I had many interesting listening experiences while I used the Water Drop’s Macondo. I would try to surmise briefly the sonic consequences of the Water Drooping. “Me” and “briefly”, would it be possible? Well, where did you see a Jewish boy who refuse...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] The HF sound is very quick and weighty , which can be quite nice on classical guitar for examlpe, but the tone is not clear enough, meaning for example cymbal attacks don't have enough metallic ring to them, nor enough blo...

Very interesting… Earl Geddes just posted his thoughts for the Morons at the AA. I do not know is he was inspired by my post of by the completely foolish nose that the AA’s idiots razed around the Cogent’s Steve and Rich experiments but still – it wa...

E-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y!!! Eventually the new “fundamentals channel” horn sounds as it should being incorporated in my Macondo! The key was the second order. I really never drove compression drivers to their 500Hz as I always used upperbass h...

[quote user="zako"]ROMY Your analogy of fitting the foot to the shoe is on the right track... Some times you need is a better pair of sox,,,You dont need to change the decorum of the Symphony hall..When you have a shitty orchestra,,, Sometimes ...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

Jessie,
I was trying to evaluate the gain of my amplification in respect to larger room and again was thinking about your case. I think something that you do it not correct. You are complaining that you have not enough gain in upperbass, but I...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Good, I hate to know everything! I just wrote that the poor Murat
with his neurotic audiophile itch is condemned to go brainlessly very soon over
many drivers. A few days pass and the guy have brought to his room an army ...

I am reading through those interesting threads.
I have just won a pair of S2 on ebay so I am interested in horns for them. I have fired an email to Vitavox Peter and I will get his diaphragms. Since my drivers are in UK, maybe he ...

If you have unused full range Milq channel then it is very easy for you to test Red Twitter. Use default crossover, just open the connector to the driver and cut off the red wire that leads to base driver. Connect it out of face S2 driver a...

I would like to share my 5-way horn project.
The idea was to have full range system, so the first horn built was Tapped Horn.
I got design from Volvotreter.de and was really impressed with performance of this monster.

My 18-cell is a classic 18-cell very similar of the one that the guy from Sweden built:

The difference is that my multicell has 3 extra cells and out...

I was searching for an answer why squire wave is so screwed and I was advised by the site’s visitors that it is due to HF restriction of my channel. My HF response does look too low to me – the 23kHz; with all my ultra low capacitance magnetic I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, I have to admit that I did not listen the whole sound of AC vs. DC filaments yet. I will bring home today my DC lab supply that I use for my electromagnet coil and will give the try. I still at this point am not...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

It was back in 2001-2002.
David Karmeli brought to Vegas a pair of original Vitavox CN-191 that he
did not show publicly. They just were sitting in “another” room, unconnected with
no purpose. One night he was experimenting with them and the stars...

I think 8-8-1 will be very good configuration all together.
Make sure it stays sufficiently far from back wall. Point the axis toward to your shoulder and I think it would
be fine setting. Turn off tweeters and Fundamentals channel and set right

I was pointed out to Steve Guttenberg’s video “Meet Joe, and
his amazing DIY horn speakers” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoCVw2AJRc.
I would like to provide some commentary regarding what I
observed in there. Steve Guttenberg is an in...

So in an effort to learn something about the way the 288 and S2 sound the way they do, what do you suppose the mechanical differences in the construction of each driver that causes the differences in sound as they look so similar physically?

[quote user="Murataltuev"] Romy, read
my first post here.I told from the beginning that I'm going to try all kind of
respected drivers to decide for myself what I like most.This is not about
system as a whole with crossovering and other things. It...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...
