[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am glad that Fane “now found … that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to”. Such a phenomenal discovery of the British archeologists. Can you ship them here in US, they can help us to fin...

Hi Romy,Got my new Le Cleach tractrix horns (320hz) for the Vitavox S2's. I'm x-ing over at 600hz with 2nd order 12db/Octave which I know is barbaric for you but it is all I have for the moment. With the new horns the S2s are puttin...

...this interesting point has no practical answer. First of all in the case of Rakesh horn what N-Set proposed is not necessary. Those 115Hz Hasqiun-style horns that Rakesh emulates are well dumped with own mass and own ...

Hello Romy!Cessaro had severe resonance problems in their room, so I didn´t stay long here. What I noticed in the short time (maybe too short for a qualified judgement) was no stabiltiy broblems but less musical than the 300B last year. Hard to descr...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...

Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

Hi Romy. Confused by your statement i flipped a few pages back and just noticed you changed / corrected your opinion along the course. So you're back to white polyester? I have 6 different dia's in my storage, all different surrounds, but did not ...

Here are a couple of measurements of S2's (not taken at the show).Both are taken at the listening chair, ear position in my system.This one is on a 2nd order passive, spec'd to cross at 1.25KHz.(This was Coco's S2 with new surrounds on a Le Cleach 55...

Phil, as I can see most of your horns, if not all of them, in one or other way explore the baby-cheek idea. Are any specific reasons why you employ the baby-cheek so heavily? I know the basic theory about the baby-cheek radiation pattern (something t...

Romy,To clear up a few things about the Kilimanjaro RCA1428 clones.The B&C DCM50 is a modern, neodymium clone/copy of the RCA MI-1428B. It was designed and built by B&C in Italy after Bill Woods of AHhorns talked the CEO into it. The DCM50 is...

Hello to all Good Sound Club Members, and special thanks to Romy The Cat.
We are a Polish audio company started in 2011.
For now we have two tractrix horns available - 400 Hz and 600 Hz. Next week we also should have 115 ...

Hi Pete,You have a similar size room to me. I'd rather like a large 4 or 5 way setup but don't have the space. I use the S2's (in barbaric stylee) in damped RH330's. Beneath them I use a frontloaded (folded) bass horn Vitavox made called the Oracle. ...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...

Romy dropped by yesterday. He goddamn demonstrated how "yellow" and compressed the Lowther (Reps-1, in my case) is, using my system, by simply playing other channels and the Lowther channal separately (mine is a 4way multi-amp set up, so it's v...

Ah yes, sorry - that wasn't remotely clear. The drivers I have played with briefly are S2 and field coil RCAs, both have the same 1.5" throat. I was referring to my initial impressions of the sound on Martin Seddon's 160Hz horn (T=0.8 JMLC). Previous...

"I think the ultimate length of the upperbass horn is 3”- 4” throat. With longer horn it would be very complicated to time-align it as the horn will mask out the MF driver." Is this also why you use tractrix curve for expansion? To shorte...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]It is interesting to note that the evaluation tool shows lines radiating perpendicular to the curve at any given point, just as the sound wave is supposed to be oriented as it progresses along the horns length. [/quot...

Collin,
I do not remember that I wrote that Trios are “duller”. In fact I do not remember I ever wrote anything about Trios in comparing to my current hors. Furthermore, my “Macondo” derived for the Trios and practically fully inherited the Trio’s ...

Very, nice thanks, ulf.
I never heard this company and it is good the more horny newcomers pop up her and there. The epoxy carbon-kevlar and glass fibers staffed with damping? I wonder how more fun would be if they staff these hollow horns with sand...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The tweeter is sitting at 1.5K, first order. That is king of low crossover point for tweeter but it is OK. The problem that I see that with this time of the filter and a compression driver used I think the horn for th...
