Hi Josh! That was basically my idea too. Although I read that the 12 inch driver loses directivity after 750. But I played around with Behringer dcx 2496, and I had the impression, that 1200 second order was the best sounding. The main reason for cro...

I've managed to make my own room treatments thus far, all bass oriented and although some broadband absorption has been used the bulk is effective 30hz - 500hz. It is an architectural type of solution where I have a covered the front and side walls...

Now I have had the EdgarHorns in my system for a number of weeks and have been moving them around the room and moving things in the room around to make them sound their best. So far I have come to this problem: when I have heard many othe...

[quote user="Thorsten"] First, the Lowther has ze wizzer cut off and has an Equalisation circuit to flatten ze upper midrange bump. Otherwise it is run fullrange, that is WITHOUT HIGHPASS OR LOWPASS. [/quote]
Probably this is why the Lowther sounded...

[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...

There is a very scarce effect in nature I will try to explain, a sort of sense explosion. One of this happens sometimes in food tasting.
When you have a very tasty, very good cheese and you take a couple of bites and it grabs your tongue and i...

[quote user="danvprod"]My objective is to create a system that is able to emotionally re-create music in a powerful and realistic way. My greatest memories are playing in orchestras and sitting in the middle of the violin section with a hundred o...

[quote user="el`Ol"] I know the PAC tweeter of the WLM has the best transients and transparency of all tweeters I know and so is the best tweeter above 5kHz I know, although I hated the implementation (crossed far too low, harsh-sounding upper midran...

So, two almost two years later and this contraption is still in my room and "ain´t goin nowhere" :-)Guys, I became obsessed with horn speakers and specially with Onkyo product so I would like to share with you my latest experiences.The speakers I tal...

[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, if the Ultimate MF Compression Driver is used from 1000-1500Hz then why shall it be able to play 500Hz? The answer is: he harmonic reserve – the driver that will be suited for 500Hz will have larger cone and softer sust...

Well, acg, I am not wild about your idea of the curved frame,
primary on the reason of esthetics but it is your speaker not mine and you
shall do whatever pleases you. A few mandatory things that I would like to

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.

"Hm, I dont
really know about this, I heard a GOTO system with the GOTO 505 in the
GOTO 150 Hz horn and I found it to go anemic in the lower range, I
think a FANE M8, that I heard briefly during some experiments, would do
better in this range wit...

Ralph Di try all the usual suspects ,but he preferred the polymer, the midrange horn weighs 75kg , the profile is completey different tothe old 'flat fronted' birch ply horns, there will be new drivers next year,Keith....

Allo Romy,Big topic this! I will write something suitably detailed when I get a chance this weekend, but you're right - the transformer is key and one that is optimised for the task in hand is absolutely the way to go and something that not many peop...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

I have identified a direction for my next speaker system. Whether it is a good one or not is a different topic -- I think it's a good one because I've lived with my current horn system for 10 years and have since developed an understanding of it's st...

Number one, that I'd like to run by you guys due to it's simpler nature and closer to reality execution is the idea I have been thinking about. No first hand experience with any of this.Say we use something like altec 1505b multicellular horn that sh...

Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a somewhat compressed sound...

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 profiles (Le Cleac'h) for the...

Yes, there is a Radian replacement diaphragm for original JBL phenol ones. It's a 4" voice coil, aluminium alloy dome with mylar suspension. Looks good on paper but I don't know if it is good. The retail is $210, usually goes on Ebay around $160.So y...

Does anyone have any experience with the Meyer X-10?I have heard this speaker a few times now - always under difficult conditions (dead studio control rooms - and with material with excessive reverb) - but I have heard just enough to make me think th...

Sure, Romy. The commercial product has both midrange and tweeter horns inside the mouth. My plan is to use the bass horn on it's own, as a dedicated bass channel. The plan appeals to me because there are no folds, among other reasons. The expansio...
