Romy,
I'm very pleased to learn that you've got your Injection Channel done.
I assume the above illustration is not indicative of the way you have the Tannoy Red aligned with regard to the other drivers, as it appears to be sitting out in front...

Jarek, my experience affirms that many “listening rooms”
are overdamped, and you can always put a rug or rugs on the wooden flooring
where you want it/them. And I have been able to get good sound in weird rooms.
Basically, regarding rooms, “to...

Yes, of course, I was using 20Hz as some reference only. It's Fs of the ScanSpeak. Tannoy is the only active speaker so all power comes (or not) from it. From your experience with Reds, where does its reasonable output end?
Like...

Rowuk, there is many implications of the incompleteness. The
systems not being able to verify itself is just one of them, it is how he
proved it. I less care about the proof methodology but the care about the
outcome from it. One of them is that i...

Mani, sorry, but I forget if you mentioned very specific size limitations. I have enjoyed in spates but am generally wary of "big sound from small boxes", as this invariably wears thin, eventually requiring not only a tiring stretch of the imaginati...

To follow up on Romy's latest broadcast on his visit to my house.My left and right speakers consist of Jl Audio 113 revision 2 subs to 70 Hz., Edgar 50 Hz. 6 foot Straight horns with two 12 inch electravoice drivers each to 500 Hz, Edgar round mid ho...

I have treated you decent on the Tannoy Yahoo Group. Now look how you treat me here.
You have again disqualified yourself. I am very sorry to see this happen, I did not think you do this.
:-(
Kind regards,

I may have a point on this
some years ago, I had some confidence with the owner of a shop, and he let me use the demo equipment, though in fact my budget didn´t allow to buy him more than a few cheap things.one day I was psycothic listenig to s...

Oh, rowuk, you have no idea how much I agree. To me passive theaters very much like ports and I hated anything which stay even remotely close to it. However, this time the entire Remedios project is is very different s s is built not based upon knowl...

While I have heard the terms static dynamics, micro and macro dynamics, I have never heard of dynamic dynamics. Are you referring to the term “changing dynamics”, which means a volume change, either gradual or instantaneous. What was missing yesterda...

Romy, it’s selfunderstood (at least to me) that the project is in its infancy and you are on terra incognita. Im trying to visualize what was „the last working configuration”.

[quote
user="anthony"]Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an
entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them
before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the
crossover so that it matches the...

Yes a few ridiculous requests and statements there indeed. Full ridiculousness intended.
I know Dunnoy needs a lot of power and low impedance amp. My aims are not the same as yours here as I'm not concerned to...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

I moved your post into a separate thread as I think your post about a subject, contrary to the thread where it was moved from was about the virgin fantasies… [quote user="Ronnie"] I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I'...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]One of the emails that I receive is very interesting. The author warns: “...when experimenting with throaths I found that if the compression is big, near 2 or higher you get some big, smooth, unfocused aqualung sound. You...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

I'm also of the opinion that the bass is one of the most critical and most challenging parts of playback. Not talking about quantity, but rather the quality of bass reproduction. My approach has been to split the bass in two parts - Low and...

[quote user="rowuk"]In Macondo/Melquiades thinking, random process means random result - and that is exactly what happened with Dunnoy. A random driver was placed in a random cabinet with a random passive radiator and random cabinet damping. All subs...

Edgar, I completely miss you in all of your findings and I also was thinking about 15-in toy with a pair of sunspeak passive radiators. Indeed, Tannoys reinforced by sanspeak passive radiators is a magical configuration. I wonder do you dri...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I wonder: does it mean that you will take the rest 28 drivers? Hm, are you trying to research the subject of the drivers’ critical mass or become a speaker maker? Be careful with their claims that they will be “manufactured...

Prior to three days ago, i was almost ready to give up on the Dannoy's as I couldn't get close to the sound heard at Romy's with his setup of the same speakers. Then i was able to add my newly obtained Yamaha B2 amps, and was once m...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

I kind of disagree with Adrian. The wire, the coupling caps, the cathode resistors and many other things are superbly important but it is after the strategic topology is settled. In my view caps, resistor, wire and other things are responsible for th...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 22...
