[quote user="el`Ol"]But when the frequency where the dipole acoustic short circuit "kicks in" is clearly below the Fs of the driver, everything "dipoly" that can happen are rear wall reflections with the wrong phase, and that danger is also reduced b...

Guy, here some unconnected comments that you might find worth considering. They are in no order or importance, just random thoughts.

Ok, I have 200 posts in this thread. I was stated over a year back. Thanks for anyone consulted me and observed where my Pilot Acoustic Systems took me. At this point, when the MiniMe result has settled to my satisfaction and when I am not going...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have to admit that since the torch of sane sounding horn-loaded loudspeakers nowadays in my hands (among the outspoken people with web presences) I feel sort of an obligation to comment about new interesting species ...

Hi there el Olyou are on the right track. (I know your post is quite old now, but I just found it today when I googled my own site).I am the one who invented the Polyepicell cones of Kea Audio.I bought the patent papers that Mr Podzus made over 60 ye...

A few days ago somebody mentioned to me that Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd man come up with an opera about French revolution. A brief research confirmed the rumors and it turned out that it was quite awhile back:

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

[quote user="Paul S"]You have mentioned that you want a much larger enclosure for your oops unit. I was then wondering if you aim to merely broaden and/or lower resonant response or if you planned to in some way tailor resonance as it rela...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

Hello Romy,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner… Moving to the new place has turned out to be a huge task, but worth it, as this new home actually has a place to work, not to mention a much better selection of recorded music at the local...

It is great that Wilson did anything like this, thank for
pointing out. I did not read the article passing 3rd paragraph and stooped
reading when they start taking about listening impressions. The listening
impressions from those people are truly ...

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

[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...

[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]
I am not sure what you mean...

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.

It looks to me that I will be able to live with my 6 driver
line array. Again no measurements were made but it is what it “looks”. Sound-wise it is very reputable and I just might
leave it as is. My current room is 6 larger to what I had in downto...
