Whoever implemented and experimented with my slicing of lower MF range by 3 channels (Upperbass, Fundamentals, and MF) know how powerful it might be. Changing loading and volume of each of the channels it is possible to write any sound one might ...

Romy, I'll limit my answer to only speaker-related problems. 1) Still too bright sound. Not hard or edgy, just too much top end. My local guy suggested trying a single resistor in series, rather than an L-pad, to tone down the tweet...

…. I would suggest trying to drive this driver with a single stage solution with no capacitance - you might find it very very very very very very educational.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Below a certain frequency the advantages become a handicap. At that point (if you were using its EQ capabilities), the SMS -1 would start to step in... Whether you reach that point with your 10" arrays depends on how low ...

Hm, this is what I am playing how: the new 18-cell and S3. I run it from a full time Milq and use it with no filter of any kid. Rony is right the depth effect is there, it is not even depth but rather multi-dimensionality. Indeed very pleasant feelin...

[quote user="haralanov"]And the very same is with electromagnets. With those so widely used 12V power supplies (Fertin, Feastrex for instance) the sound is always softer than it should be in reality with severally restricted dynamics and transien...

So, with this horn I got the sound I was dreaming for!Currently system consists of 4 channels:1. RAAL Lazy Ribbon (14k+)2. JBL 2453 in 550Hz LeCleach (1200 - 14k)3. JBL 2490 in first part of own JBL horn (300-1200)4. 12" Supravox in 42Hz 2m long horn...

I need to admit that I am partially a full of shit in this subject. For sure all the audio methods that I have mention are very beneficial to play Bruckner but the essence of the Bruckner music does not come from some kind of proper playback methods....

[quote user="haralanov"] The horns, even the fast opening ones are physically too deep for their mouth’s size, and this leads to a psychoacoustic illusion that the sound images are arrested at the bottom of the horn and from there they scream they wa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Indeed, I did not realized that I shifted my thinking in this thread and an in my general views from the ways of using those “Resonating Oops” to the subject of Injection principles. I think I did it because Injection, as I...

Thanks Gregm. It is interesting that I completely forgot the TAD PT-R9. I was looking at it 5-6 years back and spoke with AudioKinesis ‘Duke, who reportedly knows them well. My reservations that time were the very same as now: with 97.5 dB/W sensitiv...

I would like to note that my disagreement with David about his and other justification of TT high price does not imply that some of high price TT are very good performers, and it is highly possible that the new Micro AF1 is a very good sounding TT, i...

[quote user="mats"]I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well und...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

Hmmm... Thorny, difficult topic...The "integration" of HF certainly involves its "disappearance" - as "HF", as such - "into the soundfield". At the very least, Tone ultimately depends on this. But there also appear to be other benefits from "ge...

Thanks for your comments, Romy.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 ...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

You and I now have what seems to be very similar situations; similar MF and HF channels, in a room of similar size. However, I still have no operational dedicated mid-bass channels; you do. I have dedicated lower-bass channels; you do not. As is ...

Romy, Now you mention the issues here, I am thinking about what the differences in quality might be due to. I notice that you haven't explicitly said which is better, super or regular... so think of this just as brainstorming as to why things are... ...

Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

[quote user="T3GGG"]Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h ho...
