Again, I am not insisting that the material of that horn will behave like a bell so much as I am suggesting that bell-like sounds will eminate from this horn. Is the difference clear? Some of those Altec horns were textbook exam...

As I learned today the Australian Martin seddon know as the Azurahorn Guy has a web site and he also does horns:
http://www.azurahorn.com/azurahorn_tradesecrets.htmlFrom Martin’s site:Azurahorn is best described as a long term audio project, funded ...

Hello, Ulf, and Happy New Year. Slightly OT, I realize, but have you tried at all to optimize the L Cao driver as a direct radiator, and disregarding LF? Do you have any impressions of this driver above 300 - 400 Hz and below 4.5 - 6k Hz, with respec...

If to compose oneself, the Reality is a restless, moving awareness that does not stay satisfied. How much is "improvement" and how much is change-for-itself is not so easy to judge at any given time. Horns or direct drivers, we want to create and r...

ok here is my first post about anything sound but i rather go straight on it :because i didnt find anything online about it but find something more precious( romy cat web )ok romy here its:after many years of listening to various simple 3way or 4way...

Your point about relative levels is well taken. Still, the typical concert grand piano, for instance, does about a 27 Hz fundamental, as I recall (and certain pianos go rather lower), and some other instruments are not far behind. If to simply low p...

Have been playing with the Dannoy’s for four weeks now and they have significantly improved. Using my Trinnov pre-pro to see and adjust the parameters, i can answer Rom'y points.1. Frequency response: combined with a JL f113 subwoofer crossed over at...

Jarek, don't worry about me spending too much time trying to figure out the Dannoys. For one thing, I've already spent several decades charting vintage and newer "special" drivers and sound. For another, I am already years into my own speaker project...

I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...

Paul S wrote:"typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge". I do not disagree with that statement. I do feel the major advantage of stereo is not "stereo", but the separation of parts of the information in the signal ...

Herman, I agree with the root idea about "dissimilar" materials for drivers being a problem with respect to "pitch" as this applies over the audio bandwidth, and here are some more thoughts about this subject.With Robin's explications, it is easy to ...

I appreciated a couple of things, probably for different reasons than Q put them forward, I think. For one thing, I more or less discount his timelines, and also the idea that certain audio components reached a high-water mark as "complete" achievem...

Ok, I blamed the tweeters and MF drivers now the turn of the MF horns. The Mid Frequency Horns (I’ll them “MFH” from now and on) are the stinky like pieces of horn installations, and if they are not done correct then they screw up anything big time T...

Don't worry Romy, I know exactly what you mean. I tend to discount the opinion of anyone who raves about a system's ability to play back patricia barber. Speaking of which, if I were in her shoes, bunions and corns aside, I'd be mildly...

Dear Romy Chapter 1 in the audio cyclopedia, you should read it because you are the won who lacks experiance when it come to building a sound system. #1 from were you listen to system from you should be able to look down the thr...

Sounds like you have your system in your room the way you want it. I am looking for a ULF solution that has some flexibility, something I can use in a different room later without starting over. I've been thinking for some time about DSP for ULF. ...

There are a couple ways to look at it.The project could be taken from the same sort of perspective as Great Plains, id est, simply new manufacture as a replacement for a 'historic' piece of a equipment. If it can sound close enough to the original th...

Like I said before, I found the silk domes best below the highest frequencies, just like your Vitavox, so it's another case of pick your poison. And I'm not sure about matching dissimilar driver types/efficiencies to mo...

OK, Romy, that EnABL stuff got my attention!I can't recall all of the bad ideas borne of good research, but this EnABL thing sounds a little fishy, and certainly it sounds too good to be true, as existing in a simple and really useful form. Can...

[quote user="Paul S"] I can report that the G2Si loses the "glycerin" at 10k with the ML2s…. [/quote]
I concur with this finding. Any ribbon tweeter that I heard has "glycerin" tone but it is because the ribbon mostly crossed too low. I would say th...

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is overwhelmed by compression drivers. I tried the A7s way back when they were current and everyone's favorite, and I tried various modifications with like-minded friends; but I came to the concl...

Hi Cat,The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. This kind of crosses over into some driver discussions so bear with me...My Tannoy 10" ...

Kerry, from what you have said so far, I am not surprised that you have gone whole-hog digital. I see that yours is an HT system. The first thing anyone here would say is, physically time-align your HF, although I suppose you "could" do that with DEQ...

[quote user="Jorge"]I tend to like drivers with plastic suspension. Radian makes retrofit diaphragms for JBL with plastic suspension, maybe they will help you achieve the tone you are looking for.
Extensions are easy to machine out of aluminum, eve...

I have had similar impressions to other speakers using these drivers. For example I found the top of the line Avalon Eidolon diamond to be similarly colorless and lifeless. Also a pair of Vaic speakers (designed by the guy from Lumenwhite...

"Vitriolic" is certainly the wrong word to apply to my "attitude"/post(s), Dominic. "Amused" is more like it. I am amused by claims that ANY 4" driver makes a stand-alone "Full-Range" speaker able to "presen...

Ok, I ordered this a day before making the thread, and got them yesterday. These are overall the best headphones I've used, having neutrality, details, and natural sound. What's important to note is that when you touch the back or inside, you don't r...

Of course we do not defend or support a given topology itself but we only wrestle with the results we are able to get from it. Right? But perhaps there are some basics we can agree on? Basically, if it's Tone you are after, you are swimming upstre...
