[quote user="kodomo"]I don't think you can align the tapped horn. My tapped horn has a total length around 5 metres. To time align that with my other drivers, its got to be around 5 metres closer than others. The only other solution is delaying the r...

Dominik, in terms of technology advancement, it seems their new driver is better than their other models. But despite this, I’m not sure their transducer engineer knows how to make the drivers to be valuable in terms of sound/tone. I’m saying that n...

Nah, not really I think I understood what you meant by real estate I just meant that I did not have large rooms, therefore not much space.I like your vertical array of horns and the line arrayed LF section. That doesn't take too much space. My pro...

Alas, no time for anything at the moment, the listening valuation must await construction of the amps (and speakers...)Also, it is a very custom application - it is designed to drive an array of ribbon tweeters. Normally these have matching transform...

|
We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I might replace the current 72” w...

[quote user="be"] Instead of defining the ULF range from the reproduced instruments, it is much smarter to do it based on the first resonance frequency of the listening room, because the frequency response of a closed room has a 12dB/oct rise in ...

James, you said that “Romy seems sure that Line arrays will only work properly when used on the long dimension of the room”, still you do not defined what it “only work properly”. Wherever you put the woofers they will work – the question would...

Yes, Jessie, but in case you decide to go for DSET, would it be multi-channel Melquiades or anything else, then your consideration for type and topology of the lower bass would greatly dictate requirements for your DSET. If your lower bass channels r...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

[quote user="oxric"] If the issue is merely to recreate a better sense of the live performance….[/quote]It might be not “recreate a better sense of the live performance” but rather to be able to administer in my own and deliberate way some “listening...

That's one big tweeter, Romy, and, typically, it was made that big only because they intended for it to go low. I keep wondering about the effects of the extra mass, if nothing else, but also about dispersion and window blind effects ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Rakesh, during the last year, there were some very important moments in my own realizations about the methods of low frequency reproduction. I totally abandoned my Scanspeak bass modules and now they are resting in my gar...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

With the project of the 6-chennal Super Melquiades is about to hit its final stage I might to review my summarizing observations. The 6-chennals Macondo is driven by 6-chennals dedicated DSET Melquiades, that looks like properly orgies for the job. T...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

This is kind of funny. I got another B2 amp a few days back. It was near new condition, at least inside. As I plug it to drive my ULF I felt that it produces some kind of strange bass. I did not like it at all and it was very different then what ...

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.
It is 5-ways ...

Sine I informed public about Melquiades amplifiers I receive many emails from people asking me about the operation points of 6C33C. For whatever reasons people mistakably took me for some kind of 6C33C guru, which is am not. Moreover I could be hardl...

Understanding Line Array SystemsBy John Murray
Behind the buzz, there are a lot of factors at work in line arrays. An explanation and comparison of current models. This discussion can’t be contained in just a few paragraphs, so we must start with th...

I do not know a lot about it but from what I can judge from picture it is the same as the Gamma loudspeaker with the f...

I was pointed out to the fact the Magico has a new idea of their 5 way horn-loaded speaker. I did review the Magico former 4-way project, it was very bad:

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

I do not know what the Fs of the drivers that will be using. I did not measure them yet. I have one of them in ¼ cub feet box with a port making 65Hz and two of them in 1/2 cub feet box making 38Hz. If I found more of the them then will be unit...

[quote user="Jorge"] I have never found the law of diminishing returns to apply to audio! Going crazy always sounds better… [/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For a lot of reasons, I'd vote for an alternate placement. You've got that basement, so why not use it as a rear chamber? You might be able to use the volume "as is", without building a proper rear chamber. In this ca...

There were plenty it of them made: Techniques 9500, Excusive 2301, Iwatas, JBL 2350 and JBL 2345, Vitavox (narrow) and few others … They kind of very strange horns and I always was suspicions about them. Though my suspicions are purely theoretical: a...
