[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Sean, this subject is tricky. You might like your original Altec 802 better than your new 802G. (I did not
even know that they do new version). I have no doubts about your preferences
but how sure are you prefer the sound...

The AudioFederation guy posted pictures from RMAF show with Cogent room. (The images are courtesy to http://www.audiofederation.com)
I was wrong in my previous post, as Cogent did demonstrate their loudspeakers with Ionovac ion tweeter. Yester...

[quote user="ulf"]One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF.

Luc,
I am not ‘lucfm’ and I hope he will reply to you but I would like to pass some of my observation that you might find useful.
In my past when I discovered Fane Studio 8M I went over a number of 5-8 inches. At that time I used AG’s Trio upperb...

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

Yes I have heard the sad news. over the course
of the last few months various people contacted me and told me that he did not

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn g...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Today turned the playback and I was surprise with gray and unexpressive bass. “What the hell?”- I asked myself. There was absolutely nothing done to playback but I look like I lost bass. My initials sentiment was that...

I was listening last night a string quartet rehearsal. The play was for the most part justifiably non-so-glorious and I was thinking about my little audio things. For sure our upper MF drivers nowhere near where they need to be. There is too much...

Art Dudley printed his review of Volti Audio's Vittora loudspeakers.

He said: “This is surely one of the finest horn-loaded speakers made in the US” Well, that is kind of dubious ...

I hate Italians. They do the best women in the world; they have one of the best cuisines in the world; they use one of the best languages in the world but they still where shamelessly eliminated in the first round of the 2010 World Cup. Assholes!...

[quote user="Paul S"]I recieved and accepted an invitation to hear an earlier version of the Cogent speakers, and I was subsequently asked for a considered opinion of the sound. I guess the designers had read from my posts various criticis...

Steve Schell pointed to Bill Woods’ site aka RCAfan.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]The thraot size will be 7 inches. [/quote]
Wow, THAT IS BOLD!!!! The 45Hz how from 7” throat – that is very-very cool and very positively-obnoxious.

I'm not sure I understand what point you consider a priority, but I can explain the reason for my initial inquiry and what I intend to do.My initial inquiry was intended to acquire information on whether a horn with a target range of 40Hz to 400Hz co...

Yes, it is certain in what I proposed there is majored disadvantage of having a suspended floor. A suspended is like a bad turntable – no matter what you do you would never be able to get proper lower octave. The idea to have horn firing from ro...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

I would like to share more of my troughs about the ESD

All thinking about ULF are usually centered on 3 subjects:
drivers, topology and amplification. Even though these 3 subsets very much intertwined
