how the Western Electric L-9 was made but I think it is not sealed

cloth enclosures that you, Joe, might recognized as sealed.[/quote]The L-9...

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. Why did I embark on this quest? Well although I’m quite happy with my headphones, I miss being...

[quote user="serenechaos"] By “midbass horn” I’m talking about a horn with about a flare frequency of about 60 Hz, to use with Fane 8” drivers, to start with.
(Was planning to use this horn from wherever it sounded best, try...

Thanks Romy, Paul, and Ronnie for the comments and encouragement :
Here are some responses :
1) Rubber gaskets :
Maybe it is not so important to have an “air-tight” seal (???). The rubber gaskets are there to seal the cover to the rear chamber...

[quote user="Scott L"] the last time I checked, you were using 6each
@ 10 inch low frequency drivers per side. That's "getting there" but
still not enough to produce an acoustical watt. (which horns CAN do).[/quote]

Brain, C’mon, I was kidding about the “Electron Intensification Interface”! There is nothing in this phonocorrector then a correct selection of tubes, thier proper (well almost proper) use and selection of the specific topological decisions that sold...

Thanks for sharing these images Serge.I would like to learn more about the Audiotekne bass solution.What size driver is that, is it a sealed cabinet, what is the baffle,and what frequency range is demanded from this box?Ho...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

I did finish today the 2-driver extension for bass towers. I did not mount them to the default location – waiting for a “friend” to come to help me to do it. As I finish it will be exactly the same configuration that I had 7 years back in Boston.

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Pete,
I do not think that it makes a sense to searched for “LF for use with Vitavox S2”. Do you think that there are good LF to use with Vitavox S2 and there are good LF to use with other drivers? I do not think so...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...

I realize that some people have been raised from infancy with the Lowthers, take them to bed, etc., so I do not mean to do anything here other than air some recent thoughts on the subject and perhaps get a discussion going about these drivers and pos...

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect.
And influences in digital domain are usually terrible.
But I'm not sure what other options available....

Hi Gera"Has anyone done this and what were the observations of comparing different topologies."I have done just what you propose, I tried the JBL2490 compresion driver with a 3" mouth in a 110 hz horn well made, MDF round tactrix horn, it goes ...

I am in the think through stage of improving my playback. Each loudspeaker currently has 2x 12" woofers in a sealed 80 liter cabinet (Fc-500 Hz). Measured LF extension is more or less flat to 30-35 Hz. Efficiency is close to 100dB/watt. The list...

I got home today and was listening the music of my carpenter in my basemen cutting the wood for my midbass horn. I was slowly thinking about the location of my perspective lower bass channels. The Midbass Horns, if the things go well, will cover...

Ok, the one channel of the Milq is up and running. The first assembly went fine, no bugs or problems – it worked fine juts after the build. All voltages, delays and heating are normal; this I would need to inspect everything again after it will work ...

Maybe make a manifold and mount drivers vertically in push pull. No sagging, much less vibration. But I would not use fiberglass insulation behind the bass channel and remove any existing fiberglass in that area, replace with cotton/denim insulat...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

Ronnie,
I’m sorry I was not able to detect the clipping you were taking about listening your file. However, if you can hear ANYTHING distorted at 1kHz (when ONLY your upper bass horn is playing) then you might consider the following: it has NOTHING ...

I asked Alex who got those tweeter from him and he said that it was Stavros Danos from Cyprus. So, it was the Greek guy that we have meet before on the pages of my site:
