[quote user="Ronnie"]I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA h...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][/quote]Ok, here are some thoughts that I have after the last night experiments. The tests were made with Sunfire subwoofer, wiath is bad sounding machine but excellent LF test source. The Sunfire slope wary from 3rd order...

Dan, are you using the Behringer DEQ2496 for your RTA? If so, you could
be experiencing the same problem I had. Once in a while its frequency
range goes doolally and shows rubbish - but not quite enough rubbish to
make it obvious. (I think it read...

1) Be very careful with use Halco resistors. They were very good 15 years back but they turned south very aggressively. I bought a party of Halco in 2005 and I forced myself to trashed them as they were very noisy. You do not use then in critica...

hey jessie-I've wondered the same thing-- and the more i end up twiddling around with it, the more I think it really either comes down to good measurements, or good listening! And in fact.. probably both in conjunction!I have a small 2 wa...

I have been pitching about the superior importance of time alignment for years. It is not that I violently insist that people have their channels time-alignment. We kind of free people and everyone do whatever they want. Still, I exercise for years m...

Roman:
since I came to GSC, I became more and more careful (at least trying) in proper choosing words, due to the need of expressing myself in a language which isn't my own, some finesse and subtleties get lost, so further explanation or underl...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...

Yes, I agree. If the output of the fundamentals-channel is controlled via the slopes in the crossover, the opportunity to set the output on a recording-to-recording basis is lost. If one, however, has the output of the fundamentals-channel ...

[quote user="cv"]This is but one reason why I'm asking Martin Seddon to make me a pair of 160Hz horns...[/quote]Another problem….
Chris, be carefully with those large 160Hz horn and S2. The guys who make then have no instruments to center the mounti...

I think 8-8-1 will be very good configuration all together.
Make sure it stays sufficiently far from back wall. Point the axis toward to your shoulder and I think it would
be fine setting. Turn off tweeters and Fundamentals channel and set right

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

No question there is noise bleeding in from the rest of house - I just don't know it yet. When something is taken away I can miss it but am not the most perceptive before being made aware of what to listen for.John Broskie talks about us being broke...

Adrian,
It might be a fascinating but more evolved journey then you think or willing to endure. The first thing first I think that your fear that your “midrange might have ideal frequency response” is not a motivation to change anything. Are y...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a ...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Marcus,
here is absolutely nothing wrong in what you describe. I absolutely assure you that any single person initially end up with the results similar to what you describe. Most of them stop there and do not understand that they got very bad...

Scott,
I do not particularly like many of the ideas that you presented in here and, in my view, some of your movements you are planning are faulty. Your dissatisfaction of the Edgarhorns upper-bass is too wide-ranging and not well-interpreted ...
|

The system is still very much a work in progress, but I have come to the conclusion that the concept as such is very, very good. It's only up to me to make it sound as well as I know it is capable of. Making and fine-tuning the crossover might take m...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I've been listening for about one week now with the filters set so the hand off from lower-mid to upper-mid happens higher up (upper-mid S2 is high-passed at 4800Hz instead of 3200Hz), meaning the small 400Hz horn is doing...

Ok, you are getting somewhere. I am not sure why I used the 100R, 50R and 22R resistors. It is good idea in some cased to list the potential of some circuits but it need to be used ONLY what it necessary. Do not forget that in your case you have 5 ch...

Someone at AA’ sewers posted his measurements of Edgarhorn system, supplemented with a subwoofer and Fostex Tweeter. I do not know the poster personally, most likely he is another AA’s advice seeker – means another idiot - and therefore it is ha...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:
Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

Thank, Manolis, it did address some concerns. I think I even know what you did with the MF driver. You were able to get 50Hz out of this looks like horn? This is impressive. The boundaries-loaded horns sometimes allow doing away with the horn siz...
