Mani at al. I have a paid of zu druids. Running them with 15W amp (d-class) and it is not enough for high level, although it does better than you expect. The soundstage sensitivity measurement was 97dB, but their test did not load the driver correctl...

Mats,
Actually I do not exactly understand what you are trying to accomplish. The Altec midrange after 4uF will roll at 3.5kHz-5.0kHz, depending of the type of coil you use. If you cut the MF channel so high then I would ask why you do so and why yo...

would be finding midbass and midrange drivers with a similar character which allowed a good integration between them. Once I knew the drivers I might desing the horn (glubs, not so easy) and ask a skilled professional to build it for me, not impossib...

I am not laughing. Just the other day I had the upper bass a little extra prominent, and midrange was gently tapering off into the highs. Some would say it was rolled off and flat, but when I played two Mahler 1's and the 9th, I enjoyed him like ne...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

No, i really did mean a 4592nd midrange - it is a OEM version that I think I bought from assistance audio. There are various reasons I'm crossing over at 3k (more like 2500hz now) - first, the horns are 250hz and therefore too deep for high treble wi...

In this case something like 5khz to 15khz -- only for the tweeter and only for DELAY. However, if the cellular midrange horns have smooth coverage above 5khz, all the better. But I have no experience with them - maybe they sound good to 8khz....Of co...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

As the builder behind these horns, I can answer some of your questions. It's true, I was primarily focused on the woodworking/building side, and now I'm experimenting with amplification and crossovers. I can't speak authoritatively on those subjects...

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...

Hi Romy,I agree its a relief to hear finally someone describing something. Because all the mysterious dust around it makes one really curious :) And you cant hear them anywhere.So i got really "tensioned". Finally... and id like to share about it. As...

Hi Romy,
Again, good words (don't want to kiss your ass ;) ). Though, I get your point and agree, one should not think that this winter picture means Goto sound cold (u never know what one could read out of it) .
What Klaus also highlighted, is...

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...to hear it from a person who advocates a single driver approach :-)[/quote]
Hahhaha, if
you call the combination of 4x23” + 4x15” + 12”+ 8” +2” a single driver
approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

[quote user="tuga"]If you have a midrange driver you can try that for yourself.[/quote]In this case the lack of "full-range" audio is so glaring it overwhelms any advantage of the point source, I think.

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

It hard at this point to sat anything defiantly about the Super Melquiades sound. Positively to derive the speakers directly from amp with no speaker-level crossover does provide multiple and multiple benefits. So, Even if to subtract all other “diff...

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 am sorry I do not want to pollute the PP2000 thread with battery options.Right now I am in the process of testing a lot of different comercial amps to see what I will stay with, or which route I will be taking with my system in the near future for ...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[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...

Part of setting up a system is listening to both channels independently, they measure the same and sound the same, but individually with a lower volume and punch, and of course no stereo effect." the audio window should get larger and larger, unti...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

Anyone who have ears and a rudimental mind to understand what ears register, and anyone among them who played with MF channels driven by SET, know that subject of SET loading is imperative.
