Hi Romy,I have no experience with Pass labs, but have been looking at his old Aleph 3 for some time with interest. Do you know this amp? I believe it is 50W class A and around 800$ typically on audiogon? If you want to spend a lot more my Tom E...

...is the head gap in the recording head. This head gap works as a low pass filter because the size of the gap determines the highest frequency that can be recorded. This "brick wall filter" is and was a HUGE benefit to playback simply by getting rid...

Not the same size, shape or volume of the original baffle/cabinet, but I appreciate that you want to keep the appearance you've imagined, and this seems like the "easiest" way to do that. Good luck using a reciprocal saw to cut out the 6" laminated b...

Romy, could it be that the sheer beauty of the Tannoy wooferwill be compromised by the insertion of any high pass filtersbetween amp and driver?...

use the Beringher for bass under 100 hz, driven by the main amp. We tried a lot of different

I'm not sure exactly what I expected from swapping the digital cable at this point, but what I got was not it.Before I bought the Belkin Synopsis cable I just swapped out, I had sought out and purchased an Acoustic Revive cable, on the strength o...

Romy Hi, I understand, I thinkthat Ralph too sees the Beta and Gamma as the least compromised , I will pass on your details and maybe you can discuss it directly with Ralph, ( he has an interesting amp at home as well ) you prefer those old cinema dr...

Novigera, let's ignore any issues of sound quality first. A horn loads its drivers and increases efficiency only at certain frequencies. The frequencies that are more efficient are based on length, taper and size of the mouth. That means that it does...

OK, good luck with your experiments. Be advised however that if you use capacitors for high-pass speaker lever crossovers then those caps need to be aged. The amplitude of this effect wary from cap to cap but all of them in one way or other would ne...

I guess the tricky bit would be to customize sound to someone else's "objectives", "taste", whatever.As an architect I deal with a similar problem every day: trying to idealize what the customer wishes (from a messy mishmash of the input and preconce...

I read an interesting post by Martin King, the MathCAD wizard that created some sheets to predict driver behaviour in different types of boxes. He had 3 groups of speaker enclosures: boxes so small that standing wave resonances (sealed and vented) ar...

The coupling capacitor is a first order high pass filter. I have .68 in there for there for this purpose. Obviously the slope will be shallow, so precision in the value will not be critical....

Joaco, so far you have reported only improvements with both of the units you have tried. If the new unit also has a by-pass switch, then perhaps you will continue to post your impressions over time?Can you share the stated output distortion of the n...

[quote user="Kcct82"]I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2...

Speaker vs. lineMany benefits, Paul, it was well covered at my site along with many others places.Cap vs. coilTruly huge, only this would well-worth the admission ticket of the line-level. Do not also forget that in high-pass situation a coil works a...

Antonio,
I have no business (or frankly speaking interest) in production Sound of new Pass Labs loudspeaker. Not to mention that any more or less credible prediction I am able to make only with horn-loaded setups, otherwise my knowledge of the condi...

Would it not be possible to create a type of transmissionline, but with a closed port and many bends to spread the internal resonances and provide means to damp them.Perhaps it is even good to tune an open transmissionline to a couple of octaves belo...

Can/Does this stuff take it into account when the recording in question already includes some sort of native or contrived ambience? In any case, the generic version of this stuff is routine in a typical recording/mixing studio, just pass band +/- de...

Paul, one of the reasons I went for the Orelo was because it's as close to "plug 'n' play" as I can imagine a speaker system being. So I'm not very knowledgeable about its detailed workings. What I do know is this though...There are 3x 15" bass drive...

OK this is with a digital XO, I'm wondering whether most of you would bother to low pass a 800-10k Radian mid in a 425hz Azurahorn, which hands over to a 10K+ tweeter?I've read that playing too high for a particular horn has some sort of dissadvantag...

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...

Hi Romy, I imagine the coupling cap in the full range melq acts as a first order high pass filter: is there any reason why one could not lower its value to raise the cutoff to a level one would otherwise redundantly need a speaker-level filter to ach...
