Thanks Romy,I was hoping to hear that you remain happy with your midbass solution and was surprised at the time about the small cabinets that you used for the Vitavox 15"ers, but having measured T/S parameters of the drivers here I can see that indee...

Sitting in my couch, smoking my cigar, playing Shostakovich quartets and studying my new P&S agreement I discover that it will be sad to lose this listening room. This room is small but such a capable and able for such such intimate sound tha...

Thanks guys for advice but I have my own view on the subject. The new listing room if it goes through has many very good features that I do appreciate very much. Even the integration of the room with the rest of the house is absolutely perfect, ...

[quote user="jeff1225"]I never understood the affinity that the Germans have for heavy metal. Whenever you going into any of their rooms at CES (especially MBL), Slayer is playing at 130 DB. Maybe it's the modern interpretation of Wagner.[/quote] Jef...

Thanks for this one Romy, very interesting...it sorta ties together several things that I have been thinking about lately. I guess I am lucky that the Bass Cannons can be run off 9w from the DSET bottom channel and from memory I get about 115dB at 1...

I see, let me to explain how the this work all together the you will be able to make your own judgement. Let look at the functional purpose of the emails in there. The R1 resistor is a loading resistor. This is understandable. It makes sense to kee...

Yes, Utopia was demoed in a large room. However:
1) Amplification: and yes, Boulder amplifiers were used. Good observation, but I don't understand why you think they would be a bad choice. I thought they quite complemented the Gra...

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

And as one of the other perpetrators...The nature of this kind of thing is compromise. The owner of the bass horn system wanted to run them together, for the enlarged horn mouth, and so we did - there was never going to be enough time to play about ...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

We have two models with different upper bass horns, one is indeed a 140hz horn (77 cm diameter) and the original, bigger horn at 110 hz (92 cm diameter) Both tactrix both made from the same materials (MDF) and finished in the same automotive finish.T...

So it sounds like you're considering a move...Romy wrote :"...As I understand you in the middle of your midbass horn project were forced (or whatever reasons were) to move to new house..." My old place would have been perfect for the large horns. T...

user="steverino"] 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.

Steverino, I think that your

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

Hm, it is complicated. In context of ported enclosure (or passive radiator) it is imposable to talk seriously about the box resonance as a speaker/driver has no own sound but rather a summation of zillion resonances, aftersounds and the rest dirt tha...

I had once visited these sites:
"We make two different sizes of drivers: 5 and 9 inch. As can be expected, the 9 inch has a larger sound, the 5 inch has a slightly greater finesse in the high frequencies. Please choose according to your room size, ...

I am pretty happy with how high temperature handling is happening in my room. Not perfect but still pretty good. As Summer eventually came to New England and my room hit 85 some thoughts become to hatch and pop up in my head. I would like to share s...

Robert, Yes, of cause I understand it. The problem is that when I laid down the pipes under the midbass horns there was no larger diameter available then 6” pipes, there was no more clearance under the mouth. So, my listening room has two 6” pipes an...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

Yesterday was a truly wonderfully
day. I spent the whole day to play with playback, had a LOT of fun with it found
some unexpectedly good solutions that made me very excited.
The project with IB is
over, the result is surprisingly good. ...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Tube traps are mistakably designed as they tend to deal with a very erroneous assertion that it is possible to feel a listening room with some kind of confused and random bass and then to correct the things with...

It looks to me that I will be able to live with my 6 driver
line array. Again no measurements were made but it is what it “looks”. Sound-wise it is very reputable and I just might
leave it as is. My current room is 6 larger to what I had in downto...

Consigned to the root cellar? In such a small space, "cranking it up" is a relative term, but I think this could be more interesting than headphones. Anyway, there's no substitute for trial and error. I would say, basically, use a good front end a...

I feel strange tonight. I woke up at 2.30AM to feed the diabolically-smiling baby and as Thomas went back to sleep I keep walking back and forth of the listening room for 2 hours, having quite bewildering feelings. As Amy the Kitten moved with me we ...
