Anthony, irrespectively of all the extreme acrobatics you are doing with the inner damping and the structural isolation, sound wave hitting your tubescan multiply all your work by zero. As simple as that. Big tubes = big inner structure structure = l...

that old sails does just control <1khz reflections ... you need to control your mid bass n basic bass frequencies first. [/quote]

You could bond (either completely or strategically) "hook-end" velcro to the horn and then have some custom sandbags made with "loop-end" velcro on one side. http://www.uline.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?model=S-14556&ref=6426If I were to ...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

Hi, Touch.
I see what you are trying to do. However, I think that you have reached a point in your craziness when you need to stop using off the shelf accidental horn solutions. I feel you need to recompile your system as a custom installation that ...
|
|
OK, sounds reasonable. There are plenty concerns that I would
rise with the speaker idea you proposed. However, lately begin to feel that
many of the things I have stated or might state in audio do not find proper
ears to be herd. It is not that w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet read Romy's last post where he recommends putting the mic back at listening point). [/quote]

Romy,
Thanks again for your comments.
The RTA and filter mods over the past few days have driven me straight up to the local café to chill out; they have WiFi here (this being France, still no internet at the house)... I will be brief.

[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 ...

Ronnie,
Arranging the driver in a line array is a fierily straight forward thing. Also be advised that the arrays will less likely work across a short wall, and you need to use a long wall. Generally it is imposable to advise anything as any rooms a...

Angelo,
I care less about the “commercially available” objectives, honestly it is too boring.
However, whatever you do not be distracted that what you are making will be reminding Avantgardes. The Avantgarde Trio Classic (in vertical configuration)...

Dear Romy and all,
I’ve been lurking here for a few months and - after a sceptical start! - I have found this site an Invaluable Help. Many many thanks to Romy and all involved. My system is now starting to sing and make nice noises for the first ti...

What would be most interesting would be to capitalize on the possiblity you have to make use of the basement volume as an enclosure for the lower-bass channels. This wold however, almost certainly introduce floor vibrations requring that you find...

[quote user="Simon"] I hope to hear your impressions of the extent of the differences between the Macondos with the waterdrops and new stands to how they may have sounded previously. [/quote]
Yes, there are differences between the “tripoded” Macondo...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="MusicLover"] Romy, SS amps have a FLAT freq curve and essentially inaudible distortion. THey don't cause ANY sound. No one has been able to scientifically demonstrate that SS amps add any HUMAN AUDIBLE signature to the signal. While I un...

ya that’s likely where the truth goes. I had it once with electrostatics. Theyre most bitchy in regards of correct positioning in the room as we all know. They’re a lifetime task to find DPOLS. I tried to move around and found huge difference. Some c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was playing more with precision of my MF channel and I became convinced that I should not do it anymore and I should get better interfaces between the frame and the MF horn. So, I have decided to get a positioning table. ...
|
|
Thanks, Ric. At this point “specificity” of the sings positioning is not my primary interest but I rather am looking into strategic and conceptual solutions. For instance the Jessie’s idea to use attic and ceiling for midbass entry is very lucrati...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet...

I do not advocate injector
on the ground. The way how I use my injector I high pass is aggressively, so the
ground coupling is not a requirement. If somebody use injection at lower
octaves then it might be a merit to do so but not in context of my...
