Rakesh, I moved your post to this thread as I feel it is more relevant here, I hope you do not mind. You ask yours the very same question that I ask myself. I do not have definitive answers to them:

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

[quote user="oxric"]Hi Romy:
I have been following your mid-bass horn project with a mixture of fascination and horror for a little while and am awed by the remarkable amount of creative thinking that has gone into it.
I am sure there is n...

Romy,thank you for sharing thoughts on the 80Hz horn, giving honest opinion. So if the 80Hz horns are flawed design, I do not want to waste time to improve them. By the way, they are loaded with EVM15B drivers. I am now a bit perplexed on which rout...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming you go ahead with the mid-bass horn project: If you decide to run the woofer towers along with the mid-bass horns, it is logical to assume they'll produce much of the range produced by these new horns. [/quot...

This stuff has been stuck in my mind for some time now, working around in there against my ongoing experience, against what I am now running. The goal is a more dynamic presentation with better spectral balance, with the emphasis on LF and [more] cor...

The first and the bigger thing that I like about them is that Anima is trying to use the vertical-horizontal configuration where the bell of the vertical horn serves as frame for horizontal channels. I love this idea and had a number of my own th...

OK, I see.
Actually, I was planning on using the Druids with their ports sealed. Bad idea?FWIW, I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Chimera speakers (the UK-based manufacturer, not to be confused with the 'famous' US one) that I'm hoping to use fo...

I have just taken out of my system a First Watt F5 clone Tim Rawson amp, It was substituted by a Telefunken PP amp with 6AQ5 tubes. Let me to explain.
My system consists of 6 way horn loaded speakers. I have a round Tactrix...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

|
Yes, I bought a few jacks, they are not expensive, I can buy a lot of more. I put them under the floor, assuring that the floor does not “play” anymore but there is one big but in all of it. Those intellectual attacking of the floor’s mode have absol...

Albert, the Adjustable Hydraulic Dampening might be effective if the vibration of floor is the factor. This is exactly what I question as I do not feel that the floor vibration is a problem. Considering the length of the waves and the amplitude of t...

[quote user="kodomo"]I am using sealed bass arrays of 3 per side. I have six 10" scanspeak woofers in total. I aim to operate them from 38hz to 160hz with qtc 0.707I also have a tapped horn that I am using with my current horn system. It is 244cm's h...

Maybe you remember, even though I liked sealed enclosures I chose the ported bass boxes for my system. The reason was the TAD 1601b's in my situation. They just work and sound better with ported enclosures as they were designed to be used that way.Ma...

The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers. To lo...

[quote user="de charlus"]It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound...
|

Oh, yes this is the whole idea of Remedies, it is not only a Red combination but it is an assembly with midbass channel which would make it a conventional box loudspeaker. You see, with all interesting things about Tannoy Red the woofer part of t...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...

Anthony,
Yes, this is the exact configuration that I have. As you drive your LF channels down, probably it will be 30-35Hz with >2 order filter you will like the sound from them even more. I hope you have a good ...

[quote user="noviygera"]Romy,What was the reason you were not happy with the last version of your midbass section? THe one with two Vitavox 15" per side. [/quote]It was not a last version
but rather a temporary test version. I used in undersized sea...

Spent today a whole day moving the boxes, do some measurements,
fighting with REW interface, thinking, some listening… Found some bugs in the
system that I think screwed my initial feeling. The bugs were mostly by Thomas

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

[quote user="Paul
S"]If you said anything about your 15" VitaVox in the video, I
must have missed it. What frequency range are you running them, and what
is low-pass filter? Given your prejudices, I suppose the cabinets are sealed,
so they can't...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Guys, I am not looking or care about the design specifics but rather looking for some fresh idea and inspirations that would make me to think further. You see, if I shut down Macondo and measure just ULF channels then I...

Kodomo,
A brief post about concerns. Feel free to discard it.
LF modules – are you sure that you want to go with ported
solution? You can model your boxes and use any good drivers but sonically with
port you will end up with bass that would h...

In my first design, I kept them all in a vertical line. It had one channel less back then. When I added the 1" throat JMLC 1000, I decided, as the tweeter operates over 9.6k, the slight misalignment may not matter. Still, I kept vary and kept the fra...

I meat with a local gentleman who runs North Reading Engineering.
He turned out to be quite intelligent
with whom is stimulating to bounce different design ideas. We might try the K-Horn
with Vitavox drivers, which would be the same as CN-191 bas...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night I did an interesting experiment. I took the bass towers,
just 4 driver per side, crossed them at 90Hz, line-level and drove them not
with the Milq’s bass channel but with SS Yamaha B2. I use it with the tube cr...

[quote user="anthony"]This is excellent
information Romy. I have been worried about crossing the woofers at 100Hz
and would be much happier if I was able to cross them lower. We will see
how everything integrates into the room and if I do need t...
