[quote user="miab"]I had a dac that took 10 months, a turntable bearing a year and two compression drivers that took almost three years to arrive. All of them had me wanting to give up on them but persevered for the goal. I have spoken to Damien and ...

Do proper horns "suffer" from K2? Do you not think that the back chamber loading is part of the engineered concept? Are you sure that reflections from the room that travel through the horn to the diaphragm would not cause more trouble? How can yo...

Hello Romy,Which other output tubes have you considered? I researched ‘suitable’ output tubes to drive tweets a while back for compression drivers [Be domes] — but not phenolic domes. Reading of your results with the EV tweet reminded me of how sweet...

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'm looking to internally wire to binding posts on exterior of box from woofers in a sealed cabinet. I was wondering what are some options for wiring that will not be a hinder. Would a heavy gauge copper 6nine's copper be sufficient? I'm using so...

[quote user="ShuffleSk8Ter"]there is one system that resembles what live music sounds like and its not a horn! To be honest I really have no idea of what topology these horns were setup like... all i have evaluated is there soundI like to go into som...

My work to make the Fane S 8m work, continues amd I have yet to hear my midbasshorn built perferctly according to Romy-specifications. I will continue because in early trials there was something I did like. I guess I will just end up with a measly €...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Romy, I'm very pleased to learn that you've got your Injection Channel done. I assume the above illustration is not indicative of the way you have the Tannoy Red aligned with regard to the other drivers, as it appears to b...

Hi Romy,Your the first person that I have seen that seems to have actually made PP tube amps work with compression horn drivers. It has been my experience that PP amps don't like the low watt operating range. I supose it all is a matter o...

[quote user="manisandher"]I received my copy of 'The Karp Segall Experiment' today. The music's not really 'my cup of tea', but it's OK as background music for me. Using RME's Digicheck, I'm measuring -50dB noise at 81KHz... [/quote]What was the RMS ...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I would like to ask a question. Does the Jubilee add a specific color signature, or does it change appropriately with the music it plays? [/quote] To make it brief. I do not think that it is warranted to talk about “Jubile...

Allo Romy, I have no idea about the above - my gut feeling is that the required thickness of material would be too great, still, I bow to your experience in S2 mods. I just wanted to mention something that came to mind that might be of interest: I re...

"I would be no surprised that in the case of proper use the GOTO-type approach and Fane-type approach would perform identically properly"Both the Fane and the Goto where used as compression drivers, so there where no principal differences of use."Do ...

Romy Hi, Raplh uses a 300b push pull, but the power supplies are massive, parts alone 15K Euros, each channel has a separate supply, the pre-amp again two massive power supplies , he prefers to use eight of the horn loaded bass bins, although I...

Romy, if you have some spare diaphragm/VC assemblies for your S2 drivers, do the experiment I mentioned above (remove the outer layer of the VC) and we will talk about the inductance in terms of sound after you hear the results with your own ears... ...

Hi Keith,Is there any chance of sharing the measurements? I agree with the your comment regarding the sound of them. Although in saying that, I have managed to only listen to a few other different compression drivers so far. Is there somewhere I...

Thanks Romy, I'm using a TAD 10" mid in a sealed box to produce 200hz-800hz. Although I'm fairly happy with it, I'm hoping a compression driver/horn would give even better results. There aren't a lot of ready made options for 200-800hz so I chose Got...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

Hello Marc Henry,I am curious as to why you picked the 4540 driver for HF. I have no experience with this unit but it is interesting since the design claims to be of the "ring-radiator" type. This topology was invented by Steen Duelund for use in reg...

First off, I will point out that neither Silbatone nor I claim or agree that the Aporia horn is a point source, because clearly it is not. The sound comes from two "areas" but even that is not a particularly useful notion.Although some do make that c...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

[quote user="haralanov"] My driver has not even a single trace of tizzing top end. Tizzines is intrinsic feature of ribbon drivers (including RAAL), not of well designed paper drivers. Actually, the heart of my acoustic system is ultra high perf...

[quote user="Jorge"]I am not using the S2 driver, I have been going the long way testing a bunch of different compression drivers. Right now I am testing the TAD 2001, I can say leaving it full range going all the way up, it develops a certain ...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about

fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...
