[quote user="CO"] Ive conducted some test with the smaller drivers because i wanted to know if i could build a compact high quality setup to replace my current fairly large speakers. It doesnt look possible though, mainly because (as you say )the Upp...

Here is my proposal for an ideal horn system. The concept derives from the really of the horns as I know them, the available park of the drivers, the drivers’ real capacity and from… everything else that I might comment upon if you would not figure o...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] 3. GOTO
SG-146LD in 46horn 50-400Hz
I've added 0,7m length to 2m horn, so now my
mid-bass horn has 4" throat and 1x1m mouth and 2.7m length. [/quote]
4" throat into 1x1m mouth…hmmm, you hardly

Martinshorn , that for feedback, as I always preach:
the bad result during audio show does not mean anything, only good results
count. You see, there are zillion reason why during the show the sound might be
horrible. The inadequacy of the people ...

[quote user="cv"]Romy, Can you expand a little more on what the issue with dipole bass is and what it does incorrectly? I'm still not sure I know exactly what you mean (and I've had a look at some of your other comments on the site).[/quote]Chris,

Klaus,Yes, I assumed that you had found the spec sheet; I only included the link for the convenience of others following the thread.Klaus wrote : "...whats wrong with 9,9"? its rougly 55% of sd? you think, 43" is too short for a 62hz h...

It is great that Wilson did anything like this, thank for
pointing out. I did not read the article passing 3rd paragraph and stooped
reading when they start taking about listening impressions. The listening
impressions from those people are truly ...

Antonio,
Bruce Edgar sells an excellent all front-loading horn system, the Titan, which works well in small rooms. He will sell you unfinished horns, and you can find/buy the drivers yourself if you are a DIY guy, or on a budget. Considering the...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I was under the impression that you did not at all electrically roll off the upper bass, and that the small throat would do all the (kinky) low passing. [/quote]
Nope I did roll of the upper bass channel as my driver goes all t...

Here I share some thoughts about what you have shown. I will
share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
All nessesary compliments for your planning come as a default and I do not
think you posted it here to ...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable free air resonance... such a toy would be wonderful with custom midbass and bass horns... [/quote]
It is why I use cone drivers f...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] This would impose a design that is not round but octagonal. It would...

axioms are breaking with using GOTO 146 with 4" exit in say 150Hz Tractix

Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms p...

Well, as uselessly the host who did the interview is an
idiot but it is nothing new. The music played is idiotic as well, there is
nothing new in there as well, the high-end audio today is made to play this
music. A few short words about the desig...

I do not care about the room treatment at this point. The treatment
you use looks like very effective but it is very premature in my mind to think
about it. It is not to mention that the
contribution the treatment has to LF frequency response is ...

Romy,
The upper bass horn has a Ceramic driver 18sound 8M400, the MF horn has an 18sound 2060A Neodymium magnet, tweeter is Beyma Ceramic driver and supertweeter is Fostex Alnico. The Leak amps are PP deep class A, we do have a...

Romy's quotes in blue:Daniel J. Plach's quote in green:"...The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn?..."Yes, it will be similar, but more robust; I have an idea for a locking-type seal, which I would pro...

Ok... Assuming the lack of time alignment is compensated for via a DSP:
There are likely large chunks of the frequency spectrum that go un addressed, and equally large chunks that are mall-addressed.
I would say that there are two main ranges ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]With lower then rate frequency Fs is also
is very simple. If you refuse to make own experiment and confirm the unloading
the bass from horn make difference then try to look at the subjects purely intellectually:

This weekend I was walking in my new listening room and did
some thinking how to organize everything. Unquestionably my first step would be
convers Milq LF section (bass line-array) from Midas accommodation to drive my woofer
tower, in a way how I...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...

Rakesh, during the last year, there were some very important moments in my own realizations about the methods of low frequency reproduction. I totally abandoned my Scanspeak bass modules and now they are resting in my garage. I intentionally have my ...

[quote user="drdna"] Now I have had the EdgarHorns in my system for a number of weeks and have been moving them around the room and moving things in the room around to make them sound their best. [/quote]

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now it will not be the midbass horn. [/quote]I think you have found phenomenally good sounding upper bass driver and you are going to build a dedicated quasi-bassreflex channel using it to fill the gap between your line arr...

The "better" 5751s got here and I took advantage of wifey's absence to listen at night. It was cool and the electricity was pretty good, just a little "dry", but no "cotton". Lazy boy, I still haven't fixed my DAC, so I have had only viny...

One of the most interesting outcomes of the Milq conversion into 6 channels is the impact it had to it MF channel. The tweeter is a separate subject, I still work on it, I know how it will be done but I did not hear the final result. I would li...

Sometimes when the harmonic bloom is diminished, especially upper bass and lower MF, I would describe the sound much as I hear from you now. I have 20 minutes at the most worth of patience for this, then I am out of my seat.Paul S...
