Hello Romy and everyone here, Thanks again for your thoughts on the large horns. It seems best to start a new thread, as previous threads dealing with the "10-Footer" originally began as discussions of other subjects. Romy, you may want to move previ...

There is a new company out there that makes horn-loaded acoustic system. I know a guy who is involved, I presume he is the owner or one of the owners, but I know very little about the design and the sound of the Sadurni Acoustics. So, let see wha...

Although all of it has no relation to digital crossovers but still:
[quote user="cv"] On a vaguely related note: I dunno if you realise this, but conventional (ie excluding horn or large area ESL) speaker systems, even if measuring flat amplitude, i...

A visitor of my site, a guy who never ask stupid question about audio, asked me a question how to find a correct size of the back chamber of a straight upper bass horn that he juts built. I wrote a reply but then realized that it would be worth to up...

I am sorry I do not want to pollute the PP2000 thread with battery options.Right now I am in the process of testing a lot of different comercial amps to see what I will stay with, or which route I will be taking with my system in the near future for ...

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...

Here are some real world measurements made at the 2007 NYC sub shoot out. The distortion numbers and characteristics should help us understand the difference between tapped horn distortion and conventional front loaded horn distortion.

I did not try to measure it. Can anyone confirm the following : I assume this parameter is most easily determined by playing a series of tones at constant signal strength (volume setting) whi...

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...

Similar to the famous sexist tail that women can be only ether pretty or smart the midbass horns unfortunately behave in the very same way: they can be only nicely placed in a room or they can sound good. You want the horn to place in a specific ...

[quote user="tuyen"]When i change the cutoff of the 505tt to 200hz and 250hz, I experience that same 'hole' you mention about. Hence why I was questioning if it is the 160hz le'clech horn causing this and if using the goto s150 horn with it's di...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Romy, thank you very
much for very detailed explanation of your horn theory. Let me present some
doubts about it. From physics basics when we have more than one springs
(suspension, throat resistance, back chamber) we can...

It is not a secret that my short interaction with Murat and
my observation the progress he has with his playback made me to feel that his
is an idiot. There is nothing new in it, most of accidental audio people are
idiots. Nevertheless, I think it...

Hi Romy,
been reading you for some years now and 99% of the cases agree with your judgments (and sarcastic criticism).
Some data on ANIMA.
The bass is an exp horn tunned to 50Hz using the floor as a virtual expansion of the...

Romy,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Remind you that horn
not only does that but it performs acoustic transformation gradually. [/quote]
Yes, I do
agree with you about that. From both theoretical and practical point of view it
is 100% true. But...

During the 2002 CES, late at night, a friend of mine demonstrate me something that was tying to address for a few years. It was a very different “tone” form a loudspeaker or I would rather say a different relationship between reproduced and auditable...

My primary
interests (when I do purely technical listening) are in the field of psychoacoustics
and the last 2 years I spent a lot of time investigating how the brain reacts
to differently arranged sound sources. The interesting thing is that the ...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

As I said above your you "experienced today with GOTO" is just your transitional
feeling and you will change this feeling many times. To accommodate a pair of 42Hz
horn in a system is a year-long project otherwise you get an accidental result.

It looks like Jeffrey Jackson formed a new company and along
with his friends makes a new horn-loaded products. http://www.wheel-fi.com/

Have you tried using the Edgar350/2441-combination between the upper bass- and midrange horns, like Romy’s fundamentals channel?
I use a very similar combination (140 Hz and 600 hz tractrix with Studio 8M and JBL 2420 drivers, respecti...

I was thinking and thinking last couple days what to do with
my lower midbass situation. I do need to use 2 drivers per channel with 100dB efficiency
to get the dBs I need to match Macondo and Milq’s bass channel gain. I do want to use Vitavox 15”...
