Oops,
I'll send the images again once back at work on Monday.
The thraot size will be 7 inches.
Yes I have thought about paying someone else to do the work, but that sort of skilled labor is super expensive around here.
And... Yesterday ...

It is very uncommon, practically never happens but still very rarely it is possible to talk about sound or playback systems from a prospective of “absolute tone”. Yes, the audio people love to take about tone of their audio but in 99.999% those audio...

Wow, where did you see a 1kW
amplifier that is able to produce bass that does not make you vomit? Also, why
would you need power like this. If you go with 15” high sensitivity driver,
then you would need 20-30W max. Do not forget that your objecti...

de Charlus, this “are not afraid of cabinet resonance per se” is complicated subject. I have raised the topic in the “How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers” thread:

Listening my Macondo with new “Fundamental channel” I noted that my tweeter is not as effective as it use to be. The effect of “not-effectiveness” is very minor but at some recordings it is notable. My T350 still sorts the Vitavox S2’s top but it als...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting, I did drop the crossover frequency but I do not like the result. I was driven in different configurations and experimented from the current 13kHz to 7.5kHz. As soon I drop below ~ 11.8kHz then the overl...

With the project of the 6-chennal Super Melquiades is about to hit its final stage I might to review my summarizing observations. The 6-chennals Macondo is driven by 6-chennals dedicated DSET Melquiades, that looks like properly orgies for the job. T...

Wow, I mean really, really, really, really, really WOW!
A week ago I converted one of the Super Milqs to 5:1 loading and yesterday I converted another one. I loved what the last week converted amp did. It was very nice but today I put the entire sys...

The more I think about the mode I am getting excited about the
direction the Remedies went. I see now how I can convert
the problem that I have with large inbound baffle into actual advantages. The
new plate will be probably 1.5”, heavy coupled an...

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] The AK150 and 152 are not new creations dreamed up by Mike; they were made back in the day by Vitavox but nobody ever talks about them and I have never seen either. See the Unofficial Vitavox web site; AK150 = Catalog...

What I found captivating in the story of the Living Voice speaker is the he motivation of the Living Voice people to go from their former model to this new one. This itself. is a very interesting to me subject.
If you look at the image of the...

This is normal, I have written about it many times. Those large bass drivers have a lot...

Thanks Romy, Paul, and Ronnie for the comments and encouragement :
Here are some responses :
1) Rubber gaskets :
Maybe it is not so important to have an “air-tight” seal (???). The rubber gaskets are there to seal the cover to the rear chamber...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There are some advantages in S3 design that feel might be beneficial for sub 1K use of S3 drivers. The S3 had more accurately made output channel. I think it shell more benefit FH but who knows… Also, and this is a very bi...

Paul,
Ok, I would agree with this. The power handling is the factor that I forgot to mention. The Japanese home drivers are rated for a few watts vs. the pro driver are rated for hundreds watts. BTW, some of older pro drivers (like my Vitavox) wer...

Despite my generally-negative experience of driving Vitavox S2 from field-coil I might consider to try in the coming year the same experiment one more time, since I am driving my MF driver now by a different DHT amp. I would like to see how the D...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

Was invited over to Romy's today for a listen. In the last two days, he made several small but critical changes in the time alignment, crossovers, and room damping, and the sum of them has brought his system up by several notches producing the best a...

I worked on the Dannoy's for about a year, first with the Vitavox bass driver, then using two tannoy red 10's using only the cone for the second unit to improve volume and bass reproduction. Changed out amplifiers, used original, English new knockoff...

Hi Josh,I think it is all a matter of perspective. Personally, I would be very surprised if the key elements of the sound of that system that so impressed you is due to the Goto drivers. There are at least three more important things: that big roo...

Mark, what is it exactly that you have heard from the S2s that attracted you in the first place? This is important, I think, because this is what you have as a starting point, to work from and to use as a reference point as you develop the soun...

hi alli found a company in china wich can produce the compression drivers on my request. has anyone the exact specifications and drawings of the vitavox s2 driver ? that's of course essencial to get them made. i will also send a email to t...

Well, I guess I have to pass some observations about the new Living Voice Vox Olympian.
I did not listen them, did not talk to the people who behind the Living Voice and all that I know about them are the Six Moans articles and a few threads ...

hi Woitek. The K33 extend the bottom end by the high Q, to almost 40 cycles . Which is only ok if you work with passive XO on a single amp. Well that's how they were designed. Having designated amps that allow you to steer the parameter or even bett...

Romy,I think there are many of us that follow your audio endeavours with a lot of interest and a lot of envy. I'm not talking about having the money to buy the Vitavox S2 etc.. I wish I had the ability to come up with interesting speakers/ampli...

Again, Romy, nothing short of amazing that time, energy and focus came together for you! And good to hear that you are still getting Music from old CDs. I hope it goes just as smoothly for you when you turn back to LPs.If you said anything about your...

Hi Pete,You have a similar size room to me. I'd rather like a large 4 or 5 way setup but don't have the space. I use the S2's (in barbaric stylee) in damped RH330's. Beneath them I use a frontloaded (folded) bass horn Vitavox made called the Oracle. ...
