[quote user="Paul
S"]If you said anything about your 15" VitaVox in the video, I
must have missed it. What frequency range are you running them, and what
is low-pass filter? Given your prejudices, I suppose the cabinets are sealed,
so they can't...

I spent many hours listening and experimenting, trying to change the signature of my mid-base channel. Everything that I'm trying suggest me that I am in at very right direction but I am still not server I would say freeze the system and do not t...

I know many would view the two frequencies as similar and perhaps of little consequence, but I have my reasons.My primary, driving objective for wanting the horn to produce sound faithfully to at least 90Hz is that 90Hz represents an ideal crossover ...

[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

[quote user="drdna"] 1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which is based initially on a single-driver type backloaded horn. To me this suggested that the seller was seeking the benefit...

Despite the tremendous popularity of the single-ended amplifiers have a certain group of audio people, let to be honest: the SETs do not sound REAL in audio people’s listening rooms. I was in many of those listening rooms and have heard many best SET...

W,
Be careful with Milq’s LF channel. When you go for a dedicated LF SET and make the SET to operate very low then you need very precisely dial in the loading of your out tube with the behavior of your LF drivers/enclosure. Without know the very spe...

[quote user="Paul S"]Greg, I have written about my "DEBZ" speakers several times at this site, [/quote]D. Olsher's Basszilla -- of course! Sorry, Paul, I forgot.[quote user="Paul S"]If I were to do the DEBZ concept right now, I would tune the BR...

Mani,
I would leave the subject of DSET/horn setup for another thread and would drop a few words about Zu Druids. They are not the speakers that I would ordinary comment but since I have a local guy with Zu Druids and I had a chance to hear th...

Oh, rowuk, you have no idea how much I agree. To me passive theaters very much like ports and I hated anything which stay even remotely close to it. However, this time the entire Remedios project is is very different s s is built not based upon knowl...

I though this would be answered elsewhere (AA) but Bruce Edgar did not reply. This question is important for me, maybe someone can help.When running an impedance sweep on the Edgar 80Hz horn some serious bumps showed up. (I ran the sweep because it s...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Again, it was very interesting, but… Let agree that methodologically you did not try Placette as it performance was masked out by you need to use your Neurochrome buffer to get gain. Your chain will sound as the worst eleme...

Well, Nerone, the differences between any tuners would greatly vary with signal, not even with the strength of signal but rather with the specific location and surrounding of a given station. To make the things conceptually right it wou...

Hm,… yes and no. Inductance is not necessary an evil. Well, it is an evil for open-top-end drivers but you need to look at the life of compression driver all around and then you understand that inductance is not limiting evil. Sure with grow of diame...

Romy, in the contrary, it is very unfair to compare my 845 amp with the 6C33C. The main reason is the 845 amp used the best output/interstage transformer available, while the 6C33C's output xformer is pretty good but far from being best for the 6C33C...

Hi Romy,I see why you don't like the design. And in particular, the choice of where he chose to limit the frequency responses for the two channels. I see the benefit of the DSET approach in this context as you explained it. If I understand you, your ...

Chris,
I head a lot a lot of good thing about Pieter from Tribute and I would like to recruit him for the s2 transformer. We send last week to him an email and he did not reply. I heard from many other people that it is a very typical for his commu...

OK, the amp is running for the 6C41C for a few days and it looks like the tube should be burned-in sufficiently enough for now. Still I have to note that the sound of 6C41C was not changed since my initial listening of this tube.
Originally I drove ...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Would YO 186 be appropriate to use in "fundamental" chanel? Over narrower band width, to color, "spice," "flavor" more? [/quote]It would depend how the Fundamentals Channel is used. The YO186 has phenomenal lower MF, n...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Romy's comments on "axial rotation" of the horns (meaning in this case, angling the horns) has me thinking. I had planned to build in a vertical tilt adjustment for horns located near the floor and ceiling... I woul...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have not heard any other systems using Vitavox S2 drivers, but I know it is possible to get the S2 to generate on-axis unpleasentries. In the case of the system I am building, one can happily sit straight in the firing ...

Thanks, Paul.
My Googleised Chinese allowed me to understand that they use some kind of forced cooling but there was not mentioning of it. Upon further inspection I come across to this image:
So, the amp has two fans aside to ...

A second opinion needed.
Interesting, I recently found a very-very well performing setting for my EV T350 tweeter. I changed the source for HF channel form amplifier’s output to the MF channel and now I source the HF channel AFTER the MF high-pass f...

It might only appear that it is irrelevant subject. In reality this is the subject of my LONG DREAM… and I have almost realized it.
I spend entire days to redo the Air Conditioner system to accommodate it for my listening room. The house has a...

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...

[quote user="Thorsten"]I wonder, which specific line level interstage transformers have you tried, it would have to be ALL of them in order for your statement "there are non" to hold.......But, what specifically do you object to in these transformers...
