That is funny but I received a few emails from audio people suggesting that I am a nut because at I suddenly expressed queasily in a monitor loudspeaker. Ironically only one of them uses some-type horn loading loudspeakers and the rest use large floo...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

That's a possibility. Romy, what about the classic LS3/5a design? Small monitor. Sealed box. jh...

Yes, you are correct. The UHF are pro Canadian people and they do have the Canadian bias. Interestingly that the Canadian audio generally has very Canadian bias as well. It is very unfortunate as I always thought that bias should be for better Sound ...

I do not monitor what is going on with digital for a few years but from my arrested development I remember that there was no more interesting 16bit transport then TL0…....

I kind of ignorant in the subject and I decided to see what is going on in there.
I am kind of ignorant about software to play my 88kHz/24 Bit files. I play them with software I record the WaveLab 6.0. I decided to try alternative players. It ...

I have some strange feeling about this MiniMe idea and I really hate those feelings. The entire concept of MiniMe was to have painlessly integrated with large-speakers mini-monitor with somehow “not to revolting sound”. However, as I go slowly along ...

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] … I am going to revise my "Mini" speakers for a second system (different location) and I have not decided how serious they should be. [/quote] From one point I would like it to be better, not because it need to be but beca...

Folks,It is really amusing. Here I am busy myself for a while and am not looking and suddenly Roman talks about Mini Monitors and secondar phonostages.It is even funnier if you realise taht I am on a similar kick right now, simply because I am workin...

The idea of trapped horn looks like get very popular among audio people. I have no position on the subject and I do not know if trapped horn is able to facilitate proper sound and if it drastically different from the sound of operated enclosures. I n...

Yes, too low efficiency, even worse than Altec 515, (when loaded with small throat, in proper FLH, NOT A7 type "horn" which disqualified it also for my usage... I don't know how "colored" Tannoy would sound with properly designed...

I started to pay attention more deeply at what people do with monitors. The more I look at the available 2-ways monitors the more revolting picture I see. Today I heard one super expansive monitor that all those cretin-reviewers are drooling about la...

[quote user="oxric"] Firstly, the costs involved and the real chance that this project might not work make this project statistically a horrible waste of money, time and resources which could be better spent in pursuing other solutions which are ...

For people with less knowledge of Horns and wants to use them in smaller real estate is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor system/miniME type of speaker http://www.oswaldsmillaudio.com/Pro...

I wanted to ask your opinion on wide dispersion horns, I am thinking particularly of the ( maple ) horns used in the TAD Exclusives ,early Westlakes etc, mostly studio monitor designs. I can see why a compact ,wide dispersion horn would be attra...

[quote user="zanon"]Does anyone know of CD mixed especially for headphone?Maybe two mics, 6 inches apart, is the correct way to record for such a playback system.[/quote] All of them. Zanon, most of the CD are mastered by electricians in headphones...

Interesting. I think that with testing just for:
- gain - bias - distortion - power output - hum level balance
It is not necessary give an objective picture about resources of a tube. We can monitor the change rate in the tube bias as some ...

Without regulation, this amp would not work correctly due to its design: DC coupled and fixed bias. The high transconductance will make the bias current varied as much as 50-100ma due power line fluctuation without the regulators. It mi...

Maybe a better link to the original WAMMs, this should come right up, and it includes an info-mercial:http://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-modular-monitor-wamm-loudpeaker-system#6heUrTMjKJ1DZRqA.97Paul S...

Excellent news regarding this morning's discoveries. jd wrote:"...Are you able to say whether the problem is due to the horn position relative to the room, or to throat diameter relative to the driver diameter?..."Yes, a stupidly phrased question, bu...

The Model Two's manual states:Note: It is recommended that the Monitor Output Level be set close to +18 dBu to providethe best combination of digital resolution and analog output stage performance.Surely, it's just too much of a coincidence that a re...

I was flipping through the Absolute Audio magazine May/June, this evening,,,And on page 33,,,A full page ad for MONITOR AUDIO SPEAKERS,,Lo and Behold ,,Poseing next to the speaker was Violinist NICOLA BENEDETTI,,,in a long white evening gown, holding...

These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ? If the speaker will ...

Romy, have you considered the nearfield monitor route with a "decent receiver", perhaps a "softer" older PP tube model, or even an Adcom? LS35As are the fallback nearfield option, and they can be fun, and I would guess that there are ...

and call me in the morning.So, the idea is simply to not get one's hopes up?While I would certainly take most mid-fi over most hi-fi, I think you know the reasons for that.Well, why not just run this into the ground, see who salutes?Sure you don...

I have a second system in the kitchen. The speaker is a small Monitor Audio 2way which I picked up over 10 years ago for $500/pair (new). They are ported in the rear and hang from the ceiling in front of the brick wall, powered by chip amps.

So, basically, another $30k mini-monitor?Could you be more specific on the sound development, propagation and decay of the enclosure with the tap test?That white actually looks soothing, kind of like white opal. But if you want it black, why di...

[quote user="decoud"]Perhaps you should use the cathedral configuration to make a synergy horn of the entire ceiling: tweeter at the apex, mf a little further down each wall, and bass at the base. Were it steeper it could actually work. [/quote]

First of all congratulations, I am very happy for you and Amy! I think hard wood floors is a good idea, acoustically you will find a way to deal with sound.If you put the Melqualdes in the basement you can put a smoke detector very close and maybe ...
