Another thing to consider here is a specific reason or reasons to use the "PR Type" Scanspeaks as subs, since Romy says outright that the Dannoy's PR cones have "no ouput", but the (rather amemic) LF from the Dannoy'ed Tannoy is all there is from the...

These are Romy's original boxes and scanspeak used as passive radiator. I have purchased 10 inch tannoy reds with their crossovers to replace Romy's which I have given back to him. My Trinnov is doing a 24 dB Linkowitz Reilly crossover at 80 Hz. To m...

hi romy, thanks for invite and one of these days I will come by with the guigal cote rotie, st. marcelin cheese and a few cigars thatwe can still buy legally. The non-horn idea was for a second system in a very large room and i want a store bought s...

Yes, the way you came up with the Dunnoy is FUNNY! But I will tell you now that I was thinking of the 10" Tannoy for the reverb channels, not because it "does everything well", but because it is acceptable in terms of scale, and it has tone, and it m...

[quote user="Chirag"] Still, I do miss the dynamic lower MF of the 15" woofer...[/quote] Well, this is it. I really do not know what it is and I (and you) call it “dynamics” but it might be something else that juts appears like dynamics… I did not pl...

[quote user="Wojtek"]These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ?...

Perhaps on a given planet it might make sense to use a Tannoy DMT 10 or Sterling HE as the Oops channel AND the Always On Channel, just by swapping or switching the cables, per function? I mention it because these are two potenti...

Hi Romy, I had a background system for a while using either Kef 103.2 or tannoy gold 15¨ and McIntosh MC2205. I don't know anything about the other McIntosh gear but this particular amp had a reputation amongst french vintage nuts. My old Threshold...

The toilet paper is Romy's way of moderating the tweeter by a dB or two.Cannot load the photo. The box is about 3x11/2x1 foot with the Tannoy driver above the one Vitavox....

My room, is 16 to 17 feet wide, 27 to 28 feet long by 12 to 14 feet high with all walls splayed, with a combination of absorption and diffusion on the walls. All electronics are fed electricity by three pure power units originally recommended by Rom...

My comments are rather discouraging arn't they! Not my intention but hopefully helpful in the long run. Regarding time alignment i just wanted to raise the point i think it might be more relevant than initially anticipated by someone considering buil...

Got a Hi-Fi Mini System. It was one of those Mini System that is conceded “great”, including by some of my “trusted” friends. Well, the “great” Mini System turned out to be quite crappy sounding, even for those $250. Was trying to run with the Mini S...

Actually it is good that you reminded me about the Tannoys as behind my recent paranoia with the “Water Drop” tweeter I forgot about the beauty that blessed my life. I am taking about the “older” Tannoy’s tweeters. What is magnificent sound!
I’m not...

Yes, it's might be interesting. I was thinking about it when I had both systems back to back. It was superbly interesting time for me. The decisions to remove Macondo from my listening room was a result of unadulterated anger I felt because in my...

Impossible. A passive radiator can NOT change its tuning frequency on the fly. It is a Helmholz resonator - one single tuning frequency. It is also NEVER in phase, it is always late as it takes several cycles to ...

Another tool used by sound pros is LEAP. The guy who designed my BassZillas (some time ago) used this tool to make the most of a BR enclosure. As for the Fostex (U)HF, the pros tend to correct them digitally, as they need "something". Mainly, did you...

Not Amplitude. It's the rock solid phase linearity. It feels like a brick wall all the way up and down. I haven't looked at any graphs and haven't measured anything but that is my guess. There is no question of the great tone of vintage Tannoy but al...

Bill, you have made lots of changes in a "short" time period. I hope you kept track of all of it. Knowing nothing about your sound, I can only repeat that Romy said the Dannoy sonic fulcrum was the interaction between FR Tannoy and "passive" Scanspea...

Jarek, I don't know your iteration of Tannoy Red specifically, but if the surround is a pleated continuation of the paper cone then you can't be too careful. It often happens that the paper under the coating is no longer very strong, and it can susta...

[quote user="Chirag"] My Tannoy 10" sealed box (not tannoys cheap boxes) ….[/quote]Chirag,
As I’m learning you was quite wrong in this. Can you tell me more bout the box for your Reds and why fill feel the Tannoy’s original box did not satisfy you?T...

Romy, I agree that it is not necessary to spend that amount of money to get good sounding speakers. But in the real life situation you'll have to pay for design, quality, manufacturing and of course... good sound. Let's take the Tannoy Westminster Ro...

I finally set it up new Tannoy Red best Twitters. They are sealed irregular shape and purely themselves do not sound bad. They do not have the full range feeling as they had with passive radiator and had a typical red sound of late Autumn leaves....

Just turned on the TV to put on some YouTube while preparing to belatedly give Macondo a cleanup and right there was your new video...lost 45mins of cleaning time though, and those Bass Cannons take a lot of cleaning!Turns out the Red 10" pair I purc...

Hi Romy,thanks for your message. I wasn´t aware that Japan made so many different horn speakers back in the days. Looks like they knew what they did...I like these horns a lot :) They are by far not that involving and musical like my Tannoy Monitor G...

Interesting that someone has mentioned Tannoys in context of the upperbass thread. I still wait that someone with sane taste and unadulterated perception of results would load a LF section of Tannoy Red or Silver into a front-loaded 70Hz -80Hz horn a...

I long suppposed the whole thing hinged on a sort of dither effect, like the PurePower thingee. And I think this is at least some of what happens with "injection channels", including the root concept of what we are actually discussing in this thread...
|
|
The idea just came to my mind and it is in a way brilliant. It is not implementable in my playback because my Injection Channel is driver by 1/6 of 6ch Milq and because my Injection Channel is high-passed. However the idea is still conceptually very...

I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound

...you are too categorical and are on the boundary to be phanatical... Everybody and his ears. You can be sure I listened and owned many kinds of amps and my friend built some 40-50 non-Sakuma amps before he began with trans coupling and built anothe...
