Collin,I am pleased that you found my suggestions worthwhile.
I approached the issue of your music room with two questions in mind:1- How to avoid the structural angle from interfering with the sound2- Would an enlarged room be worthwhile...

Having a big window in front at night it becomes like a big mirror, some might get self conscious about it! JA The thing about glass is that it eats up bass and reflects highs like crazy, having said that, some of the best rooms I listened to, had...

Thanks Romy,Yes, I received your advice in the past privately regarding proper size for 1808 enclosure, and I thank you for pointing me in right directions. Yes, sealed box is simple calculation using e.g., WinISD. I am experimenting with&n...

[quote user="Rewind"]Macman: Maybe your tapped horns were too small. Speedysteve is absolutely in love with his, and you and him have a very similar setup with your 15" upper midbass horn and all.[/quote]Yes, Im sure you could make them better. I bel...

Hi Murat,Personally, I would re-think the tapped horns being physically incorporated with the rest of the system. To start, from what I understand (I don't use a tapped horn) because they use both the front and the rear of the driver for sound, they...

I have my passive crossovers arrived. They are built by hornFabrik. Everything is up to the spec I asked for and I really like their build quality. As of yesterday, I have now a more promising sound towards what I have aimed for. They are first order...

Hi everyone,Ive been tracking this exciting conversation for some days. One from outside may think this is weird, we are making a lot of air about some sound-description without getting to the point. Im (or was) normally more rational. And if I read ...

I have just today received the Sansui TU-X1 and set it up in my system. It is very unusual sounding compared to other tuners I have heard.It is very detailed and has excellent tonal balance. It is accurate, but in a softly natural way, an...

Adrian, is the room raised floor or a slab? If the former, then wall-mount makes sense, especially for a TT. If slab, then you have more options, as far as spreading things around. Soft carpet or hard flooring factors, too. Yo...

Hey, what do you know? We got that 1908 Mason and Hamlin. It was delivered last night and I have made Any to play for me my Mikael Tariverdiev's Memories sonata. The Mason does need some work and our technician told that she will do it in a week of s...

If it is possible to generalize which group of individuals in audio possess maximum amplitude of idiocy and at the same time archived the minimum audio result then unquestionably the leading position would be belong the audio industry marketing boys ...

[quote user="skushino"] I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is this correct?
Maybe you're right. But here is wh...

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...

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it needs to be measured. I dis...

[quote user="Jorge"] I need to care just one octave at my 25Hz bump,I have tried the same solution in a big room, the thing is that we not only got output at 25 hz, but a lot also at 50 hz! There was no way surgically cut it to what we needed and the...

I must say that I have always thought the Cardas "Golden Ratio" schtick was pretty lame. So it was with no small measure of trepidation that I sent off a rather outlandish sum of money for two Cardas Golden Whatever 4.7 uF caps for th...

[quote user="drdna"]…AND since the exact frequencies affected by HF loss of the Finalizer and the frequencies covered by the tweeter adjustment are not likely to be exactly the same, then when the tweeter is adjusted to correct the HF loss frequencie...

Hi Romy, 'tis been awhile, but my friend Neil alerted me to this discussion, and thought I might contribute to it. While this segment of my TAD 'Whitepaper' deals with only the bugscreen, there are many other …" evolved results…" that, to my ear, and...

The more I looking and thinking about the pool of available idea and properties then more I come to a “ridicules” conclusion that I most likely will not find what I need and what I like. The point is that if I combine my requirement for not suspended...

OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.
I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...

This gentleman's set-up makes me think very much of the one I have in mind for my new room in due course. Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabu...

Again, none of the pneumatic methods would work as any pneumatic leak air with time and it will be no access to it after the horns are installed and the walls are finished. Not mention that we have no high to play wit. We will be doing the follo...

The only reason I don't have a giant WE system is that I can't afford it and I don't have room. I sold all of my WE and Lansing field coil gear to my Silbatone friend back in 1989, because I know he would never sell it, he was putting together a ser...

Well, yes... I've not been to prison in over two years! Apart from keeping me off the streets at night, the results when listening to one of the 40Hz horns were, dare I say, encouraging, though I do hesitate to say so, as the "evaluation" was carried...

[quote user="noviygera"] Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by...
