I have finally put together a half-stack of my Bass Cannons concept.The four Cannons wired in parallel and stuffed according to my previous trials on a single tube end up with Fs=41.7Hz and an impedance response as shown below......which means that w...

If you read my site and are accustomed to some off the wall ideas that sometimes popup to my heard then you did not heard about the latest one, the most moronic of all. I have to preface it by saying that I do not looking for any TT improvements. I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I will be moving to 8.5 -8.5
configuration as I feel it is more suitable.
No matter how large the room is I feel more comfortable with shaping Sound
in a small area. [/quote]Romy, is this 8.5 feet measured from the driv...

I have my Cetla 91 that I might use but they are too big and
too demanding. The idea is to have a corner speaker with small footprint and use the enclosure highs do develop bass.
In the room like this bass will be dissipating very dramatically, so...

Yes, Jessie, but in case you decide to go for DSET, would it be multi-channel Melquiades or anything else, then your consideration for type and topology of the lower bass would greatly dictate requirements for your DSET. If your lower bass channels r...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, perhaps your ScanSpeak arrays are a +/- natural fit for mid-bass? If you used them for that you might also push them down a little until you got your ULF solution. The "nice" thing about this is, you might use something r...

Yahoo! I was able eventfully to educate myself how to get out of the “Melquíades” the sound that I needed (using some blood injections from Dima)! Now the project with the “Melquíades” amps is slowly converting from a labor to a pleasure!

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

Interesting that you post illustrates perfectly the notion of multi-amping advantage. A few years bask when I still was going to all those hi-fi show I proposed a notion that a room that has 50-500Hz properly dialed to a given room has with all ...

Romy, Selling the heavy stuff would be smart... Wait a minute; its all heavy. The ULF modules would be fairly easy to recreate; in any case, I want to redo the enclosures using different materials, so this part of it makes sense to me. I'm not ent...

Well, in context of a full-range speaker, like largest Wilsons or the similar, the answer would be unquestionably no. Even if we biamp those speakers then the LF still is too wide bandwidth and too geographically bind to the MF section. The wor...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

To me there is absolutely nothing as high as the last 1-2 inch of Cohiba. I do not do any drugs, hardly ever drink but the last inch of Cohiba thrown me absolutely off cliff and I for a good 10-15 minutes drifting somewhere between “here” and “there”...

Dear Romy:
I have noticed this problem and it drives me absolutely nuts to the point where when listening all I can think about is how misbalanced the levels are...then I just change the station. This is not a small nitpicker issue but so blatant...

Yes, the bottom response is about right. There is a thing about the bottom response, I might be a bit in unchartered territory as I do not know how properly calibrated your measurement devise and many other conditions that might affect the measur...

Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VTF you have to do it on the ...

SOUND; Now Concert Halls Pay House Calls

Playing symphonic music in the living room defies the natural order of things.

[quote user="rowuk"]This is one of the aspects of being a "conductor". Very immediate sound, little early reflections or concert hall - everything is "overly" dynamic. When we compare this to being in the audience, each instrument group behaves in di...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

Make you bids ladies and gentlemen – how long would take to complete my midbass horn.

Romy, I'm very proud that you are following me and commenting my achievements.I just don't understand why you are doing it in a manner that you are the one and others are idiots and morons. If you don't understand others, you can ask them questions. ...

I "get" the attraction in selling a few Milqs. But. . . 1. What is the likelihood of the Milqs becoming part of a good entire system? 10%? 5%? less? So what is the point?2. An average "garden variety" professional consultant / law partner bills at $...

But here it is. I made this monoblock fit into less than a square foot. It is tight. I use Hammond iron throughout. Their stuff usually works pretty good for power supplies. I have some photos at my blog. [img]http...
