Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

Stefano Bertoncello's posted at his blog a comment about Tony’s playback. I do not know him; I guess he is an Italian fellow or somewhere near Italy.

Ok, as now all furniture that I need to be in my new

I resolved all dilemmas with video vs audio setup and now the main obstacle

Sine I finished the acoustic room treatment and the final setup of my playback in my new room I got good Sound. There are some minor aspects with which I will be working on – I know exactly what I need to do but they will be minor and incremental...

Hm, your advice to discard the Midbass time alignment and to
go to ULF time delay to catch up with Midbass timing is very interesting. Theoretically
I have no auditable sound from ULF. They are at 20Hz. As you understand there
is no way to align t...

It is interesting development going on in my listening room. Amy the Kitten is making her hands dirty to convert our man-cave nerdy house into something that we as a family would enjoy. With all horror that this move would inflict in the heart of...

I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.
Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn
above and a mid horn below and they are physically time aligned, meaning

A six year ago or so when I played with different compression drivers I bought a pair of Dukane 5A540 and at that time I was not able to find any information about them. Nowadays I was pointed out that an eBay sealer “ bayleafs” actions a pair of Duk...

Since my new tweeter will be arriving in a month or so I am slowing completing the ideas of finalizing the frame of my Macondo. Whoever dealt with 4-ways horn-lodes know that framing of this thing is quite tough. It should be functional and none-abus...

[quote user="drdna"]Thanks tuga. It is a nice article, but my French is a little rusty. It seems that he does very little more than explain the limitations of stereo versus binaural reproduction.

Ok, I do officially like this “Battle Road” hours. Upon many considerations (and there are 4 ways to implement the midbass horn in that room) I have inclined to my leading idea to do it elegant and with time alignment. The drawing below and a ab...

I am not a huge fun of S3 for MF use as the ceramic magnet is less interesting then alnico magnet for HF applications. For the low mid, or as I call it the Fundamental Channels the HF problem that ceramic has do not manifest themselves. My Fundamenta...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...
