Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Even if you don't agree with the design, there's some clever DIY going on here.[/quote] Sorry, I did not now see any “clever DIY going on” in there. For sure he is a skilful, perhaps wonderful machinist and perhaps good ca...

I have tried a second filter on the Supravox as per your suggestion. Very interesting, it really has audible effect on the sound even if it is small when I put the filter around 40hz. I will try on 60hz and 80hz and keep on listening. It will take ti...

HifiOrDie, I've turned my own horns from MDF and the end-grain is a real bitch to finish properly. You have the outside of each sheet and the glue in between which is nice and hard and then softer material in between, sort of like tiger or zebra str...

I have been looking in to mid bass horn designs to experiment with lately for the 4 way horn pa I am working on. As usual Good Sound Club always is on the Google search when dealing with any kind of horns. Although my reply to your post may be a few...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] ... did anyone have an OK sounding amp with ½ 6C33C ...[/quote]The 6C33C has only one pin that connected to both plates. Since I use ½ of 6C33C in my MF and UpperBass channels then I theoretically burn just a hal...

The new Super Milq is running for a days, amplifying burn-in tracks; the MF channel is loaded to 12R resistor. After a couple days of disgust even to look at the amp I decide to see tonight what happening with sound now and to my surprise Sound did c...

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...

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 ...

Thanks Johan, I got my SG505's and S150 horns, my throat piece is a lot longer than the one you showed above. Why can't they just sell that little screw... along with lots of other "why can't they"...Anyway, I just reread this thread and I can m...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet. That what I ...

This is an interesting metal exercise – what would be the most beneficial for audio public and what would be “signaturial” for a manufacturer. Since the company do not turn the horn as most of the people do but use CNC machine then it would be very i...

I think it is very interesting subject and I’m looking for first hand opinions by people, using properly sounding upper bass horns in their listening rooms. I’m not interested in theoretical opinions – only by opinions, coming from personal listening...

I was tipped off to a dac over at the proaudio forum Gearslutz. It is usually difficult to gauge those users references as most are responsible for many of the bad habits in audio record engineering. One user who I seem to agree philosophically with ...

Righto then, I guess there is no reason not to try this, except that one of the original crossovers here is non-functioning (if I remember correctly), so if trialling in stereo I'll have to crossover in Melquiades. Should have the parts here to do t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

Probably not one subject among horn enthusiasts does not arouse as much fantasies as midbass horns. This subject in one way or another was discussed at my site (look for the linked threads) but I would light look at the subject of the Midbass ho...

Unfortunately I've reached out but not managed to make contact with John Hasquin regarding the spacer in the upperbass horn. I'll just have to wing it.I did finally manage to get a day and a half to make the second DSET operational but it refuses to...

There are still room modes to contend with the first starting at about 41Hz.Here is an impedance plot of the left Bass Cannon as seen by the amplifier, so including speaker cable.As you can see I managed to get Fs down to about 44Hz and it turns out ...
