Another day I was visiting one audio blog that had a large report about a private audio installation and the event around this installation. The installation was celebratory to say at least and the equipment was something that would make any senior a...

Listening my new chairs arrangement for a couple weeks I feel that the chairs position have practically no impact. I did feel that some aspect of imaging will be different. I do think that it is very very slightly different but I would not call it be...

Come on, I do not prohibit you to post, do whatever you want. I just say that with objective to make you playback to play The Deep Purple you won’t find neither understanding what I am saying nor any common sense in audio generally. Yes, if you devel...

Romy,
I value your input so don’t pull out so quickly.. I was expecting your reaction though.
I,m not the 'typical Audio Moron' type, just planning ahead of time because remodeling is involved. Imagine YOU were forced to move into this room with yo...

With is my kids we frequently play a game "what does it mean". It is a situation when they exposed to something new and they try to name it, justified new in a context to what they already know. If we apply the same principle to sound, I experien...

People forget that their floor, subfloor, & other associated structural pieces connected to & part of the listening room will have to EQUAL the standards of the Verdier. Do NOT count on your contractor no matter what he promises you. Sound ...

[quote user="zanon"]I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair.
I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the ro...

It might only appear that it is irrelevant subject. In reality this is the subject of my LONG DREAM… and I have almost realized it.
I spend entire days to redo the Air Conditioner system to accommodate it for my listening room. The house has a...

[quote user="drdna"]Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that ...

Ok, I will share with you some ideas that I have in my head how to deal with horn decay asymmetry. They are in a way the further development of the Haralanov’s idea of acoustic diode – the brilliant concept from my point of view.
Before I will...

[quote user="morricab"]Well Romy, IMO they are not just tonally different they are more tonally correct, ie. they simply have less coloration than other technologies. Just listen to a recording sometime made with a ribbon microphone and you wil...

Sorry for the delayed reply.
Oh yes. 50Hz is possible ; )
Fs of the driver is measured at 32HZ matched for both channels.
As for a smaller driver, the smaller throat, keeping the "same" length for practical reasons wouldn't load it suffi...

[quote user="noviygera"]I got this new midbass horn to replace the Edgar 80Hz straight horn. It is made by Funktion-One and they claim it plays down to 90hz. I could not get it to play below 120Hz and I am trying to figure out why.
15" driver....

[quote user="op.9"]Romy all these seems
acceptable. I hope the little cat Thomas David is doing just fine and you enjoy
growing him. moving always demands a huge amount of CPU process hope that is
done as scheduled. it's a pity you have to abandon...

An amazing event took place during the flip between 2011 and
2012, the New Year nigh. It was my former suburb listening room, the one that
had the midbass horns built into the attic. At that time, I was running playback a lot and
I frequently was...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What are my plans for 2011? I have a few. I am sure that I will be working with fine refinement of Macondo in the new room. I look forward to review the Macondo Fundamental Channel, will it be my new 18-cell or not I do...

Observations and Thoughts from theRocky Mountain Audio FestBy Earl Geddes
First I want to thanks all of the kind people who came by the GedLee room. I hope that we both learned something from these meetings.
The Fest this year had about twice as ma...

So, basically you built a wall on the right side, separating
the listening section from whatever it is behind the wall. A bold move. As the
room become slightly smaller and you lost some time for bass dissipation you might
try to drop the slope at...

On July 4 I had a good listening session for a few hours. Not
frequently I have the luxury like this with 3 small kids. I was thinking critical
about the sound I was getting, even though the playback was deal cold after a 3
weeks not playing. To ...

This weekend a local audio guy was visited me and we had
some listening and some talks about my ne bass. I kind of make him to talk
about is as I was listening with him and noted that it was a very not just nice
but better then I remember if shoul...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

Had a rare event today for a guy with 3 kids under 3. As the
playback is “mystery free” today I spent some time to recalibrate everything
and then spent a spectacular time listening 3-5 movements of M2 with Saito
Orchestra under Ozawa from 2000. I...

Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

Ok, I have been experimenting with placement : Long wall versus short wall. Though the frames have wheels and roll very easily, my room is cursed with an elevated platform smack in the middle of everything (about 14 inches higher than the main floor)...

It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE builds, but of the owner's design...

Lets go into more detail. I'm very new to audiophiling-a year and half-which half of it wasted by Moronizm.
Anyhow a friend of mine(Amir who runs a blog about audio) introduced this site to me, and I saw the "real thing". And I specially am obssesed...
