[quote user="jamikl"] On most music I listen to my very average gear is OK but loses it as the complexity ofthe music increases. [/quote]
It is not only with your gear. Most of audio systems fall apart with increase of musical complexity.

In this thread I would like to talk a bit about the practice in DSET driven multi-way horns configuration.
I have expressed my view that the architectural configuration that Macondo and Super Melquiades end up to be I find is the most interest...

I sincerely feel that all those conversations about space
and the rest of the Audio G-spot words are irrelevant until people who engage
in conversation are exposed to a properly implemented Auro 3d or any other objects-oriented

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

A few days ago I visited a local friend of mine. He has a decent audio setup in his living room with mid-size monitors. Leaving aside what sound he is getting just would note that I know what to expect in his room. This time it was a bit more the...

[quote user="morricab"]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. Personally, ...

It was yesterday around 4 PM – I viciously took it off and decided never use it again. I was listening Brahms German Requiem with James Levine and BSO – a phenomenal performances in my view and one moment after being offended by each note the F...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Sand damping it beautiful, it is well-recognized, but you do pay cost for it, in your case the cost is space. [/quote]I know that Romy… but without the massive amounts of sand, there are always some vibrations felt when I t...

Hm, this is interesting.
I have my 2 shitty temporary monitors in Hamster position sublimated with a par of LF sections from MiniMe. They are not perfectly set up but quite listenable in it’s ad-hoc configuration driver by consumer PP SS amp. Here ...

*** I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with the...

In Tehran we have classic concert in two halls , Vahdat Hall and Roodaki Hall . the classic music is not very active in tehran.

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...

[quote user="tuga"]I too am very tuned into Romy's Unvollendete. The way I see it, it somehow synthesizes the way an evolved person (which we all aspire to become someday) approaches a work of art.
And I agree that "a certain" system could somehow...

[quote user="twogoodears"]I'm pretty interested in yr. opinion about the possible choice of best, safest, smoothest way to use solid-state amp/low-end with "Triamp"... ok... 3-channells DSETs... and my system upper ways... what slope do you think...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Romy's comments on "axial rotation" of the horns (meaning in this case, angling the horns) has me thinking. I had planned to build in a vertical tilt adjustment for horns located near the floor and ceiling... I woul...

... or wondering if it has any new insight into horn design.I did not read the book but I find funny that person who presumably do not “believe” in horn write a review about the presumably horn related book. It would be similar to ask a blind person ...

It took a LOT of time in CAD using what I had learnt from building the power supplies and then adapting it to match the requirements of the rest of the system. I have decided to mount the DSET on the horn stack and direct connect the speaker cables....

Now I re-listen all the things the we try to measure. To surmised everything I have to tell that Dima’s way to looks for optimum operation point of the tube (setting balance for voltage vs. current sufficiency) turned out to be very successful as I d...

I had today time and pleasure to spend some time to listen
my Dunlavy SC-III with TN51 tweeter and a new 3K tweeter crossover. What a marvelous
change! As I said above the Dunlavy instantly cot converted from corky cult product
to a truly magnific...

RowukI have fully read all pages of this topic (mad mad mad electricity) two times and I know good sound does not come from pure sinewave .I should say I am here (like a student) to learn more and I do not like spread my in-complete BS ideas here.I r...

Paul, it is unquestionable that there are specific properties that set specific compatibility between audio elements but what is important to understand is that word “synergy” was specifically invented in audio by sales personal in order do not recog...

I had a good listening session this Sunday. The Tchaikovsky
5 and Mahler 3rd. I shut down my ULF and was listening just with the
rest of the system. I was thinking what the hell I can do with lower knee of my
midbass. I absolutely adore what Vitav...

Romy,In the diyaudio thread on EnABL I cover the Hemp acoustics FR 4.5 C and the Lowther A45. Both drivers in your size range.Since EnABL does not measurably alter any compression wave characterisitcs of the piaton mode tests, except for phase shift ...

[quote user="Paul S"] If Marko "needs" 3rd order, is somerthing else amiss? [/quote]It is not amiss but an area where the things should be explored. What I like about horns that they have very little ambiguity and if everything is done “properly” the...

Jessie, a few comments.
The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn? Since you most likely will not drive your upperbass all the way down I think that the back chamber mechanism will be more effectiv...

Actually I do not have the instability issue sorted out completely...I'm talking about circuit instability now, not the tube instability. Let us imagine all tubes are rock stable.As I see it there are at least two major sources of instability, in the...
