[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What I question: A rectangular mid-range horn... Why? [/quote]In consistency with Occam's razor principle I think that they went for rectangular mid-range horn become they layout of the speaker called upon it. I di...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There were some educational for myself observations made, in some way saying something about this specific DHT, in some way saying something about Melquiades’ single stage version and the Melquiades’ full-range two-stages ...

Rakesh,Thank you for your kind remarks. I appreciate the close scrutiny you have given my previous post but I think you are at a stage of system design where many basics of your system should be considered and evaluated before the issues of my po...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

I would like to think a little about the monitors. A monitor is kind of bogus name but useful. I usually call a loudspeaker that is not floor standing as a monitor. Sometime they called bookshelf but I hardly image any loudspeaker on a bookshelf…

I've been thinking about this matter for a while but could not find a better excuse to formulate my theory then in this topic. My simple theory is that if we reduce our concept of "music" the more fundamental concept of "sound" as point of reference ...

Hi Amir,your english is just fine.I think that there is an additional factor that your formula needs. Sense of pitch is not determined acoustically by "Q" unless we are talking about pure sine waves. When we add the overtones found on real musical in...

LBJ, now that you ask, it's funny to say here that I first ran across both G-10 and Micarta for use as knife handles. I really dig the tactile qualities of these materials, especially G-10, and I thought my high-end customers might like them as...

It is nice that you report that they “sound fine compared to most of the crap at the show”, whatever it means. I was informed that Silbatone did not do anything original. They used Western Electric 594 and 597 drivers, both low voltage filed coils. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Arno, I am sorry but I am not quite following what you would like to hear from me. I am sure you are involved in a fascinating project and I truly wish you to have fun to render it. Unfortunately I do not like the speaker ...

Dear Romy,I performed the following tests:Test 1.Digital CD source OFF;Digital Domain DD-2 processor OFF;Lavry DA-924 OFF;Sansui TU-X1 ON and set to FM output;Custom tube amplifier ON volume HIGH;ESL-57 speaker arrays ON;Result: no interference and n...

I listened to this talk up to the beginning of the question-and-answer session. I am surprised that this method would really capture the essence of Romy's almighty DPOLS condition. It seems to me that Robbins is very much centered on imaging alone, a...

The query is, if to keep this acceptble but LF challenged speaker (Dannoy) as-is, then how to add LF without wrecking what's good about this speaker. Probably worth another listen to Romy's most recent YouTube post on the matter, as he actually, lite...

Dear Romy, thank you for your opinion. Did you see and hear them if you are talkig about the quality? In Munchen High End Exhibition 2016 Evolution speakers celebrates big success in demo with KRaudio Kronzilla amp.http://positive-feedback.com/show-r...

I have also designed my bass horn to operate between 160hz and 600hz and it will use a supravox 285-2000. It is a 110hz cutoff tractrix horn. However I found out that, there is a modified version of this driver that suits my purposes better. It is by...

I have had similar impressions to other speakers using these drivers. For example I found the top of the line Avalon Eidolon diamond to be similarly colorless and lifeless. Also a pair of Vaic speakers (designed by the guy from Lumenwhite...

|
Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

I'm very inexperienced but I still try to observe things around me carefully. Here's what I'm getting at what can be potentially pretty good.. Well, all I can really say is I've been mostly interested in the design implementations of companies such a...

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...

I already have some PY500 (it's a sign =))) ) and I have 836 too.I read about Malquiade amplifier threads.So it seem peoples on this forum like horn speakers (I love them too) and are looking for fast transient response, it's exactly what I like.But ...

With the talk about fuses, I think I'll chime in to mention that I did several years ago a lot of experimentation with different metals and their effect on sound, which was based on listening sessions with myself and a group of music lovers and musi...

Hi movingcoilguy,I have the original specifications for the RS/DD/12 (Aluminium coil - superb speaker!)Do you still require the info? I can scan them for you, if you do.Wharfdale specified 3 or 4 different boxing options, ranging from socially accept...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

I noticed quite a few speakers, various configurations, that sounded more like a collection of nice drivers wired together that what I would call a "speaker." I mean that you could clearly hear distinct tone, character differences between each ...

It doesn't seem prudent to look at the speaker without considering the amplifier at all. We would be designing a speaker that would work with a theoretical amp -- but not one that's available.I propose the following:Characteristics of many commercial...

Moreart, Since you are soliciting public opinions then I would like to say that I very much do not like what you do. Calculate the area of your horn mouth and you get up to what region you have equalization from horn. Everything else is a regular di...

What is it, 4 years gone now since I got the ML2s? After all my groaning about tube sockets, cheap caps and Russian tubes, I have to say these amps have gotten downright comfortable! Over time I have even come to take these amps for granted, which ...

[QUOTE]So what is high end audio, then? I know for some it is the quest for
the perfect soundstage, but let us exclude them for the moment. Rather,
is it a way for us to become more connected to the Sound? In a sense,
like a crutch for an invalid ...
