Doesnt sound like a problem where you have to make any drastic changes. Using horns for some time, what is apparent in my system is that it requires quite precise placement especially if you are demanding and have experienced things that few people ...

Romy, you might want to re-think 2 guys and pneumatic casters under a bare frame dolly for a 950 lb. unit. If you insist on doing it this way, I hope you will make and post a video of the event. I'd at least consider solid, rated casters, espec...

I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.
In addition to...

Well, wouldn't you know that my wife is an artist, too. Although she hasn't been very productive for the past couple of years, she is totally over-the-top manic when she does work, and we have the usual artist's home, with tons of art...

I used to follow Michael Green's previous forum at Tuneland, and have tried some of his products and techniques, though not his full "program" by a long shot. His stuff does affect sound, whether for better or worse depending on the user's efforts an...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The sound during bad electricity days is all about noise, all imaginable noise; it is like fog, dull everything into some kind of universal grayness. The colors are dirty, the upper mid and HF are literary dirty, the HF ar...

Thanks for all the comments. Seems like everyone is pretty much agreed that curves improve things but large radius curves are better than small. We have made curved panels with a radius from 4 inches to 35 feet. I attached a pic of one of our more...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The only thing that I do not have is some kind of stand alone, mid room HF eater that I would like to place between speakers and the back wall’s windows, something like tube traps or the similar. I do not like the tube trap...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than...

It was an interesting event today. I have a big air compressor home that got broken, so I borrowed a portable electric compressor from my neighbor. I plug it in outside the house and blew up the irrigation system, preparing it for winter. Then I bro...

N-set, you may remember that from the beginning I encouraged you to try a wall mount, for all the reasons you have just cited, and this approach seems even more obvious if the walls are concrete/masonry vs. floor joists and sheet subflooring, not to ...

Romy, is there any way you can re-arrange tor re-configure the speakers in order to accommodate the stacked 15" drivers, or are you determined to push your speakers against the wall where they are now? I ask because I have heard stacked 15" drivers ...

Listening to the horns, it seems that they indeed die somewhere below 120Hz. I was surprised, and a little disappointed that it seemed so steep. Good to hear that it's to be expected!!Yes, I'm using a 30-something-Hz 1st order high pass on them ...

Regardless of where you get them made, I would opt for free-standing horns mounted on wheels, as this allows the most flexibility in integrating them with your as-yet-unknown space (for example, you could build such horns into a wall, mount them in t...

Here are a couple of shots of how the inner surface of the new rectangular mid-bass horn will look (shown with driver; an AK151). This model is based on a calculation for an exponential horn.These images do not show wall...

i will upload a pic.i have no problem with an additional channel!1.)i dont have to build it right now, the 60hz-horn with the s2 mf and 2405 hf will sound quite nice(at least i hope so;-) and i have something to build on.2.)i prefer to do things by m...

Were the quotes above no enough for anyone who is familiar with the subject?Rgs,Romy[/quote] Absolutely inadequate for desiphering the subjective sound quality yes - all we can deduce is that the system has a maximum s...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

I've been thinking abut this question form several angles. Firstly practical.I thought I'd better see what low bass sounds like. And to get some idea of placement possibilities. So I set up my LS3/5as in the (rather cold) un-converted barn. Couldn't ...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

Romy,Regarding your first illustration:Some time ago I intentionally made two different boxes for my ScanSpeak drivers to see what will happen, because I do not believe in theories and trust only to my ears. The boxes had exactly the same internal vo...

Hi Romy:No need to reach for your medical glossary. The medical condition that I call 'Imponderabilis Neurosis,' is only the preserve of highly disturbed individuals such as myself (Hamlet seems to have exhibited symptons which are highly indicative ...

[quote user="noviygera"] Question, Romy:Why do you suggest to add the extension on the back, not the front, as B. Edgar suggested. He specifically commented that the MOUTH area is too small and said the throat size was OK?[/quote] Herman, the mouth a...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...
