[quote user="Romy the Cat"] And of course there was the Onegin of the Onegins: the performance in 1955 by Boris Khaikin with Bolshoi Orchestra & Chorus in studio of Moscow Radio Center. [/quote] Ah, I was spinning today the Khaikin’s Onegin’55. Y...

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...

[quote user="noviygera"]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 mu...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter.[/quote]

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple of days. I install these...

Roomy,I have read the posts from two years ago on your multi-cell horns. What was the final verdict? I don't see them for sale so I assume you've kept them. I'm curious where you stand on using 18 cell horns as the main midrange source....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I very much do not want to sound like I am expressing sarcasm. [/quote] Romy, I don’t treat your comments like expressed sarcasm and I never did it. In my view, your site is the only place in Internet, where fruitful discus...

Romy rain all this weekend so have been listening to the Stahl-Tek and the MSB platinum III with 'signature' upgrades , MSB seems to float the sound ona cloud of coton candy, almost to the detriment of resolution , perhaps there is little softe...

Yes, Paul, you are right that it has to be pointed that the frequency extension, by itself, does not guarantee anything (but that’s why I posted the thread in Audio For Dummies section :-) ). OK, now let’s see how the tweeters should be used (in cont...

Just put some whizer flaps on the back of the B515 diaphrams , a pair of mandolins in the bas horns, a pair of jew harps in the midrange throat and some old and crunchy oxidized alufoil in the treble and the whole thing would integrate by tuning the...

The frequency range of telephones is 300-3000 Hz and this could give you an impression on how good your amp is in the midrange. But that determines your further plans. Would be OK if you plan to use a 6.5" cone driver in your system anyway....

but I'm not going to compete with "S2 people " Following recommendation of John Hasquin I ordered B&C 21EP8 -16 . I'm cured form Fane for a time being and don't have S2 but "obsolete " altec 288c 24 Ohm on 400Hz horn . I was counting ...

[quote user="homebuilder"]I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a d...

I think this may be beneficial to use inside or outside the back compression chambers panels if they exhibit a panel resonance. My midrange rear chambers slightly vibrate at 500Hz, I think I will try these....

Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...

Yes, the topic is really interesting, at least to me. There is one thing
for sure – the man who starts the development of his acoustic system with a blank
sheet of paper, must have a lot of experience in arranging different channels
in terms of ps...

Hi Fellow Forumers,This is my first newbie post :-) Do any of you have any experience with running a Lundahl 1627 in a Full Range Melquiades with Avantgarde Duo Omega speakers?The other options are to get some custom Amorphous OPT's <50R 350mA 8:1...

I was suspecting that, when I get a "punchful" sound, the stage gets more compressed and flat. Widening the stage yields a compressed sound, specially in the low midrange-upper bass. I'll try, but I guess these speakers won't ever be at the DPoLS, al...

I was simulating the Fane S 8M in hornresp, your favourite program, and then I tried B&C 8PE21 and it was almost identical. Then I tried to simulate the 18Sound 8M400F and it went lower than both of them. Listening tests on youtube comparing the ...

INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. So you said, midbass horns?OK, let's g...

[quote user="morricab"] It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They ...

I liked this book.He talks about tone, dynamics, emotion.Focuses on room placement, integration, focus on midrange, etc.There is some crazy stuff there, but it is marked as "superstition"...

One possibility is that the midrange to high frequency domain has very large suck out (no pun intended). The priapic horn with its aggressive high pass might be a "filler" device to amend the 2nd order electric dip in frequency (Linkwitz-Riley alignm...

Unfortunately I cannot reply to your question, Roman, as I purchased from herr Von Langa a N.O.S. pair of Altec 416-8B 15" woofers.BTW: while in Berlin, last May, Frank Schroeder performed an interesting, provoking "blind-test" using '50s and '60 Tel...

I heard the Array 1400 at a show: https://www.neomax.ro/produs.php?id=P:5737-S:336It has the aluminum diaphragm rather than beryllium.The demo music sounded very nice. Effortless and beautiful.The midrange tended to spit and shout a bit though, like ...

Another bogus idea.If a perfect upper bass could be achieved by means of spherical (approx. 1m diameter horn), what would be the next acceptable solution,if space considerations do not allow big horns? Perhaps that could be a line array of small dire...

Ok, was playing the tonearm today all day long. It dose work fine. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything further on about its sound as I finally concluded that I need a better mono cartridge. Screw you Denon-102! I can’t listen this midrange pusher any...
