[quote user="oxric"] So, yes, in an ideal world, I would have seriously considered doing something different….[/quote] I guess your definition of “doing something different” would imply reading of 534 pages of BS from people who have no idea about ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The S2 has own channel and here is nothing your can do about it. [/quote]Yes, of course. The answer may be different for the S3, inasmuch as one might be able to start the chosen profile at the diaphragm...[quote user="Romy...

I have been using my Ekornes Manhattan chair and generally I am pleased with it. It is a bit not deep enough for the taste of my ass but with footstool it works fine. There is however an aspect in all of it that I do not likeand that I did not think ...

CV,All that you point to is quite correct. My comments were based strictly upon which coil voltage would be a superior sounding electromagnet. The only benefit I can see to a higher voltage is the faster rise time in the voice coil of the induced EM...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

Romy, You make all very good points. I probably shouldn't call the front of the driver a phasing plug, because actually the long wavelengths really don't care much about the shape of the exit, they will just pass right through...

I think a cool direction to go might be to use a naked fibers or soaked cloth, I never tried but I would if I were in driver making business, Rgs, Romy the caT[/quote]Some years ago, when I discovered a Coles tweeter w...

Dear Malinowski,The basic idea for phase plugs is that the sound from all points of the diaphragm should arrive to the throat at the same time. For the midbass horn we only used a simple one slit plug. If you feel up to it you could make a more...

ltsv38, it is an interesting solution for lower midrange horn. If I use something like this for Macondo ‘s fundamental channel (but of cause spherical) then I would flip the horn with driver up and run the neck longer to accommodate a slower, expone...

[quote user="mats"]Good start Dan!The JBL phenolic 2" driver is 2482.I would lower the crossover point as far as you dare, 300Hz or so.Now the 2226 will do what they are pretty good at.Later you will likely want to filter the 2445 around 2k.A 600Hz h...

@Mats -- Thank you! This has already been the best sounding system I have built and designed, but hearing how good it sounds, lets me know how good it can be in the future. Thank you for the info on the JBL 2482. I've considered swapping the diaphrag...

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

[quote user="cv"]Little suggestion should all else fail - you could have a rudimentary phase plug machined that would give you the same (or similar) compression ratio as the original but only one annular exit path. This might preserve the driver char...

I would like to post it into this thread, as somebody who cares about S2 should know what I ended up.
Anyhow, now it is officially: I permanently removed a tweeter from Macondo. The properly voiced S2 driver (with a transparent enough track- h...

The big RCA field coil is the best thing about the Cogent system. It has great "promise", based on what I heard. Although their methods of "developing" this driver seemed confused to me, they do have truly encyclopedic knowledge...

[quote user="twogoodears"] I learned nonetheless to use for my (limited) task (fine tuning my speakers and audio system in my music room) the great IVIE IE-30 R.T.A. and IVIE IE-20 white/pink noise generator [/quote]

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, if the Ultimate MF Compression Driver is used from 1000-1500Hz then why shall it be able to play 500Hz? The answer is: he harmonic reserve – the driver that will be suited for 500Hz will have larger cone and softer sust...

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.

[quote user="Paul S"]Andy, I will say right away that I am not at all set up to "exploit" online music, but this comes across to me as "clean" and "noise free", with some nice spacial effects, basically devoid of harmonics, and not much in...

I do not look for beryllium diaphragms, I just was wondering if someone has succeeded to manufacture them in “basement conditions”. As I understand it shall be VERY difficult.
Well, your driver might be interesting. If I was able to accommodat...

He might be a fraud or it might be that he did found some stock of “different” Vitavox or Mike’s diaphragm. I do not think that there were any standards and the make different production runs, and some of them might be better or worse than other....

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...

Vasyachkin,
I have different view about “modifying products” as any product is always implying something very generic but I have my own needs. Probably not “modifying” but adopting would be better but it is not the subject in here.
If you read my s...

Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude. My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no ...

After thinking about this for a while, I have had a thought that should be relatively easy for anyone motivated to explore and I would be interested to see what others on this forum observe from such experiments.Fundamentally I think the injection ch...
