Cessaro once again didn't manage to find electronics that compensate the cold TAD sound, so the Silbaton WE demonstration one or two rooms away was quite a contrast. Without being addicted to that kind of sound and without having too much listening e...

hi alla owner of the Swing of bd-design describes his listening experience with his new speakers at home, i think that deserves attention :http://www.bd-design.nl/forum/forum_entry.php?id=11829he could not be more enthusiastic. i believe him, as i ha...

Regards,This statement is so incendiary I just had to comment.Given what a horn is designed acoustically to do, it only makes sense that it absolutely must be affected by the material used, since all materials have different reflective, absorpti...

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

Here's a pic (link) of my listening position.When I built my large Bill Fitzmaurice bass horn...I had thought about placing it in that space above the speakers, firing into the corner. I may still do that...but the sub is serving duties in the separa...

Very good, thanks for the images. It would be very interning to learn what the bandwidth of the horns, the bandwidth of the drivers and the specificity of crossovers you eventually chose to use with each channel. It might take for you for a while to ...

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...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

My experience is what Romy would call primitive, but I did hear these horns and can only compare them to sound reproduction in general, not other horns. There was a sub as part of the scheme, don't know if it was actually part of the original d...

My minimal distance between front of the upper bass horn and listening position is irrelevant as I set the proximity not according the upperbass but according a vertical shifting of HF image. Under a normal circumstances I might be as liitle as ~7.5”...

Romy,I heard these speakers and I thought they sounded excellent compared to most of the crap at the show. Even better were are pair of original Western Electric 757A two way monitors that were running in the other room. No bass below 50-60HZ, but vo...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everythin...

Andy 1) Actually the most interest was in the fact that I was not asking two questions but one question at the same time as I see both of the questions are inner-related. I was under presumption tha...

Ah, I see, they claim cobalt magnets only for tweeters… this sets everything to be more understandable. Those TADs should be replaced in those speakers in such case – but it would be shame to do it paying $150K for the speakers. In fact for $150K the...

There is a thread about unity horns featuring Tom Danley himself on diyaudio.com.http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/195955-unity-horn-budget-drivers-active-x-over.htmlImpossible that his speakers can be good, as he uses BMS drivers ;)...

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

Maybe you could find the time to visit Living Voice studio and listen to yacht horn speakers with Pinokio nose and report your impressions ? Personally I'd skip all that and go to orchestra halls and listen to some life music. Peter Walker once sa...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

Paul, one of the reasons I went for the Orelo was because it's as close to "plug 'n' play" as I can imagine a speaker system being. So I'm not very knowledgeable about its detailed workings. What I do know is this though...There are 3x 15" bass drive...

For the person who very easy toss comments like “utter nonsense”, BS and “does not make sense” you are very uninformed. If you stop position yourself as an ignorant teenager who “knows everything” then you have chance to learn something. The Car Talk...

I think what I gained from the basshorns were 1. "Speed"or lack of momentum.Specifically deep notes on piano.The sensation of that leftmost keys with the initial impact then followed by the resonance from the instrument as separate entities.I...

It is interesting… complaining about the fact that the “promising to be claver” Cessaro Horn using the TAD drivers (still it is not completely known as they said that that MD driver cost €4000) I asked myself: what else they might use? Really, ...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...
