Hello,A couple of things to correct here - the horn flare is not conical even though the exterior surface gives that impression.Also I don't believe Jeffrey has any affiliation with weiss or other industry types at all - in fact, from what I've seen ...

[quote user="angeloitacare"]hi Pauli had already Altec horns, and comparing them to wood horns, they really sound poor. What i really doubtis if someone is able to hear the difference between high gloss finish/ high porosity surface of horns.I ...

At recent Nord-West trade show Jeffrey Jackson, the guy who runs Experience Music site, demonstrated his new horn Installation. I know little about it and would like to make some comments about what is feel is obvious from the image.

Actually my wish for DSETinisation of Gammas has nothing to do neither money nor with Sound, really. The Audio-Morons™ buy and sell audio, and particularly those who are in the $200.000 bracket not because some specific sonic accomplishments or utili...

I have been working on curves for tractrix horns based on data generated by HornCalc software. I configured the software to give values corresponding to radial sections for every 10mm of axial length of a horn nearly 1 meter long. When I plot the cur...

I would contend that most of the microphonics and feedback in valves is usually caused by the resonances and vibrations of whatever they are plugged into. Glass is very rigid which is only enforced by the shape into which it is mol...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What are the pads you are applying, ie what material?[/quote]

Sorry, I do not share your sentiments with those 3 reasons. Below are my reasons.
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Three reasons:
1) To try high passing your upper-MF channel (S2 > 400Hz horn) above the 1250Hz secondary resonance assiciated ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, you are right. Power – you have almost unlimited power. Dynamics – you have as much dynamics as you want. But there are a lot of associated problems with that kind of dynamics. The following illustration is taken by ...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

Well, whatever you do with your loudspeakers of with you whole playback system is kind of irrelevant if your drivers are not right. In my view the drivers are the very much heart of playback but in case of High-Efficiency and particularly horn-loaded...

As I said above your you "experienced today with GOTO" is just your transitional

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...
