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...

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...

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...

The weak bass of low-power SET amps is well known. I don't think anyone would disagree.Some reasons:Simple low power, especially with 93db speakers (try with 106db like Yorkville LS1208 horn subwoofer it might be different).SE output transformers hav...

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...

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...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

Ok. I have some very good results to report. I've been stuffing my midrange horn (250hz lecleach with BMS4592nd-midrangeonlyversion) with some 20-hole-per-inch open cell foam. As per Mr. Geddes. Its not coming out. 1. I can now play louder with no sh...

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

[quote user="i_should_coco"]I don't think Steve "bought into" the conical propaganda, more that it is easier for him to make conical horns and get a system up and running. So this is by no means finished. We have discussed him trying some different p...

Good luck getting midrange from F120A for non annoying monitors. Seems reasonable to expect, many people have been very happy with these drivers... I haven't tried this specific driver, but have spent some time trying to get a simila...

E-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y!!! Eventually the new “fundamentals channel” horn sounds as it should being incorporated in my Macondo! The key was the second order. I really never drove compression drivers to their 500Hz as I always used upperbass h...

I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started pushing the horns apart a...

Since no one replied, I thought of narrowing down the problem. I need to make a horn that will cover up to 600Hz. I will guess that it will be 150 to 600Hz. But better yet 90 to 600Hz. Is this posssible. Do I need to make a compression chamber? Do I ...

[quote user="ulf"]One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF.

[quote user="Paul S"]I have begun to see a pattern of diminishing net returns with respect to the smaller SETs, to the point where I wonder if their "potential" can ever be practically realized as Music in Full Glory. Lastly, the choice of an ou...

Hi all
The WE 555 is IMHO an interesting driver, made for a very spesific use,
which is driving a "full-range" horn in the theatre.
As we all know, the wide range system with Jensen 18"woofers and Bostwick tweeter came later, at first the 555 an...

R,Please excuse me if this is straying from the subject... feel free to move.Anyway, I was in NYC until Wednesday evening, and I assume I know what is motivating you to abandon Macondo/Melquiades in the hot summer months... what I don't understand is...

The Vittori does not suffer, neither do their owners. Who needs time alignment anyway?Well that loaded question has a simple answer - only those that really care about things like time alignment "need it". They most likely would not even consider the...

user="xandcg"]I was thinking ESD drivers may have a true advantage
over ALE/GOTO/Others (apparently they actually know how their drivers work) if
that allow to someone design the horn exactly the way he/she want, and later
order the driver...

I have ongoing project going for a while. I guy in Europe built for me 18-cell 183Hz horn for S3 driver. It is not that I am a huge Multicell fan, quite opposite but for sun 1.000Hz channel I think it might work. In addition I wanted to have Exponent...

Moreart, 6,5" and 8" drivers are not big enough even for reproducing midrange, not no mention midbass.You say (quote taken from your website):"By processing certain overtones selectively, a rich bass effect can be created using the small speakers whi...

A correction: the installation above is not Reinhard’s but by Klaus Speth. Klaus and Reinhard experiment with audio together and Reinhard has his own Goto setup. Here is more information about Klaus’ system with Reinhard’s comments:

Jessie,
I was trying to evaluate the gain of my amplification in respect to larger room and again was thinking about your case. I think something that you do it not correct. You are complaining that you have not enough gain in upperbass, but I...

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...
