Stitch, I do not think they are special apart from the triumphant nature of their presention, and their curiosity factor, like a perfect 1/100 scale model of Notre Dame made of smoked pork, accented with mother of pearl. That they are 8" single driv...

[quote user="HookEm"] Actually, I would prefer moving towards a more permanent solution (for practical, and frankly, economic reasons); and if that means moving away from the single driver (yellow cone), so be it... Now if having the subs in place wo...

A few days ago a friend of mine and I did spent over an hour to fantasize what might be done if the ULF tube SET is planned. It is not so simple as to drive the tube like 833/GU-48, you will not be able to do with Milq driver. But I also would like d...

I wish to construct a single horn speaker that might be used to explore Romy's amplifier design now, while not being useless within a 4-way system in the future (to be housed in a 5x5x3.6m room).I plan to construct it by pouring in a mixture of resin...

Quickly again, for the record, and The Google:The back wave of the Manger has a much less flat response than the front wave. There are peaks out the back. It is not a symmetrical dipole. This issue is only of interest if you are using the back ...

Arno, I have plenty at my site that describes in great detains why and what I do not like in idea of single driver with back-loaded horn. Build it and hear what you will be getting. The software you are irrelevant. There are no intended or not inte...

Paul,I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design. Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpgIn this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.This so...

[quote user="morespeakers2"]The injection channel is the only thing about the Macondo that raises my eyebrow as a kind of "out there" concept and I have been meaning to ask about it for quite some time.

A horn basically directs acoustic energy in a single focused direction, maximizing the efficiency with which the air mass to moved by acoustic waves is coupled to the driver. The best thing is to read a good book that covers the basics in simpl...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Roman, could you (or enybody ) elaborate a little bit on JBL L8 and its application ? Not so much sensible info on the net besides that its a fullrange usefull in 40Hz-8kHz. [/quote]I do not know, how can I elaborate if I never ...

[quote user="msaudio"]49Hz To 52Hz will be your peak, so the best you could hope for would be 3 hz below that flat with a perfect tuning of your length of your horn and back chamber of your box housing your woofers. If you shoot for the free air low ...

HelloI've always wanted to try an ESL as a horn driver:So I employed a hi power Koss 3-layer bass module cut from Koss "model 2" spkr.Polarizing voltage was low on Koss design so it was upped to 3kv w/ custom PS.Horn is old closet that had a trapdoor...

Josh, I am not sure what you want to say. If you looking to name the reason why you like the sound of Gotos then you are guessing as much as anybody else. I can tell you even more. I very confident that the Goto folks themselves are guessing. I do no...

12” the Goto 4” how did you convert one into another? You would need a 3-4 feet

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...

Outdoor performances always seem to me to fall short of indoor ones, and there are plenty of reasons why this should be so, but there is something attractive about a horn installation in a garden...it ought really to be made of rock, of course, f...

Now that you mention it, I'm not experiencing any of those distortion problems with this setup.The "breaking glass" sound seems to appear mainly when I'm listening to bandwidth limited speakers though.I have also noticed that it's only my left ear th...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

[quote user="N-set"]Romy, may I ask you why you've employed an autobias on 6E5Pin Milq's MF rather than your biasing technique (if there is any reason at all)?[/quote]If you look at the page #13 of the Milq DHT thread then you will see that the first...

Yes, some of the people who "know the most", and can contribute so much indispensable information - up to a point - can be simultaneously so generally confused that it's literally wearying. Imagine gazing into a magic mirror, where everything is so...

Paul, Points well taken. The F120A is listed as a FR driver. In my humble view, it does quite well for it's size, albeit the last two octaves will not be in full force (okay, the last octave is mostly MIA). It's lower sensitivity does not ...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Ok, I just read your "Melquides Remote biasing". This technic can not be duplicate in my amp due to DC coupling, the C3G (I dont use 6E5P) driver stage basically adjust the 6C33C current in the output stage. Just for curiosity,...

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...

I would not call them “bad”. They use very different magnets and meant to be used with higher power (with all negative consequences). You see the ceramic magnets are more or less OK for LF application but when a driver goes up and hits upper midrange...
