Thanks for the info on the Danleys.My initial idea regarding PA sound was that factors other then quality of equipment were critical. Things like attention to sound balance and room acoustics.So I suspect that if you got good sound from the Danleys, ...

Romy, your response sheds some light and I find your statement very interesting. >> I feel that if the listening distance is far from any nearfield and the room is relatedly big then Multicells can do OKwhat do you consider "nearfield" and what...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The point that am trying to make is that the subject of the “home use“ driver vs. the “pro use drivers” is a bit complicated and the thing are not so clear as you, Stefano, is trying to present it to yourself.[/quote]Tha...

Back to the subject of this thread!
I heard some rendition of Dr Edgar's gigantic monsters at the Montreal
show this year (2006) running with Modwright electronics, some 16 wpc
tube amplification (possibly SET). There was in that room also...

Yes, the car audio guys have addressed the space issues, for better or for worse, and this is why I keep revisiting that and the power "issue". Neither the Diatone nor the LE8 drivers are all that efficient, really, and both want large-ish (by moder...

Lately I have been thinking a lot, trying figure out what I
am and where I would like to go with Macondo. The Macondo base, the horns isle
is still there and I have no motivation to change anything. The conceptualizing
and assembling of what I hav...

Nice drawings Romy. It's looks from them that it is not too bad a situation IF your dealing with roof rafters and not trusses. Trusses look similiar to this link: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cedar-log-homes.com/Small-stuff-images/T...

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

Romy,Of course you are right. I would not expect you to advise me on whom to marry. I will indeed experiment as I was always planning to. I will place my speakers and play them, listen to the room, get naked, dance a little dance and hope for inspira...

Have you read the thread on Altec 19 becoming 21S?http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=13135#13135The Opera room thread is also relevant. To answer your immediate question, an EV T350 with a small enough cap can s...

Hi, I'll be out in SF next week, any recommendations on interesting audio types to visit? I would be very interested in listening to reasonably-intelligent reasonably-efficient (i have small listening room) non-horn set-ups??Thanks for any tips...

Hi Daniel, sorry yes i misunderstood you. But reading a bit what you guys mean... i must say Klaus' System encourages both in one. Exactly those words of like a cloud, alive, not from speakers, then his system is the first thing coming to my mind. Un...

It is not the size that matters. I do not have big listening room and I do not like “big listening rooms”. I have a room of reasonable dimensions for what I am planning to do. It rather is on the small side of the “big listening rooms”. However, I do...
|
|
Thanks Romy, PaulPaul, the i-phone app sounds interesting…sort of capturing the concept. With the audio map established, only minor room tweaks are required to assist overall room improvement (leading to Optimum Object Placement, or ‘OOP’). For e...

I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...
|
|
I am thinking that there is an explanation and it has to do with a narrow sweet spot, where the large system sums properly with reduced amount of chaotic room reflections, with a smeared timing. I noticed a similar effect with my system and if I redu...
|
|
Paul, You do raise an issue I was unclear about from Romy's post. If the aim is not to hear the music accurately but instead to be overwhelmed by it then some kind of sensory overload is the goal. This would be like putting an amplified band in a sm...
|
|
Jorge,interesting findings. However, the tall arrays with small woofers is actually worth exploring further based on your findings. I am theorizing, but perhaps the "smearing" effect you were finding in comparison to the midbass horn was due to the h...

If you put your speakers in the back extra bedroom, you could have your cake and eat it 2. You will have a normal living room and your headphones sound that you love from small room will be back and better then ever and it don't cost anything except ...

Another bogus idea.If a perfect upper bass could be achieved by means of spherical (approx. 1m diameter horn), what would be the next acceptable solution,if space considerations do not allow big horns? Perhaps that could be a line array of small dire...
|
|
My experience is what Romy would call primitive, but I did hear these horns and can only compare them to sound reproduction in general, not other horns. There was a sub as part of the scheme, don't know if it was actually part of the original d...

Hard to comment on this one... Seems like most everyone I talked to there hears with their eyes, and thought they were beautiful sculpture, therefore sounded wonderful... Maybe I should just be honest and say I flat didn't like the s...

I suggest you keep the old room in tact. Continue to rent the place maintaing it as a second listening room in the city. Do not move any equipment. Koshka may not like living in suburbs and become more cantankerous than she already is. Start with...

If there are summing modes that raise the SPL at certain low frequencies, then this may mean that treating the room modes will result in a chart that starts falling where the room modes now start, well above 28 Hz. Looking at the chart, this is what...

This is an article from Thomas Dunker's site (available in my Links Section) and presumably written by him. Although I slightly disagree with some of the statements he made about the horns “imaging” and some others but generally it is very good...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I'm not so critical as you to open baffles for midbass, tho, in fact I think they can be made to work quite well, if one doesn't have the room for midbasshorns. [/quote]
You suggest that open baffles might be more successful...

I'm not sure if yoy are aware of the fact that LED bulds have small but powerfull voltage converters inside operating at 40kHz or so, RF poluting the room and the lines. better avoid than filter.Halogen bulbs (halogen element packed in a normal bulb ...

Miab is correct about condensation issues and the need to consider what will go into conditioned vs. unconditioned spaces. And how much it costs will be decided by typical local costs for the project in question, with no consideration whatsoever for...

N-set, you have actually struck upon one of the difficulties of not being the designer and builder per se, only an actively interested commissioner of a bespoke system from a third party. I foresee logistical difficulties in building the system in a ...
