Man would I love to visit the MIT fleamarket... only a few thou miles away alas.Well, I'm not advocating A2 in any way. The 13E1 will happily run at lower anode voltages but you won't get enough A1 power out, which is a shame cos you'll need a new po...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Your ears ( or some other hearing/sensing mechanism in your body ) "feels" large objects around you, and I think they will definitely "hear" relatively large upperbass horns mounted in the ceiling, even if no music is playing...

[quote user="anthony"]I plan to
build a fullrange Melquiades for a friend and then if that works out the DSET 6
or 7 channel version for myself. [/quote]
That is very good approach in my view. The
problem is in this approach that you have t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is pretty much the idea that I had – a very tall line array with min footprint and with more of less corrected timing error by angling the front baffle. At the picture below the curvature of positioning of Macondo chan...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, it would be interesting to test whether it is really that impossible to get into the near field at 30 Hz as Griffin's simple formula in the line array white paper implies. I am thinking about laying the arrays on the ground,...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

I hope you do find some amplification that works, or new "way" of using the tannoy, as these driver still have several tricks up their sleeves, especially when compared to the hordes of mass crap that's for sale. What you refer to as the "deen ...

[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...

I was hoping it was something to do with building Tapped Horns for the low bass. Maybe because I thought Romy wrote somewhere (can't find it) that the line-array bass units were the "weakest" part of the speaker system. I keep thinkin...

We now call those modeling lamps in our big stobes. I think that the analogy is even better considering your intentions.I personally feel strongly that high sensitivity is the correct path and that small ported woofers in a MTM box will fall short of...

user="kodomo"] Now, I am very happy down to 20hz. Do not get me
wrong, it was sounding fine and was blending well. Now, I have spacious sound
at the bass frequincies too and the sounds start and stop and die in the room
more naturally. Ove...

Ronnie,
Arranging the driver in a line array is a fierily straight forward thing. Also be advised that the arrays will less likely work across a short wall, and you need to use a long wall. Generally it is imposable to advise anything as any rooms a...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

One other nice thing about floor or ceiling-mounting the lower-bass horns is that you wouldn't need such a huge living room; the space would be easier to load (sonically), and you'd have a much easier time finding an appropriate house. Romy wrote :"....

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...

This weekend I was walking in my new listening room and did
some thinking how to organize everything. Unquestionably my first step would be
convers Milq LF section (bass line-array) from Midas accommodation to drive my woofer
tower, in a way how I...

[quote user="CO"]But Romy, you also have the different channels in a curved array ? Whats the difference I know your's are time aligned but the Utopias must be as well.[/quote]
Collin, you are correct the Macondo and Utopia implement the same curved...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

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...

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...

I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...

It is my understanding that the only reason to make a ribbon bigger is to get it to go lower in frequency. I don't know how Arum Cantus configures their G1, and I have not heard it so I cannot say if it is their "best" pure HF driver rather tha...

[quote user="decoud"] One of the problems with horns is the inflexibility of frequency cut-off: you are limited to a discrete number equal to the number of horns you have. This makes experimentation difficult without having an absurdly large array of...
|
|
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...

There is a new company out there that makes horn-loaded acoustic system. I know a guy who is involved, I presume he is the owner or one of the owners, but I know very little about the design and the sound of the Sadurni Acoustics. So, let see wha...

Hi Murat,Personally, I would re-think the tapped horns being physically incorporated with the rest of the system. To start, from what I understand (I don't use a tapped horn) because they use both the front and the rear of the driver for sound, they...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...
