[quote user="rowuk"] Need of Time alignment, in my opinion is an "acquired" taste like
with cigars, good wine or cognac. It is the product of an investment in time,
purpose and result. [/quote]
Hm, not necessarily, it has nothing to do with acquir...

Putting together a speaker system that ticks all your boxes is a lot like doing anything else well: it is fine to experiment in order to find your range and learn your options but once you choose a path you must stick to it. Chopping and changing i...

The ideal horn system would have to be well integrated into the room, acoustically as well as optically/cosmetically. As far as a commercial venture goes, I believe that Marc Henrys "La Grand Castine" was already (except for the ULF dipole panel) ver...

In his latest YouTube,Romy mentioned using my prepro to time align my drivers.I use the Trinnov Altitude 16 prepro which has a total of 20 channels. 16 of the channels have balanced analog outputs and the othe four Channels use the rca and optical sp...

Righto then, I guess there is no reason not to try this, except that one of the original crossovers here is non-functioning (if I remember correctly), so if trialling in stereo I'll have to crossover in Melquiades. Should have the parts here to do t...

Well, it looks I’m near finding a more or less acceptable setting for the T350 tweeter. Ironically and completely accidentally it is not far form I use to be. It is still on the slope at 20Hz (since the T350 is pretty dead at 16kHz) but now it is &nb...

[quote user="drdna"]I was really shocked when I saw this idea of yours. It is a trade off of course with improved control over narrower frequncy bands being traded for axial symmetry. Yet because the position of the drivers is so very imp...

Hello again, Romy...
I totally agree with you about changing the rear chamber volume. It makes a very positive improvement in extension as well as quality. Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable...

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

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

Well, acg, I am not wild about your idea of the curved frame,
primary on the reason of esthetics but it is your speaker not mine and you
shall do whatever pleases you. A few mandatory things that I would like to

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

Ah, Texas, they are truly helpless people. They did not reach the level of humans evolution when such a fine things as bass time alignment would matter. They need to experience an influence of the Renaissance first.... Seriously, a nice looking list...

I helped Romy shuffle around some hardware and connect some cables yesterday. That damned table weighs about 100.000 pounds. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see live, in-person how Romy thinks about audio and incorporates th...

I have been doing some work with integration of tapped horns. I have discovered some interesting things that are not being discussed on any other forums. I’ll start at the beginning so a full picture will be clear. At first I placed the tapped ho...

[quote user="mats"]I wonder if an exponential horn would raise the bottom slightly? [/quote]Yes, a move from tratrix (or La profile) to exponential profile will yield some raise the bottom, however it come with prolonging of the horn and in some case...

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...

Sounds Very interesting, If you can change the loose insulation in there for Cellulose, it is supposedly much better sound wise than fiberglass. It would also help to avoid leakage of bass to other parts of the house through the attic, if that is p...

i see the words time alignment quiet often in this forum :)Which is a good thing. But can you show a graph / measure that says what it means in a result?Or do you just mean the woofer is standing next to the mains?Cheers Josh ...

The visual element of the brief shoyld be able to be achieved by doing thing nicely, thought out and with good materials.I am aware of the no parallel walls and this may well be utilised into the design. A simple stud wall, set inside the perimeter w...

I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

I don't have RF sweep generator but it's fairly easy to source here. I will take the tuner to local FM tuner tech to re-check alignment and we'll take it from there in a couple of weeks. I will have to read more about RF circuits trough this tim...

Gee, now that I read my post again after yours.... that last bit didn't quite say what I was wanting to say (I hate when that happens). I was really referring to people being "brand specific" as my example of the 45 showed that you can't always...

Tweeters Alignment - what is a bitchy subject! I was mildly complaining about it for years and during the last few weeks I complain about my own tweeters - primary because the very same issues of the imperfect alignment. This there is a derivation of...

Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

This is my first horn build effort. Been thinking about this since starting to build loudspeakers and finally have a listening space big enough to support a horn system. This is where I am at now, I know there are opportunities for improvement. And I...
