunnoy I might ful...

Oh, rowuk, you have no idea how much I agree. To me passive theaters very much like ports and I hated anything which stay even remotely close to it. However, this time the entire Remedios project is is very different s s is built not based upon knowl...
