First, Adrian, Thanks for your feedback on the newer designed 2A3 tubes... very interesting. I've looked at all 3 of these brands before but have not as of yet purchased any (I have a large collection of 45 and 2A3 of various NOS US brands...

I do not know why people go into low-sensitive loudspeaker and they go crazy in order push the last drop out of the class A2 operation. From a different perspective the Macondo’s woofer towers with 97.5dB sensitivity are low low-sensitive loudspeaker...

Let start from the largest drivers and go down. There are larger then 18” drivers (23” and 30”) but looking at this magnet structures I do not find them serious. I addition to make the 23” cone stiff enough requires a lot of diaphragm’s mass or to us...

[quote user="manisandher"]As I alluded to before, I'm at risk of becoming a DSET convert - it's all very well having a nice low-powered amp, but what the hell do you use with it? Are there any decent high-sensitivity FR speakers out there? Or is ...

[quote user="miab"]In my unit there is definately a change in sound running from wall from early in the day to late evening. In the late evening being the better. Before the Purepower this was much more noticeable but to quantify it, the worse da...

You are correct about the load matching, for the Super Mild LF channel a half-Ohm of loading change bass quite dramatically. Still, the idea was to make this SET completely without any intentionally implemented feedback. It is juts not necessar...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] A technical understanding is necessary and I am always trying to learn more... [/quote]Jessie, you might at this point have worries/interests about technicalities of horns operation or a desire to find theoretical justifi...

yes I understand your take with regard to those phrase, now what a about "too dull" or "not resolved" or "lack of detail"?Those would then be equally 'incorrect' for initial sound determination. If I use a different cart to my current V15 xMR, sa...

This is very interesting subject.
I expect that tghe new Midbass horns will have somewhere 108dB sensitively anechoicly. The driver is 99dB and the hyperbolic curve has much more EQ then Tractrix and that is more important the EQ that work mu...

Well that was my father. We founded the company together - he invests, I researches, mostly. Bruce Edgar and Sam Saye taught me how to design, and we built our first prototype system in California.Think I need a bit more clarification on the five tim...

A few days ago in the thread “Who Builds Horns”: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=3226#3226 there were mentioned the Cessaro Horn Acoustics Company from Germany. The company has an interesting model Gamma: http://www.cessaro-hor...

[quote user="Ronnie"] Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because Denon D-M31 (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society).
Things with zero or low detected coloration, after meticulous list...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

I have drawn up my 20Hz subwoofer horn in Google SketchUp 3D. This horn is more for home theater than for music. My smaller 40Hz loaded with B&C Speakers 8PE21’s is more musical and articulate. The 20Hz tapped horn is loaded with two Tang Ban...

If you are an adherent to single-ended amplifiers and high-efficiency loudspeakers then undoubtedly you came across to the thought what to do with LF sections and how to drive them. The high sensitivity at LF comes only along with the non-resolvable ...

What I hate usually and in audio in particularly is the situation when a professional know that s/he is able to deliver a satisfactory resale and s/he subordinate and enslave everything to this believe. Pretend you are have a house with a single ...

Klaus,
The 515-8GPH were in same scale as the 515G with slightly above 35Hz resonance frequency and 103 sensitivity - a very good candidate for 60Hz horn. The 10” throat? No bolls to go for 9”, how about 8”? I’m just kidding. The throat ...

Jorge, if you have 120hz horn with a 4" throat and 10" driver then Fane 8M would be a good candidate in my view. If I were you then I would try. The SG146LG is you had would be very interesting to try as well. Not to try it stupidly as most of Go...

Its been some months I tried an SS amp of a different kind. I personally don't like the SET sound, but aknowledge some of their advantages from technical POV.

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

Well Romy, IMO they are not just tonally different they are more
tonally correct, ie. they simply have less coloration than other
technologies. Just listen to a recording sometime made with a
ribbon microphone and you will understand what I ...

I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds, the ML3 could well be a prod...
