Well, this a sad reality of Hi-Fi shows. Alex is new to Hi-Fi shows and he is trying to do something better. He will go over it. More experienced vendors do not give damn about sound in their room as they understand that the “sound in the room” is no...

[quote user="martinshorn"]hi Anthony Im not saying to use ribbons (really not) but why you’re afraid of high capacitance that kind of shortens the resistance in high frequencies while you’re not playing the woofers in those (>10k) ?It’s purely AC ...

thanks for the good infoactually we are developing a full horn-loaded speaker the bass-bin is just inspired by Klipsch La Scala (just like Volti speaker) with curved sides. the mid-range consists of TAD 4001/Beryllium in Edgar wooden Tractrix horn an...

Yesterday a local hi-fi guy invited me to listen his new speaker. He picked up Altec Model 19 - I am known not to be a big fun of those speakers but they have own sound in the scale of non-demanding, off-the-shelf monitors. Upon expecting the speaker...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Hello Romy!
When I listened to the Goebel NXT speaker I was impressed how it can reveal structure or the absence of it at levels where one would really have to concentrate on when listening to a conventional speaker, and I find, ...

Twogoodears, What you are experimentation now has yet nothing to do with DPoLS. You deal with the relatively rudimental ceremony of speaker positioning. It is not even close to the subject of DPoLS but it is also greatly neglected by majority of peop...

Sure, contemporary polymer concrete can be made suitable for speaker enclosures or horns. Its biggest sonic benefit is that the material itself is fairly non-resonant. It's just a bitch for a DIYer to make one after another while experimenting with s...

See link below for some marketing hype relating to the audio potential for graphene. Somewhat interesting title given the mediocre performance of modern (all) headphones. But new technologies always hold some future hope:

After a few hours of playing strategizing I just literally just sitting in the chair, doing nothing and just looking at the speaker I find a brilliant idea how can completely recover it. I mean completely. I'm going to send to my cabinet maker a Sket...

Here is a VERY interesting paper http://www.anstendig.org/Stereo.htmlSTEREO: A MISUNDERSTANDINGTHE THEORY, SOUND-SYSTEMS, AND PROBLEMS OF HEARINGThere is a common misconception that the addition of stereophonic sound-reproduction was the necessary, c...

RomanThe main point is that I like the Bass SET aproach with LF capable transformers and have a potent SET to properly drive whole band and take the amp out of equasion in the future when I learn how to build horn speakers. The system I have is an ac...

By the time I got seriously involved in hi-fi, in the early 60s, speakers and their drivers were already undergoing significant changes from which they would never "recover". Basically, for reasons that are no longer clear to me now, drivers and...

[quote user="Winnie"]In talking with Shelly Katz a few days ago, I brought up the topic of how sound is perceived in the context of layered sound or indeed oops. He is a very busy man and we did not have long to develop the conversation, but this is ...

Romy, you mention the passive radiator and then you link to a normal 5" poly-cone driver. I guess I don't get what you mean.I can't remember hearing a "passive radiator" speaker that was worth the dynamite to blow it up. Those I have heard made reg...

...seems to me finacio-emotional not technical. The Macondo and 9 channel Melquiades are really one device, essentially an active speaker. If a maker did not feel obliged to put the amp and the speaker in different boxes he would obviously optimise t...

It's dead. Nobody cares about sound anymore. Esp. not about passive listening. The few music lovers left there, are usually immune to their systems, and lack the knowledge to build their own. Most high end audio is a fraud anyway. I agree with Earl c...

[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...

I do have a speaker with a flat impedance. It is an Apogee Caliper Signature with an impedance variation from 3 to about 4.5 ohms over the whole range. Fortuneately it is not so dead as your example as it has about 86db sensitivity. ...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

It of course is hard to say anything about the midrange without hearing the speaker. LF and HF are surely standard yellow cone.It is cold in Germany this time of year. A GM100 amp would be an inefficient but beautiful heater in the 20 square meter ro...

The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as
well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism.
While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result
is consistant. As it turns...

While a listener moves let say a few inches closer to an acoustic system like Jessie’s or mine then sh/e does not move closer to ALL drivers. Macondo is vertically piled up multiple drivers and when a listener head move closer to speaker then it most...

After looking at the different solution I desired to use under the bottom of Macondo the regular felt sliders. This give the best slide and firmness and it will look attractive and I am not wild about the even very small wheels. The point is that the...

I cannot say much for others but in my case, my listen room is fixed, either good or bad, larger or small. There are only so many ways to fit all the audio stuffs into a space. Of course, if the space is not an issue, time-aligned install...

This is an interesting subject. My system certainly follows the 'form follows function' rule but I have wondered how the looks of a speaker (or entire system) effects the listener's perception. Of course we have all experienced some male grunti...

I can't express how much I hate this speaker, not necessary the speaker but rather the company or the people who are behind the company. I do not pretend that I am a Sherlock Homes or Dr. House and that I can read behind the immoderate diagnoses but...

[quote user="The Cat"]Nope, I had it floated and grounded and practically have seen no difference[/quote]Yes, I would suspect this in most installations. I guess my concern is for the rare and unusual. A floating speaker might be able to ...
