[quote user="oxric"] I have always felt that if I went for a vertical array of 10" drivers, I would keep the drivers closer spaced than you do in your 'Dunlavy' made enclosure. Based on the 110" height of the tower, I see that you would be doing this...

I've only had the pleasure of listening to 'professional' horns (whatever 'professional' really stands for)--horn normally used in concerts and small venues. (It was always so obvious to me--by listening--that the range of the horn-loaded 'bass...

As I have mentioned previously I’m slowly in a process of assessing other opportunities for my Macondo, since the EV T350 driver it too soft to be paired with Vitavox S2. While I am doing it an old observation keep knocking in my head. A few years ag...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

Hello again, Romy... friends.. cats...
I am sorry for my delinquence in replying... but the good news is that in the past weeks I have managed to get a beginning Goto system together... more on that in a minute..

I just got an email from a site visitor that there is a pair of one year old GOTO 146 woofers floating in Japanese Yahoo.

[quote user="rowuk"]Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the a...

Hi all
I dont know why Goto do what they do...
But if we imagine using only the - good - part of a "perfect" horn/driver combination we will find that the bandwidth will be very small.
About two octaves probably...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

[quote user="cv"] Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; your comments elsewhere on the Nolas and ribbons in general had me loathe to make any recommendations. I think we may have very different tastes in terms of tre...

user="anthony"]Thanks Romy. To be honest they look better in
the flesh than I had thought they would so I am very happy with them. I
think I'll make the steel order today so I can finish them at my leisure.
If I end up with 8 drivers a s...

I think this post need to have an epigrapher:

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...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

Sorry, Teodor, I do not know what Keele's paper has to do with anything, where I failed and what you are trying to say. The fact that I will not be hearing of you anymore will certainly help me to sleep well as I was desperately afraid that you will...

Hi everyone,Ive been tracking this exciting conversation for some days. One from outside may think this is weird, we are making a lot of air about some sound-description without getting to the point. Im (or was) normally more rational. And if I read ...

[quote user="Romy the
Cat"] If I defeat the hardness by dropping of the output impedance then I
would understand what is going on but I minimize the hardness by raising the
output impedance!!! This is very interesting and I need to think about it ...

I understand your recommendation and agree. I need to have upper bass and MF and than see how to merge fundamental channel in between.So, I better postpone experiments with compression drivers and only compare 12" Supravox in two horns: 42Hz 2m long ...

I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought t...

What is the purpose of having the flexibility to re-configure from straight to J horn?This thing will be large and massive enough that physically moving it from one configuration to another will be difficult and require a lot of effort. Conceptually...

Alrhough the phasure stuff does sound very good, I do not consider it to be “the bleeding edge”. I consider a preamp allergy to be very typical of those “making a point” for instance! Declaring that only 0.6V sounds good on the DAC demonstrates yet m...

Romy,We have discussed apottted Compression Driver's before, and I would not commit to promising performance you would like. Howere, here is a place where spotted speakers might well answer your needs, without altering anything you are currently doin...

Thanks, El, an interesting driver indeed. It would be interesting to listen the thing though I have personally no use from that type of driver. Purely on the specs there are some moments that I would like to see different. The 250Hz resonance freque...

Hi Keith,Is there any chance of sharing the measurements? I agree with the your comment regarding the sound of them. Although in saying that, I have managed to only listen to a few other different compression drivers so far. Is there somewhere I...

Romy, if you have some spare diaphragm/VC assemblies for your S2 drivers, do the experiment I mentioned above (remove the outer layer of the VC) and we will talk about the inductance in terms of sound after you hear the results with your own ears... ...

[quote user="miab"]I had a dac that took 10 months, a turntable bearing a year and two compression drivers that took almost three years to arrive. All of them had me wanting to give up on them but persevered for the goal. I have spoken to Damien and ...
