So, you use DCX 2496 for deals but not for crossovering and your crossovers are still on analog domain, right? Romy, I do everything in the digital domain so I use DCX 2496 as my crossover as well (but analog SS pro amps). I know you're no big fan of...

How Wilson sounds:Pressure caused by non-linear bass squeezed through narrow port holes.Shining caused by the papery upper mids of a too high crossed 6.5" midwoofer.Sparkle caused by the metal ringing of a titanium tweeter.What Wilson does:Use st...

Played around with beethoven 5th and guitar placement. I do not understand what to make of my experiment. I do not notice difference to upper bass but in the mass strings higher up, there are less holes in the sound if i may, more of a cluster of ins...

Adrian, was your PP1500 noise present ONLY in the phono section or across the sources/components? My tuner and digital work like a wonder, only phono picks the noise. I read your earlier description and my noise is not high pitched but rather upper b...

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 ...

Well, yes... I've not been to prison in over two years! Apart from keeping me off the streets at night, the results when listening to one of the 40Hz horns were, dare I say, encouraging, though I do hesitate to say so, as the "evaluation" was carried...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

user="anthony"] I have noticed that there are several commercial horn
offerings that push a wide bandwidth through a single horn (eg. Martion Einhorn
370Hz - 20kHz, BD Designs Orphean MKIII 270Hz - 22kHz) and I just wonder how
they do it i...

[quote user="skushino"] I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is this correct?
Maybe you're right. But here is wh...

Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

I do not think any manufacturers “do not care about what they make and sell”. They all do, or...

At this point I am absolutely confident the there is difference in Sound between the properly sounding PP2000 that I had before and the “new” version of PP2000. Let juts for sake of illustration I will call it PP2011. The PP2011 is better soundin...

Well, it unquestionably much better, still I am afraid that they are trying to spread one ass across two chairs; I will talk about it in the end. The change from what was before was around the frame and upperbass horn. It looks like the guys are tryi...

Michael,
I never head Single Power gears, or ever herd this company. I kind of have very specific type of sound that am wiling to get out the headphones. It is hard to describe but it should be very-very soft and moist but still with upper bass horn...

Hey Romy... you could be right about the ALE's.. I certainly did like them, but when I went back to that familiar recording it was definitely shelved down low.. it would be easy to assume that I thought that they were "lightweight" because I had...

Well, the more I think about it then more I realized that I would like to try it. I’m contemplating to make 5-6 channels on single-stage Milq: 4 channels for each Macondo channel and 1-2 reserved for any perspective lower bass channel or for perspect...

Well, the game with a “better” 10" bass driver is over. After years of mind looking for the 10” light-coned, papered 20Hz drivers with higher sensitivity and after a month of quite active searching for such a driver I concluded that such a driver jut...

Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude. My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no ...

[quote user="skushino"] Bottom exhaust.
Could keep it simple and fire straight down onto the floor. I think
there are benefits to adding a very robust floor platform beneath the mouth,
maybe with a reflector, similar to Bruce Edgar's Seismic Sub...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...

With that big horn covering such large frequency range I feel there would have a hole in the mid-range, or in the upper-bass. Not that I am supposing the information is not there, but it should not to be in there with reasonable "quality".I had not i...

I have no experience with bass horns, but I suppose that any sound source into a given size room can excite its modes, hence a big bass horn or a line array of boxed woofers can be equally annoying in that regard. So if the idea of using horns is to ...
