Romy,I know you are against a dedicated listening room but if you were to consider occupying the basement you could try an organic [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_Tower]Erich Mendelsohn-like[/url] design that would incorporate the midbass ...

The mean KOTriode in his thread “A different breed of 6C33C amplifier“ jinxed me with his 6C33C vulnerability and today my output tube at right midbass channel went down. The characteristic pings, which via the midbass horn sound like house room is c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I ...

Since my left channel along with midbass horn is more or less configured I made today a first rest of the full assembly - with LF section. The midbass does somewhere hear 40Hz and I set the LF section for 34Hz, drove it from B2 via the SMS crossover....

From the time of the insertion and setting the proper crossover my midbass is growing and growing, getting larger, deeper and better in all aspects. I am not kidding and now, when I have no ULF channels operational, it is very obvious. I can’t explai...

[quote user="Wojtek"]You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be...

I find an interring house that I like. Ironically it is very much not what I was looking audio-wise. It has a lot of real-estate lucidness and I feel it has a lot of very interesting audio opportunities. The listening room is small, 2 times small...

[quote user="tuga"] I am curious as to how you'll "integrate" the 63Hz mode into your acoustic system but I can see it possible without any "room treatment". [/quote] Ric, what I need to know how my dedicated midbass section will be decaying. There i...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...

Murat,
I was looking at your midbass horn design and I am wondering, how are you planning to time align that long midbass with the rest of the channels that seem to be time aligned. I mean, currently the midbass is physically 4.3m behind all o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

[quote user="noviygera"]1. Let's say
the my original back chamber from the manufacturer is a good "starting
point". Is Romy saying that those last few hertz of the fine tuning of the
chamber volume are very important and audible, in other words th...

Anthony, it is a bit complicated subject. If you ever visit me and look at my attic you will be literally laughing. It is always initially designed with an idea to load there all possible outer installations. Pretend a good size listening r...

If there is one thing that I have learned in life, and heard many times, is that making a mistake is not a bad thing if you learn from it. In addition the lesson learned is just as valuable if you learned it from someone elses...

The short horns like with the Altec are horns, but being too short and generally with a truncated mouth, they do not eq very much in the “midbass”, rather an octave or two higher. In that case, you might as well use direct radiators. The reason for a...

When you get a horn that will work i will trade for a couple weeks!I don't think wide band drivers are the ideal way to do things but the most cost effective way to injoy good sound i would like to make another pair to crossover from 3k to 10k.some...

Having just returned from this show, I have a few comments on your comments... 1) Yes, it was the amp you posted the link to. 2) Yes, the tweeter and two MF channel drivers were GOTO 3) Your estimates on flare rates aren't too far off (don't kn...

If we are taking about multi-way horn-loaded acoustic system then in my view is it very important to plan the development in a specific order. Any deviations from the order are perfectly fine but they will affect cost/time/efforts of the project. Thi...

[quote user="Rewind"]Macman: Maybe your tapped horns were too small. Speedysteve is absolutely in love with his, and you and him have a very similar setup with your 15" upper midbass horn and all.[/quote]Yes, Im sure you could make them better. I bel...

Great conductor but you never know what you get from him. I was listening tonight the FM recording from SymphonyShare of Dorati with CSO doing Mahler 6. Chicago Symphony play not well but whole together it is strangely powerful performance. As the pe...

because floor josts support and extend the walls (they are solid 2"x6")so just screwed the board tightly to them. Because I needed the boards only within 10' so I have 3 rows of 5' +5' with the seam in the middle. I cut the second layer of bards so ...

[quote user="noviygera"] Romy, I have somewhat
different possibilities than you are seeing. My system is physically higher
than most because my listening position is at standing height or sitting in a
high stool. I have used this litening height f...

Do you have the speakers as pictured already in place, or at least in the form your beautiful rendering shows? I would recommend to try a mock up of this layout in your room and not proceed with the full custom build. For example, I don't think the a...

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...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I might be totally wrong, but I just assumed that Vitavox's decision to specify a lower impedence voice coil for horn-loaded applications was related the additional load placed on the driver once mated to a horn, resu...

Jessie, looks nice. I never did it myself and can not appreciate the labor went into it. Horn-wise everything looks well- thought out. I personally would probably go for a monopod frame above the midbass horn (mergeing it in middle) as I feel it make...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Most users use it for 200Hz down to 10 Hz above the horn cutoff frequency.[/quote]
Ming, I do not think you are “getting” what I am trying to say. OK, let to make bold statements: the people who use the 24Hz SG146LD4 drive...

Hi, Martin,
As I understand you are the AU guy who makes horns? I heard a lot about you, very welcome, it would be very interesting to hear your experienced…
I agree with you: what I say on the subject to be entirely true. :-) However, talking abou...
