I am slowly growing up. It probably takes more time than it should (I am almost 40) but better late than never. Anyway, I finally realised that the only way to get me a good pair of speakers is build one for my taste and my room. So I tried and built...

[quote user="decoud"] It seems there is broad agreement here with what I take to be Romy's position, which is that one cannot have a sophisticated understanding of music reproduction if one does not have a sophisticated knowledge of music. [/quote]

I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management do you use? Kris...

Romy just a quick post, after the Munich show I had the oppurtunity to spend a few hours listening to Ralph Krebs home system, the Cessaro Gamma's, super sound, the antithesis of almost everything I heard at the MOC, regards Keith....

Romy Hi, Raplh uses a 300b push pull, but the power supplies are massive, parts alone 15K Euros, each channel has a separate supply, the pre-amp again two massive power supplies , he prefers to use eight of the horn loaded bass bins, although I...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="Paul S"] As a certified non-expert I wonder about 1st order XO with the tweeter, because of the phase issue. Probably stupid, but I always figured that at 180 degrees you could just switch the wires... Do I remember reading somewhe...

As I have finished remodeling my new Opera room:

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

The EdgarHorn Titan is a very well made speaker, but I have identified in it a limitation in the midrange where the frequency response may not be ideal. This will become clear after I have analyzed the speakers with RTA.
Thinking ahead, I want to...

I notice the same warming up effect on my system, takes a few hours. And I thought... could it be the speakers warming up? ...

Dear All,I wish to commence gathering the components and finding the craftsmen necessary for my DIY speaker project, but wished to bring my proposal before this forum in order to establish whether it's intrinsically worthy, and whether any simple imp...

I guy that I know invited me a few way back to listen a new speaker that he brought from a Plaishner , the Switzerland manufacturer. The company make own flat loudspeakers and now they looks like parley to making speakers. This is very innovative des...

In one if the Brits forums rowuk wrote
about Linaeum diapole tweeters:“Give them their own amplifier, then the efficiency does not
matter. Great amps are not that expensive and with the standard distribution of
acoustical energy, the tweeter does ...

Rommy,Have you seen these speakers yet? Hornfabrik out of Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL6O8wa4OeIThey seem to be doing several things right with the larger installation....

Romy, i hope this post doesn't offend your sensibilities. I am not gonna say a word about the physics principles that have led me to the conclusion that this is something that should be tried ( unless you ask of course ).
The idea i have is...

Having tried many types of coils nothing was as transparent as the NORTH CREEK 8 gauge air core coils.I do not think you will be happy with the JANTZEN or any other using a metal core.They are much cheaper than the NORTH CREEK and look better. I, too...

I generally like what the Polish people did. Of cause from sonic perspective their system with misaligned tweeters is unacceptable but I very much like how they curved both midbass horn and tweeter fame – very tasteful. Design-wise in this configura...

Romy, on Fundamentals channel did you leave the 20uF cap at speaker level or did you re-configure that band pass at line level?Are the RC feeds you mention pre-driver or interstage for A, B and C?Is everything still 1st order?Can you say already...

Romy, can/will you compare and contrast the two implementations according to what you hear?Best regards,Paaul S...

Romy, do you still have the "bass traps" from your previous house? I also hate an "over-damped" room, but it might be useful to know more about the "character" of the room modes you have mentioned. Sure, the 60 Hz plagues everyone. The RTA will te...

I'm sorry, I thought I mentioned that I was responding to the earlier post about HF, up the thread. I guess I misunderstood from other reading that you much preferred your crossovers at line level, while I was proposing it a...

Well, You really need to figure out what you want out of your speakers. There are some questions I would ask myself if I were in your position:1. You can eliminate a lot of speakers based on their size, since they should be mat...

At this point I think that the main advantage of efficient speakers is that they represent the best chance for a sort linearity that to my knowledge can't be gotten any other way. It seems like inefficient drivers simply do not sound the s...

Romy:I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair.I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the room? Do you place speake...

All below is written by Thomas Dunker
Yeah, "sound consistent independent of signal level" is a very precise way to sum up my whole speaker philosophy. Anything that is assumed to be constant, but which actually changes with signal dynamics is what ...
