[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There were some educational for myself observations made, in some way saying something about this specific DHT, in some way saying something about Melquiades’ single stage version and the Melquiades’ full-range two-stages ...

Actually it is very possible that it might be so. I made some rudimental measurements and concluded that RAAL tweeter and JBL midrange mounted in the same baffle has non-perfect time aliment. So, I will need to use gaskets under the drivers to time-a...

But here it is. I made this monoblock fit into less than a square foot. It is tight. I use Hammond iron throughout. Their stuff usually works pretty good for power supplies. I have some photos at my blog. [img]http...

Greg, I see a regions of concerns that you might contemplate.
TAD 1201 might be good driver but how useable would be the 200/300-800/1000 range? Let pretend that you end up with 250Hz, then what next? You will introduce a bottom octave section but t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that begin to roll somewhere around 800Hz. The transformer ha s a lot of core mass and at full Melquiades’ LF power (~20W) it begins to clip ...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"] Line level crossing or passive speaker level crossovers-same devil. [/quote]
If you are planning to build a dedicated LF SET then the line level crossing vs. passive speaker level crossovers is not the same devil. With a...

Thinking about my Vitavox S2 “fundamentals channel” I can’t stop think about my hypostatic view about the horns. Year after year I was mucking what GOTO does when they introduces a horn for a couple octaves. Ironical now I am truing to do the same fo...

This Sakuma’s is kind of BS. What I mean is that it has the appeal to be “good thinking” but only in the realm of marketing hype, something that the editor of “Direct Heating” had created around Sakuma. The reality is that the Sakuma’s TWO channel Am...

Actually, when the string section has to play ultra softly, they use a mute or damper on the bridge. This is a device that limits the ability of the bridge to pass the string vibration to the resonant body of the instrument. http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Yes, if you are at 40Hz first order then you are with regular dedicated LF channel and tone is certainly a subject. The entire definition of ULF channel inkstand or LF channel is that ULF channel has no tonal information. It is very same like use twe...

[quote user="rowuk"]Oleg has a lot of bad press in Germany for unkept promises and defaulting on delivery of product. Just keep an open mind next to the open ear. The best product only serves a purpose if it a) arrives and b) performs.I really like t...

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...

[quote user="anthony"]This is excellent
information Romy. I have been worried about crossing the woofers at 100Hz
and would be much happier if I was able to cross them lower. We will see
how everything integrates into the room and if I do need t...

[quote user="Wojtek"]but I attached a double layer of 3'x5' cement boards (wonder board) under the suspended floor (crawl space) and it seems to help with bass a little. It's a cheap and fairly easy solution ($9 for a board) if you have an acces ...

Thank you Romy, that was very informative and instructive!I don't completely agree that OP is absolutely irrelevant for linearity.It can happen that some regions, under given design constraints, will not give "a proposer harmonic structure of

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][/quote]Ok, here are some thoughts that I have after the last night experiments. The tests were made with Sunfire subwoofer, wiath is bad sounding machine but excellent LF test source. The Sunfire slope wary from 3rd order...

I had today a long listening session. I listened a whole Mahler Second and I can tell you that I was the best upperbass I ever heard from a playback. I am not kidding. The upperbass literally despaired in the new room but what it is being called up...

You will find a very basic motto or life theme here that keeps recurring:Random efforts produce random results!In relation to audio, this means that buying somebody elses best of everything does not lead to a personal superior result.Basically proces...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]One of the emails that I receive is very interesting. The author warns: “...when experimenting with throaths I found that if the compression is big, near 2 or higher you get some big, smooth, unfocused aqualung sound. You...

Thanks, miab
I am encouraged that your guys feel that it is doable. I was cowling in the attic and had very bad feeling. The beams (you call them trusses) are VERY thick and the attic is not a full waking. The house has center AC and my red tr...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

is a difficult task, that of properly integrating horn loaded mid-bass with

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Guy,I absolutely disagree and I think there is a huge difference between lettings your wife to know that skin in her neck remind you sesame chicken and letting a play director know that his new production stinks. Of course we moderate our behavior in...
