Glad you came around to my way of thinking. Without actually hearing "X" it is kind of silly to have strong and well formed opinions about X's sound.If "Lowther" is used as a generic name for single driver speaker, then it is impossible to have a mea...

I've been thinking about how I am going to wire these Bass Cannons as well as the horns on the horn stack. For some time now I have preferred ribbon/foil speaker cables for the relatively low sensitivity speakers I have been using. The reason I bel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I succeed to make my midbass horn at attic then I will face another problem that I do not know how to address at this point. The horns will be powered from Melquiades bass channels – it means it will use a good 70 feet s...

[quote user="rowuk"]In my over 50 years of personal audio, I think that I can explain part of the speaker/amp compatibility. This opinion is everything but comprehensive.Bad matches in amp/speakers manifest themselves very often in the bass. Please c...

[quote user="Markus"]Interesting take on the Altec 820. No way can this be done for 20k. Looks like dipole bass with some attenuation for mid frequencies.[/quote] Markus, the price of this thing might be anything they want. They can set if $100K and ...

[quote user="zanon"]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 ro...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

I think I am correct, but the problem is directly related to loudspeaker impedance. I did the first round of calculations by hand and when I got the results I searched the web for a calculator that someone has made so that I did not have to write it...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

With the omnidirectivety paranoia many people might loose from attention that fact that in order to be good omnidirectional speaker the RAAL new speaker has to be just a good conventional speaker first. The new RAAL speaker (does it have a name?) as ...

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

[quote user="steverino"]I agree that the published curves don't look bizarre for a box speaker. [/quote] Hmmm, I would like to note that my reference to "given topology" did not imply the "box speaker". Even a multichannel box speaker might have opt...

Well, I guess I have to pass some observations about the new Living Voice Vox Olympian.
I did not listen them, did not talk to the people who behind the Living Voice and all that I know about them are the Six Moans articles and a few threads ...

When listening to stereo, we initially have 4 images to deal with. Th right speaker to the right ear, the right speaker to the left ear, the left speaker to the right ear and the left speaker to the left ear. Broader images can be made when we “cance...

I am glad to hear you do care what your speaker system looks like, or should I say, will admit you care.MACONDO is about the best looking speaker system I have ever seen. It is the embodiment of van der Rohe's dictum of form following function. It ...

Romy,there are box-speaker manufacturers that use exactly this approach, so nothing is so new about it. I think Karma and Evolution Acoustics speaker (also layered construction) come to mind, see below.As to CNC routering, it needs a CNC cutting ...

[quote user="drdna"]
So, I am of the opinion that most anyone can hear the differences. We just don't understand the physics of why it makes a difference. Just make sure you do it in a double blinded fashion, and be ready to accept that some...

I think the most room friendly and the most universal Danley speaker is the SM60. It has a 5 inch coax and two 8 inch bass speaker in a tricky molded horn, and small, light enough to use it with a standard telescopic pro speaker stand and keep it abo...

New models - "Universe" speaker and AMT waveguide....

Yes, this Model 19's have brand new foam surround and brand new refinish grills. I know what kind rebound distortions those kind of horns create without surround foam but the miserly that they crate is much more than this. I do not know what kind cr...

This project sounds like Rubriks cube. You have all of the ingredients and 43,252,003,274,489,855,999 chances to get it "wrong". None of those parts guarantees anything special and they all offer plenty of miserable possibilities......I personally ca...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

I have seen that people online react surprisingly to my post above. Hey are accustom that I am hyper-demanding and tough for production of DIY speaker attempts but above I suddenly proposed to relatively mediocre speaker to become the become th...

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

For the sake of helpfullness, I think that we may separate the differences of the ported speaker designs of myself and Petar. What I have described is the standard, pedistrian model of a vented speaker. Petar's is a hybrid aperiodic-...
