Hi drdna, Three things that I have found that can seriously damage the performance of our horn system is: Speaker location, heavy gage or multi stranded speaker wire, and room reflections. When you locate the speakers, m...

It is kind of strange – there is absolutely nothing to write at my site. I use playback dally, have a lot of new and old interesting music but I tend to write about it at other sites. From audio perspectives I have absolutely nothing what is doing on...

It is 75F in Boston, unseasonably warm. I got home today and it is 68F in my listening room and 75F outside, it is sign that spring came and you know what Cats do in march – you are right - getting horny on open air Bruckner listening. So that what ...

This concept of having a new listening room not contaminated with playback elements is very interesting. I did not have “living room” with no playback for… many-many years, so I am kind of not accustomed to it. I do not think that I wanted to have li...

A few days back Kitty had a farewell parry in her old hospital and she was given a bunch of party balloons. They were sitting udder at the cathedral ceiling of our listening room, with long 9 feel belts/ropes handing from the balloons, waiting time t...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Hi Keith and congratulations for your new babies... I'm truly jealous of your room size.
Me too, as I previously wrote, assembled a VERY similar rig, vastly inferior to you welded supports, any, using the same approach: S-1...

I am keep listening my just two channels: MF + upperbass. They sound good and I know this sound VERY well but there is one phenomena that I can’t explained/ in the old room my upperbass went to 95Hz-100Hz. In this new room it doe 140Hz BUT subjec...

Hi Romy ,well I appreciate the reply anyway! I have been reading your many threads and yes some on the Lowther designs but as you know your writings are a large large volume also and I havent made my way thru them all yet. As far as my room I could b...

Last two weeks I play a strange game with myself while I am waking in my room. I walk soft like a Cat and really pay attention where I lend my leads, I afraid to step on anything. Nope, I did not pawn my Cat and got a hamster. What I afraid to step o...

Romy, I do agree with all your comments. It is true that the magnitude of the rubber taste very much depends on the crossover frequency. I used them below 64Hz, but with first order filter, implemented before the amp that drives them. With that kind ...

[quote user="kodomo"]Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing...

I was rushing when I made the last post. Wanted to share a little more about my thought process and how I arrived at doing another large-scale masochistic audio project. Making a bass horn is a huge risk - the results can vary from exceeding expect...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my d...

It took for a while for me to clear up the new listening
room. With all ongoing life projects just yesterday I clear up the new
listening room from all boxes and was able to put the playback and the records
together. I did not put anything in the ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] This week on Thursday and Friday I had two “audio visitors” in my listening room. We did some listening and as it have become customary: they asked me to show something “interesting” or different in my Opera Room. BTW,...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs a...

[quote user="anthony"] Personally, I would prefer to have the equipment
rack somewhere else in the room but that is just me. [/quote]The subject of equipment rack to be in or out is
well debated by be in past. Unquestionably from sonic perspective ...

[quote user="Stitch"]The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.
One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to...

The lower bass configuration in my room is a bit interesting below is the bass diagram (under 50Hz)
As you can see the allocation of hot bass sports is superbly favorable in the room. There is pretty much no bass anywhere in the ...

I except suggestions and critique. I live in Turkey and I am not living in a city, I live at the coast. It is not possible for me to go and experience most of the stuff first hand. There is no one really interested in horns or have multi-way horn sys...

[quote user="drdna"] I agree it is a mistake to get hung up on imaging as an end in itself, but it is a artifact of the process, and I am not going to say it is not related to making the correct connection. To have proper imaging is like saying: ther...

For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to accomplish. I want to reinstat...

[quote user="jp"] Ive only had experience with one room for any length of time but I can identify with the experiences of LBJ and Romy. I could not bear to listen to Bruckner when my system was somewhat out of sorts while conducting experiments ...

Somebody in this there warned me that the fiberglass pipe wall finishing that I employed on the wall with my midbass horn, behind my listening location might be environmentally not healthy. I have very high sensitivity to fiberglass and one singl...

I keep discovering that Melquiades possesses a lot of things that I have absolutely no explanations. It almost sounds like a Bermuda Triangle of audio amplification!
For instance today I discovered a totally strange thing: Melquiades does not care ...

My Placete preamp was sitting in Idaho for update for a
long time, so there was not a lot of audio activity lately. Also, the last few
month there was a lot of things going on in my life that severely compromised my
audio rotation. It is summer an...
