fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...

[quote user="el`Ol"]A $$$ solution for a bass array that comes into my mind are the sandwich cone drivers from Accuton.Monstrous neodymium magnet, underhung voice coil (for low flux modulation).Very low Fs.Relatively low QMS for use in sealed enclosu...

I am glad that you mention your use of 120A. I never heard it (consciously) and I bought it juts due to advice of 3 people, one of them was the guy who sold them. I have no idea what to expect from them but I think they shall not be too bad. I asked ...

Unicon, the RESONANCE that you deal while you tightening to loosening screws does not deals with TIME . Perhaps it is the semantics that you feel comfortable but still I would live mass resonance to mass domain and would not confuse it.
The e...

[quote user="Rewind"] I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression driver...

"another big selling
point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver..
there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz
range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already
quite taken by it.....

[quote user="be"]I know they knew a lot in those days and could have dealt with the nonlinearity of air if they wished to or if there attention was drawn to it. [/quote]
Actually, you are right. The problem during those days was not with shortage of...

Your response indicates some presumption to me, as much as mine indicated to you. In my experience it is practically NEVER only ONE issue involved -- B U T, one would in my experience try to isolate where the most immediate benefit might be f...

Perhaps to bring some perspective: As Romy obviously suspects, the stock drivers I have been experimenting with are in the low-mid 90s, in terms of efficiency, although alterations include raising efficiency - somewhat. And yes, this introduces its ...

Well my intent in the first place was only to discuss and learn about the small details of what makes the S2 and the 288 different mechanically not to discuss system building but it seems you feel I am a little premature to discuss this as you inquir...

Murat, that's a lot to ask from one driver. I thought that any time the "un-aided" driver craps out or acts weird, it's time to think about a crossover, and/or some sort of "assistance" for that driver. The great thing about horns is, they can passiv...

hi. That’s a nice topic. I studied the VO like a maniac. For me there are 3 topics. First was obvious, easy, the horns. The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flav...

[quote user="skushino"]Guys, my attention has been elsewhere the past couple of weeks. The catalyst for the original post was to go beyond the usual "speakers in a room" approach, and use the room itself as an integral part of the sound. IB seemed ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi romy, thanks for info. I am going to stick with the 2-stage plan then as it will not be DSET but full range and my mid-bass is somewhat barbaric at this point. I have found someone to build for me, though we ha...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS...

de Charlus, I still do not think that there is such a thing as “ the only a theoretical starting point”. Perhaps you were inspired by Jeffrey’s recommendation that has more experience in it then you. Still, the compression drivers loaded into giv...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

[quote user="Wojtek"]This is probably the reason I can listen to EV Patrician IV in relatively small space and close to the speaker without much of fatigue. The other factor must be that it's 4- way design with narrow band-pass for each horn. E...

op.9,
to put your comment I perspective it is necessary to know what surface you had on your Lecleach horns before. If you search the site (use world textured or structured) then you would know that I am a vocal opponent of smooth surfaces on horns....

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
The reason I ask is because no one talk a...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

[quote user="op.9"]Yes, I agree they are different issues. However, quite a big however too...It all depends on where we believe 'reproduction' starts. We are very rarely simply reproducing the feed form one single microphone. Choices are made very e...

[quote user="KS"]Thats the kind of stuff I was hoping for. I appreciate the help with this, there seems to be a scarcity of horn related discussion on the web and its proving hard to learn the ropes.One other unrelated question that could save me a l...

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...

Scott from the miserable Afghanistan was strategizing about his new 5-wsy installation and sketched to us Faital drivers. I knew nothing about the company, looked them up and find that the do some compression drivers with Ketone diaphragms.

Lately the Vitavox electromagnet project looks like moved to a fruitful direction. Well, I do not know if the direction would be a real fertile but it will be going somewhere instead of talking… that is always fruitful. I have quite good support form...
