[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] And Ok, maybe I don't have all the filters dialed in, and the DPOLS are like a dream to me now….[/quote]
And with 1600 pound per channel you might forget about the DPOLS … -:)

Well a scepter or a baton... Last night before setting up the RTA, I listened to a recording of orchestral works from Strauss (Kempe conducting)... It was early enough that I could "air out the system" a bit. And Ok, maybe I don't have all ...

Believe me or not but since last spring when I undertook the single-amp conversion and went for the six-channel Super Melquiades my playback never sounded as I would like it to. It was better or worst but it was never how I meant. The last week the t...

...disconects you from outside world and music plays "inside" you. The first impression is redundancy of Soundstage or even imaging as you become one with music. Then you don't care about any problems your playback system may have, like resulotion, t...

Amir, what you have written is not a philosophy, it is not a path that guides decisions, not a document what gives others insight into what music does to you and why. I have been following your posting, and to be honest, it sounds more like an audio...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...

I have so many great original ideas about the new listing room that it truly itching to make my heads duty with this project. I probably shall not run my mouth until I close the house but it is so tempting to think about it!This thered about the ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can’t predict what sound will I get with hardwood floors and how it will be different from think wall-to-wall carpet that I have now. Currently I have architect wood joists 30 feet long running at the bottom of the floor....

An amazing event took place during the flip between 2011 and
2012, the New Year nigh. It was my former suburb listening room, the one that
had the midbass horns built into the attic. At that time, I was running playback a lot and
I frequently was...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

Thank you Gentlemen, "I would offer some of my commentary of the subject. The very first thing you need to find out if your audio anti-Brucknerism has natural or audio nature."Of course any input you can offer will be gladly considered. Yes, of ...

Here's what I would do.In general :Start by excluding the DPoLs, excluding the electronics and associated gear, and considering just the room. With no electronics functioning, is the room an acoustically pleasant space ? Invite friends over and ...

OK, the new Macondo frame is over as well. Eventually after 6 years of learning how to make the damn horn speaker to sound good, after numerous incremental successes and failures, stupidity and brightness, moves to wrong direction and mistaken assess...

Actually I did have it is past. At that time I used a low-pass filer on my upperbass horn. It was 103dB sensitive driver of 16Ohm, highly inductive, and I needed somewhere hear 800Hz, speaker level, the first order. Being an extremist I got 3mH coil ...

Thank You
I'll experiment with the PSU a little. The transformes have only 1 Ohm DCR
and total supply impedance for a channel would be ~ 45 Ohm (with two chokes in series) Imput choke looks like can take 1 A current!All Iron is mil quality and p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

[quote user="drdna"]I was really shocked when I saw this idea of yours. It is a trade off of course with improved control over narrower frequncy bands being traded for axial symmetry. Yet because the position of the drivers is so very imp...

Another very interesting observation that I discover today. Paul have mentioned about the improvement of bass. It was not a secret but what a secret, as least for me the TYPE of the bass changing projected to the precession of HF dialing.
OK, ...

Hi
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jan, I disagree. Obviously …. in order to listen music there is no needs for a good playback at all.[/quote]
I agree.
I think I might have misunderstood what you were saying.
I'll go back and read the DPoLS-t...

Interesting that you post illustrates perfectly the notion of multi-amping advantage. A few years bask when I still was going to all those hi-fi show I proposed a notion that a room that has 50-500Hz properly dialed to a given room has with all ...

[quote user="drdna"] I agree it is a mistake to get hung up on imaging as an end in itself, but it is a artifact of the process, and I am not going to say it is not related to making the correct connection. To have proper imaging is like saying: ther...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy, take a look at EML 30A and its cousins:

Yep, thanks, JJ. Still the EML 30A has a lot of gain but it has also very high plate impedance as well. As much gain w...

[quote user="coops"]I would never presume to make such a claim, regarding active bass,I have heard quite a few systems now where the ( active )bass is very disjointed, Avantgardes for example, and the music just does not flow, but I will discuss your...

Yesterday I retune and recalibrated the whole Macondo and Milqs, tubes, drives, horns, angles, timing… everything. The snapshot or fully calibrated Macondo that I made in the page 14 of this thread was phenomenal help. I think everyone who runs m...

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an extended listening session with the Living Voice Vox Olympian outside of a show environment. Since said listening session took place upon a boat – moreover, a wooden-bodied boat – under what can only be sai...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

There is a very minor percentage of what David is telling that
I am not exactly agree. Mostly it has to do with some simplifications and shortcuts
David took, avoiding the phenomena of judgment maturation and the degree of precision
with which the...

There were had few days. First it was complete distraction of my listening room, than the contractors put the new hardwood floor together and then the complete rebuilding of the listening room, back to the sate it was before. Well sort of…
