well fine, my X350.5 does 50 watt class A, and of course in push-pull. I use it with 120 watt max rated 3 way speakers of about 87 dB efficiency. You can see on the 350.5's centre instrument dial if you go out of class A. If I go out, I usually fear...

[quote user="manisandher"]Hi Dima,Do you know if this is similar to the approach Tim de Paravicini took in his direct-coupled amp placed inside a Quad? I'm currently using Quad speakers (I gave up on the horn approach through sheer frustration) and i...

Hello, Angelo
[quote user="angeloitacare"]The best sound i remember, and never forgot, was at Holger Frommes Home, from Avantgarde Acoustic, the trios. I never heard something better. [/quote]
Yes, Avantgarde can do it if the situation is right. I ...

Thanks, Jeff. Another reader also e-mailed to me the name of the horn (Tineo Horn), and I used it to find this "shopping" link:

I read the review of the Magico Ultimate and I have to say I was disgusted. I am sure there are many self-proclaimed audiophiles who took the TAS trembling into their bathrooms like teenage boys with the newest issue of Playboy to drool over th...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. T...

Hello Romy and everyone, I am going to order a pair of 400Hz/1" tractrix horns from http://www.stereo-lab.de/tractrix.html to replace/compare with a pair of 500Hz TAD-like square mouth horns. These are to be used initially with the drivers that ...

The previous response I posted, 'Partial Disclosure For The Sake Of Clarity', assumes you are referring to the second prototype of my proposed design. (The base design is the same, with the exception that it uses one driver instead of two.)[quo...

Romy,you did not disappoint my expectation in your reply. Who can argue with the take: "bugger off and do some home-work"? On the other hand, when looking through that "Knowledge tree TM" it's more of a "forest" as far as horns are concerned. So it's...

Thanks The CatI'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.I as...

how the Western Electric L-9 was made but I think it is not sealed

Is speakers like altec 19 have time aligned drivers? I think I have never seen in internet time aligned 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass.Slowly I am closer to finish my first speakers with horns, the frame is adjustable (35-45cm drive...

Hi jd*thank you for caring, and encouraging me to wade through all of this horn info. I'm 63 by now, not sure if I'll ever get out of there alive before I'm done though...Romy posted some picture about a commercial horn (Western Electric WE15) th...

This is a good example of a CNC horn. This is the Carfrae I was talking about. MDF Upperbass horns are made in sort of the same way, but you do have to cut the angles on the Lathe. (or leave the steps like a The thing is it is not really tridimensi...

symbiotic diaphragms were never used in the 19's. this may be part of the "bad sound" that this guy was experiencing.they used the 802-8g driver with ultra light epoxy and aluminum diaphragm that allowed hf response up to 22,000 cycles when pairedwi...

"Best bass" is of course a matter of opinion based on experience and expectations. The (original) Hartsfield LF driver is certainly "designed for horn loading", like the Vitavox AK-151, whereas the AK-150 and the JBL D-130 are designed to be direct r...

I mean, even if I was extremely rich, there's sort of a "point" of return or guilt or something, like worrying perhaps TOO much on other aspects to compliment them. I wouldn't buy Cessaros even if I was rich...for some reasons. I'm not...

[quote user="vuki"]Hi,Mr. Hiraga said (and it's also in the promo-flyer) that he uses modified GreatPlainsAudio coaxial, although the one in the speakers that were playing music looked more like original Altec 604 (because of the multicell horn). So,...

I have read Romys post about the fine hairs and such but do not necessarily agree with the interpretation here. Romy always has a specific UseCase and makes very clear what he is after. He has often mentioned his search for interesting sound and even...
