[quote user="KS"]Thats the kind of stuff I was hoping for. I appreciate the help with this, there seems to be a scarcity of horn related discussion on the web and its proving hard to learn the ropes.One other unrelated question that could save me a l...

My thought is that you should ask John. He has the comparison, time and time over again.Horn response calculates pressure, but that has nothing to do with sound quality. Flooding a too small horn with too low frequencies is the sign of a beginner to ...

Hey I read around here of the importance of time aligning drivers, and am trying to build it into my horn frame, but I'm starting to wonder, if tweeter frequency wavelengths are around and inch long, wont I completely loose any alignment if I sit hal...

Yes Rommy I agree with most of your comments above. What I found interesting in the larger installation was the time alignment and the bass implementation. I do disagree with your statement of not stopping by to see the Hornfabrik demo room, as I bel...

[quote user="rowuk"]The Martion speakers ignore time alignment among other things.. How good can the bass be when the overtones are not even aligned?[/quote]I believe that particular system uses DSP rather than physical time alignment....

The people who have brain, ears and common since were always wondering why Goto-company always discarded time-alignment even as a subject. I personally always thought that it was just ignorance on the side of the Goto-company and the Goto-users ...

A. Wahlsten,this speaker is very well suited for time aligning physically. The more "DSP corrections" that we add, the worse things get. In addition, DSP time alignment can only be useful for one seating position and distance from the speaker. It doe...

on used market from time to time and also were made by speakerlab and yes I only thought of bass bins nothing else. Why misaligned?Your old straight mid-bass in the wall speakers were not misaligned and K horns positioned right may fall into perfect...

The idea of using this type of midbass horn seems good, but I don’t see a solution for time alignment of the horn with the other channels. You have a freedom to physical align it if it is placed in the same vertical plane with upperbass mouth, but th...

Sure, if you don't hear too many problems over time, or if you are easily able to deal with any problems with the drivers remaining in the original cabinets, then you have what you wanted. Same for "time alignment" by measuring voice coil distance to...

2) Complete randominisation of time aliment. Eugenie is not juts misaligned driver but has 200 sources of mis-aliment in very unsystematic pattern. What Eugenie done was created a sort of Phases Brownian Motion wh...

Romy:I learn something new today.Let me ask this then -- when you see multiway horns, where the throats and openings are all over the place, I often see you comment "these people do not know anything about time alignment". I thought it was because yo...

hi RomyNice bias battery gimmick for the el-caps!But, i see the hardcore analogue teams are having a hard time with room modes and time alignment :)I wonder what it takes to admit one day that you can’t neglect DSP anymore, and just having so much ea...

This week Romy was kind enough to invite me over for a few days for some Apprentice work and philosophizing. As I alluded above, my Apprenticeship contribution consisted principally of moving some audio gear, searching for some esoteric stuff hidden ...

[quote user="JLH"] Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers. [/quote]
This exactly what is the most fun in that system! Sometime people do not do the time alignment because it...

I have today a local audio guy stop by at my place for some listening. He never was in my new place and was curios what have done with my new room and my new installation; he was in my old room. When I asked him to criticize what he heard he mention ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Stefano, it is funny that you have mentioned the “an old, little cinema in a small town”. I do not know if you did it unintentionally or you meant as some kind of sarcastic self-deprecated joke. What I mean is that the init...

[quote user="noviygera"] 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 alig...

Thanks Romy for showing us this work and the thoughts of its creator(s).I'll say it again; the world needs more people like these guys: Human creativity remains the only saving grace of an otherwise pathetic species. It would be most excellent if Kl...

Yes, I promised to tell about, so here is comes.
The past Sunday I woke up at 6AM and first intention to answer to myself what is wrong with my ULF. I had wonderful sound with absolutely wonderful and the most important very proper bass. Howe...

Zanon, I do understand the sarcasm you would like to express. From one side I insist the people are clueless based upon that fact that they have not aliened diaphragms and from another side I pitch that the perfect alignment might be accomplished onl...

Well, you for sure did make a valid argument but from my
point of view the argument even valid but not definitive. You see, when you are
a baby and you crap in whatever you are wearing then you for sure do it because
you do not have an association...

Haralanov, I guess you mean to say disconnect the tweeter on one side of your playback? not the whole left side of the playback...When you use compression drivers it is very important to design the horn taking care of the high frequency response. ...
